Yesterday I went to the Pasadena Flea Market for a super-fun group shopping trip with Eddie Ross. Here's a little recap in pictures of all the fun!
We started the morning at 10:00am, getting our name tags and meeting the friendly and fun Eddie and Jaithan. Then we were off on a whirlwind tour of the Rose Bowl Flea Market!
Eddie had such fun ideas for ways to modify these chairs. He recommends breaking sets up and putting them in different rooms around the house, and I LOVE that idea. I don't like matchy-matchy sets everywhere.
Great ideas for table settings for this tablecloth. I actually bought this very one he's holding, and I am extremely proud to say I had picked it up and was about to pay for it when Eddie spotted it, said it was pretty, and started talking about ideas for it. Knowing I picked out something Mr. Senior Style Editor for Martha/Top Design himself loved is like the ultimate compliment! Haha;)
After the tour was over, I went back for a second look at all these fabulous costume earrings and brooches. Eddie has such a fun craft idea for these ... modify them to be used as magnets! Click here to read about it on his blog.
So much pretty silver. Eddie knows a thing or two about collecting silver!
Couldn't miss the chance to get my picture taken with Eddie and Jaithan after it was all over. Granted, I'm only 5'3'', but those guys are really tall!
Couldn't resist posing with these vintage glasses. They look just like Jaithan's!
If you get a chance to take one of these little tours/classes, you MUST do it. Eddie is a fountain of knowledge about everything from furniture to flowers, and I was feverishly taking notes on my phone the whole time. The great ideas just kept coming!
Stay tuned for a full post tomorrow about all the fun stuff I bought:) And later this week, two fabulous crafty projects that I'm doing with my vintage finds!
You are just to cute!!!!!!!Jaithan and I love meeting you!!! xoxox
