flea mar•ket score


I admit - I am a bit of a flea market junkie. Well, let's be honest, it's more than a bit! I LOVE waking early, loading up the car with what I'll need for the day for me and Emma (my almost one year old baby girl), swinging by my mom's house to pick her up, and then heading out to the flea market. There is something about it that is just good for the soul.

I'll pass on furniture from a store all shiny with a new varnish. No, thanks. Give me the rough, tumbled, weathered, and used and I will repurpose it for my home or studio. Like these industrial metal crates I scored on my excursion today. I can't wait to put these babies to use!
