flea market round up.

my first flea market of 2011....smmmmmmmmm !!! i couldnt sleep, got there by 7:30 and came away with just a few choice pieces. As some of you know im in the middle of a little design scheme overhall at my house. 

a pice of pacific pottery in a matte white finish. great art deco lines

a stig lindberg vase from the Karneval collection. its swedish and im in love. 

and last a cool drawing with an architectural bent. im so smitten, but i think ill be changing out the frame on this one. it deserves something a bit more chic. 


these 3 pieces will get incorporated nicely. I cant wait to see how its all going to come together. 

vintage tools

so recently i have found myself very attracted to vintage tools - not only are they beautiful but functional, as you may know, something that is very important to me -

i am most attracted i think to the patina on these pieces, but a patine that has literally come about because of hard work and persistence and i find myself drifting off into thoughts about the people who may have used these tools and what they were building -

and be sure to keep an eye out for some in the shop soon
