French Inspired Flea Market

July 11, 2013 by Patti 27 Comments

 “When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an adventure is going to happen.”  
A.A.Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
Last weekend I went on a “great explore!”  I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I’ll be participating in my first ever French Flea Market in September, so when I heard that Haley’s Cottage in Kirkland was sponsoring a French Inspired Flea Market I was ready to put on my Big Boots (sandals actually) and hit the road. I grabbed my friend Linda, who will be sharing a booth with me, and our two hubbies, who may be helpful with set construction (fingers crossed) and off we went on our adventure!

Here is a peek at some of the pretties we saw!

 Isn’t this emerald green couch great? They were literally stepping in to cart it away while I was snapping it’s picture.

I did a little oohing and awing over these succulents in pewter pots!

While Mr. OTN was schmoozing (one of his favorite things to do) he ran into this sweet couple visiting all the way from Tennessee. A fellow blogger and photographer I had to have a picture! See the old film reels she’s holding? She found them for the wall of her studio at JenniferLawrencePhotography.

 Loved these old doorknobs used as picture holders,

 and these two chairs made over into a bench. A very OldThingsNew kinda thing to do!

 One booth had so much vintage jewelry that I didn’t know where to start. I got a little stuck here and ended up with a pretty broach to go on my ragged old jean jacket. 

 A few of the vendors kindly let me take their pictures displaying their wares. Thanks ladies.

 Adorable outfit, yes?

 This was my favorite piece of the day with all of it’s distressed wood, rusty parts and mismatched pulls. Beautiful!

 At the end of our shopping day Mr. OTN made me pose for a picture myself . . . a little distressed, rusty and mismatched also. Where were you Linda?

It was a good day and I came home super motivated to get to work on my own projects. If you are in our area be sure to mark your calendars for the Queen Bee French Flea in September!

    Too bad I’m on the opposite side of the country, Patti! They had some beautiful treasures there, but I didn’t see you mention what you brought home!? If you left empty handed, good for you and you are far more disciplined than I! I really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing!

    Patti, what a fun time. Your favorite piece was also mine. Love it’s rustic charm. And that cute gals outfit, love it! I have some old door knobs and have been wanting to make one of those. I pinned it a while back from Angie of Knick of Time. Have I done it yet, nada! You’re still looking cute as ever. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
