I have been hanging out with my dad and sis on the farm in Ocala Florida while I finish the fall issue of Flea Market Style magazine. We have less than 2 weeks to hand everything over to the publisher and the details are mind blowing. I am sorta a big picture gal so this part of the process is a titch stressful. This morning, my sister insisted I get off my butt, leave the computer screen so we could check out the local weekend flea market. I am glad she was persistent!
You will never guess what we used softballs for in this next issue of FMS!
My sister Karla found this handmade afghan which will be going on her Etsy site soon. It is awesome!
Yep, I thought so! Heywood Wakefield when I turned the chair over.
I always like the chairs the vendors sit in. Why is that?
My purchase, Texasware like bowls. Wish you could see the little speckles. My sister was not feeling it. It is nice to junk with someone that has different style picks. No fighting over stuff!
It is quiet on the farm so it is the perfect place to finish up the fall issue of Flea Market Style magazine. I have already upgraded my MiFi account when I ran out of bytes earlier today. No high speed Internet at the bunk house and if I stand in just the right spot I can stay connected for most cell phone conversations. This post was a challenge as my service cut out a few times before I finished. Geez!My sister informed me there are a few auctions coming up and I better get this magazine finished so we can do some more junking before I go back to LA.
Cheers,
Ki
I love to flea market with someone who looks for different things than I do -- always fascinating to see what they're shopping for and it's a great way to notice things I might have overlooked otherwise. Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the next issue of FMS. :-)
How fun to go junking with your sister! And especially when you have different tastes.
ReplyDeleteNot a crazy buying trip! I bet that was relaxing for you too.
ReplyDeleteI might have to look that Flea Market up. I'm off to Montana for a whole month!!! Can't wait.
Enjoy your 4th of July in Florida~SueBee

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know. My friend and her sister-in-Law met you in Nashville a few weeks ago and they said they were more excited to have met you than if they had run in to Nicole Kidman. You have 2 new FMS fans!
Thanks for all of your hard work! I can't wait to see the next Flea Market magazine!
ReplyDeleteGotta love "The Hunt," Ki!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think I'm an "odd" woman....I mean I don't like to shop WITH someone else, for the most part. I mean,,,I have my "eye" focused on various things and don't do well hanging around "ooo-ing and aaaahing" over someone elses considerations, but I DO love to share in their purchases AFTER the Hunt!
Farm Chicks is/was a perfect case in point. My sister in law Mary and I split up....."I'll meet you there in 3 hours" and we go our separate ways. Don't get me wrong, we LOVE to share our finds when we see each other AFTER the hunt is over. But she's got her Things,,,,and I've got mine!
We're the perfect Shopping team! Appreciation and yet respect enough to let the other person shop at their own pace!
Have a good break! (HA! Is there really such a thing??)
Hugs and love,
Shell
(I have a Giveaway going on, if you want to pop over...Custom Necklaces made out of old lace/vintage ribbons and tulle...If they're not "you"-you could give it away!)
KiMiFi...glad you are set up now, lol.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs some Texasware.
