I have been busy, busier than ever.
I am getting ready for the French flea market on Saturday, super excited!
I hope you can make it!
It's sure to be a good time rain or shine.
There are lots of fabulous vendors and we all have tents in case of rain.
Remember, there is a Starbucks right on the corner if you need to warm up!
I'm also bringing fresh baked cookies!
Sound good?
I knew I could tempt you with goodies!
I've spent the day loading up one of the cars,
I've spent the day loading up one of the cars, {yes, I have 2 car fulls}
crafting, sewing, and baking.
One thing I did was rip a bunch of covers off vintage books{gasp!}
I know, but don't they look so pretty?
I tied them together with paper ribbon and added tissue paper flowers to the tops.
I love this combination!
I hope you all are having a great day!

Were you there last year around this time? I think I may have been there! We were visiting friends in Seattle and went to the cutest little outdoor shopping mall and stumbled upon a little french market in the parking lot. I bought a few things too! Sadly I live in Phoenix, so I won't be coming this year.
I will see you there Chickie! :)
