I love finding interesting pieces at flea markets. Sadly, most flea markets where I live sell the newer junk and things of little interest. It is my goal to go to the 127 yard sale this year! I look forward to your posts and was glad you finally went to Waco/Magnolia. We lived there for 5 years and loved it.
I love how each piece has a story to tell!
They remind me of my older family members and how much fun we always had just being together.
Yes, I love incorporating flea market style to my decor. I love the back stories of items I purchase, and carrying that history forward. I also love sharing flea market finds with potential buyers in our antique mall booth spaces. That way, when the house seems full or needing something new (old), I generally can rotate stock. Win-win. 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity of the book, Rhoda.
I love finding and decorating with older pieces in my home . They add a cozy and different look. I mix them with a few newer pieces for my own individual style. I would love to win a copy of this book.
It’s fun to take something old and discarded and transform it into something beautiful again! It’s amazing how a bit of paint can bring new life into a piece of furniture! And, best of all, it’s a much more affordable way to add to my home decor.
That book looks wonderful!
I love the stories behind all the items. I would love to have a copy of this book.
I love the hunt the most and the story behind where and how I found the most when decorating with vintage pieces!! Thanks for the give-away!
Nothing is more fun than finding that ‘just perfect’ something at a great flea market. Even better- scoring your find before everyone else wants one!
I love decorating with Vintage Finds, epically family finds for the Memories.
They go with everything and they have a story to tell.
I love the memories each piece might hold.
Decorating with vintage things makes my home more warm & inviting. Each piece has a history and a story to tell!
What I like is that I have touches of my family history sprinkled throughout my home, which then can spark interesting conversation! Family treasures can also be passed on to future generations.
I love the memories brought back by the older pieces. Usually a thought about my Mother or Mama comes back to me when I see vintage pieces in a home, and I love that my daughter incorporates some of my vintage family pieces in her home.
I love finding new ways to use old things and not what they are intended for. In a lot of cases the vintage items are better made and even cheaper than similar new items
I love to find items that my family had when I was little. It brings back wonderful memories. Also, there are a lot of the old items I like much better than the ones offered today.
I love finding pieces that I can’t live without! And I have learned to purchase those pieces that “speak” to me, because SO many times I have left the sale and thought about that piece non-stop only to find it was sold after I left.
I love decorating with unique items used in unexpected ways. Love items that are not perfect, but handled with love through the years and show it. I also love mixing these items all together with other found and new items.
I love to imagine the story behind each piece 🙂
