Lost in Arles...








A few weeks back I was feeling a little out of sorts.. a little lost at the beginning of the year, it always seems like a time when you should be overly motivated, ready to run out of the gates and get some things really taken care of, make changes and plan for the year ahead.  Well, I was in a total funk and kinda bummed out.  On a Sunday morning I had a chance to take a little time to myself and was wandering around in the land of the blogs, I came across Lost in Arles a blog written by Heather,  I spent well over an hour reading her posts and looking through her beautiful photos.   I finally felt like myself, I felt inspired and awake for the first time in what seemed like a month (the holidays really took a lot out of me this year).  I am ready to go, ready to be inspired, ready to travel and ready to take on the challenges of the year ahead.   Maybe I will visit France in the Fall this year, I know I will be working on stream lining my time and energy into projects that I really want and need to do, and maybe just maybe I will be taking a few more leaps of faith this year.

I wanted to thank Heather and thank all of the bloggers that take their time posting so many fantastic images and inspiration!

Vintage Urns






I have this deep love for vintage urns, I was browsing through the new container images from the boys at Atelier de Campagne and I am loving all of these..  Pairs of them make my heart skip a beat! 

Can you imagine them flanking a door or on the mantle?  Just so perfect to add that little bit of something with some great live plants added in.

this week I am loving..





It is funny there are some weeks when inspiration eludes me and then there are some where it is everywhere and I cannot keep it straight!  I am absolutely loving everything here!  I love vintage chairs and their time worn look, the lovely layers of grey from Atelier de Campagne, and Lauren at Pure Style Home's new textile line.  
Do you ever find too much inspiration?  I like to take mine and store it away for a day when I am feeling a little out of sorts and use it to get me back on track!

Rose Bowl Flea Market...




So we hit the Rosebowl flea market on Sunday morning, it was a beautiful day thank goodness!  I have been really happy with this flea market so far, it is full of great vendors and fantastic pieces!  I completely fell in love with these giant vintage posters and art pieces.  Each piece is mounted on a larger canvas for easy framing and storage.  I so wanted the Louis Vuitton piece but is a little bold for me.  I would be happy to point you in the direction of this vendor if only he had had a card for me.  He is at the Rosebowl for every show unless it is raining on the isle against the fence near the entry.





Some amazing stadium lighting just in case you needed some!  The boat too- there are some really interesting pieces to be found here.






I always love the vintage trophies and coral such a fun combination!





This vendor used some of our Lanet fabric for upholstery.  So so cute I thought!





Irons and Duck so fantastic as always!





I was so excited to see Robert again.  It has been months since I have bought any of his vintage textiles.  I got some great pieces!!  I love them for upholstery and pillows.  There are some vintage pieces that I bought that I would love to reproduce (if anyone has any info on having your own fabric made I would love it).





Fred was there from Grenouille,  I picked up this vintage ledger from him!  I cannot wait to frame it up for the wall!






 Of course there were some beautiful vintage clothing pieces, I just have not given into this idea yet.  My sister says I am crazy!



 I did get this super cute little hat though.  Fun and great for a little shade on my nose!!





We were completely taken by the pieces in Mark from Create a Vision Antiques.  My sister bought one of his converted lights for her living room.  Which looked so very cool when we put it in!  I am wishing I had one too!








My Bags were so full and so heavy!  I was ready to head out before we even walked the entire show.



We did not find any dining chairs for my sister but we did get her a fantastic little curved back settee, I cannot wait to see it reupholstered and in her space.  

I hope you are having a wonderful Monday so far!!
