The excitement builds.....

We've printed large posters of the current FLEA MARKET STYLE magazine issue - they'll be hanging above our 'petite shop' at JUNK BONANZA~

JUNK BONANZA is just a week away  -  what is the excitement all about?  

We'll see junking friends for several days in a row, and reconnect with those of you we've met through JUNK BONANZA, and only see 1-2 times a year.

We'll experience great old stuff at its best! 

The anticipated energy already gives me goosebumps.  

We'll return fresh and full of inspiration.

Our newest shop card, ready to share with everyone here and there.

ooh and ah and staying on task

South wall, apartment kitchen

 FLEA MARKET STYLE'S Kim Yeager (writer: 'Foreign Accent', -my apartment- Fall issue) asked for photos, generously offering to blog the 'pre-FMS' happenings around the apartment.  Off and on for weeks, I've been weeding through photos, trying to decide what to send, and not all 250!  She patiently waits while I over-think this stuff.  Do you take too many photos, as I do?

I was flattered when Ki Nassauer spotted this blue - it's in every room of the apartment.  You'll see it on every page of the story, a mix of Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint blues. As I'm perusing the photos, what's taking so much time is stopping to look and oh, look at that, I forgot how I loved this, and oh, I should....

You really do have to see more of my home.  I'd love that.

Erika Pirness of Portrait Lane took this photo, the one below, and the lantern/mirror above.  They're not in the magazine, and are 'pre-FMS' magazine photo shoot.

Anxious for you to see more!  The magazine will be for sale in the shop and on newsstands soon.  

I'll connect Kim Yeager's FLEA MARKET STYLE blogpost right here when the time comes.  ~TERESA

The reveal: FLEA MARKET STYLE magazine

FLEA MARKET STYLE Fall 2014

It's been the best experience, and it's really just begun - because now I can share it with you.  I make my home on the third floor of this great old 1902 brick building - and Ki Nassauer has it here - for you - inside this issue. 

I'll get a sneak peek for you soon.
