I’m a Flea Marketeer Party

October 19, 2009 at 9:00 am by Claudia


Today I am taking part in Flea Market Style’s “I’m a Flea Marketeer Party.” We’re all sharing favorite Flea Market finds. I have lots of favorites, but today I’m sharing my 2 tiered wrought iron basket that I found in San Diego. I got it for a song and it is proving to be very versatile.

It sits in the center of our kitchen table. I love the lines of it so much that it is usually unadorned. But I am enjoying the opportunity to adorn it for the season!



This is one of my favorite finds. Join everyone at the party!

    I can see why that is one of your favorite pieces…I love the chippy paint and the rust and also how versatile it can be for decorating.

    That looks fabulous, Claudia! I just love the orange against the distressed white… And I’m always peeking ‘beyond’ the focal point, so I am also in love with your oversized windows… That must be such a bright, cheerful room! I’ll bet you spend lots of time in it throughout the winter months!… Donna

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
