We spent the better part of the morning at the Rose bowl flea market yesterday. It was a little chilly in the morning but turned into a beautiful day. It was one of those days where you leave with your wallet empty and your car loaded to the brim. There were so many fantastic things.. I will share my ultimate amazing super fantastic buy with you tomorrow....
But I still love the vintage mix industrial lamps, fantastic European imports from the boys at
Atelier de Campagne, some really great styling by
Big Daddy's as well as a large assortment of other great vendors. These are the days when I wish I had a shop to place all of these fantastic pieces in so that I could share them with everyone for real.
Happy Monday!

My Sweet new friend Jeni has opened up the possibility of visiting Paris to me in the Spring. Time full of shopping and adventuring around the city that I love so much! I am so excited by the possibilities!

A bad house fire destroyed a very old cottage on a nearby estate a couple of years ago. Everyone is in love with this new replacement. The standing seam metal roof is nice. There is a garage to the left but there was a car in the driveway that I didn't want in my photograph. It's bigger than it looks. One day I'll snap a side view.

Now you know this is so much better than going to the mall, right? There is a complex of small cottage shops nearby painted in off the wall colors.

I've been meaning to stop and photograph them and today I did!

Quelques nouveautés chez moi... Certaines ont été ramenées de Stockholm, d'autres chinées ou trouvées en ligne. D'ailleurs, le meilleur moment de mon tour shopping à Stockholm était définitivement la visite de
la boutique de Lotta Agaton, où je suis allée avec quelques unes de mes chouettes copines bloggeuses suédoises après le salon Formex. C'est simple, j'ai TOUT aimé dans la boutique de Lotta :)
A few new things at home... Some of them brought back from Stockholm, others thrifted or found online. By the way, the highlight of my shopping tour in Stockholm was definitely Lotta Agaton's shop, which I visited with some of my sweet Swedish blogfriends after the Formex fair. It's simple, I loved EVERYTHING in Lotta's shop :)Photo La Maison d'Anna G.
Les tasses avec la typographie d'Arne Jacobsen, la main en bois et le pot de fleur noir viennent tous de
la boutique de Lotta Agaton à Stockholm, la théière en fonte a été chinée en France, le plateau vient de
Svenskt Tenn à Stockholm, les poupées russes noires de
Muji à Paris, et le print Stockholm a été commandé en ligne chez
Localgraphics.
The mugs with Arne Jacobsen's typography, the wooden hand and the black flower pot all come from Lotta Agaton's shop in Stockholm, the cast iron teapot was thrifted in France, the tray comes from Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm, the black Russian dolls from Muji in Paris, and the Stockholm print was ordered online from Localgraphics.

We headed up to LA for a quick day at the Mart last weekend and found a lot of fun goodies! I feel in love with the new lamps from Jamie Young. The glass pieces are amazing! I want the lamps in the first picture, I just love the color and texture..
Eloquence is always one of my favorites and they had a new larger showroom which was so nice to see everything together. (note: my Vespa is still available)
We headed upstairs to Bassman Blaine a great way to see some of my favorite lines in one place. That art is perfect for a job I am working on! This is just a little peek. I know it is not the same as going to New York or Atlanta (they are on my list for later this year) but it still does inspire!

Happy Monday, all! I've learned that being snowed in can become a very dangerous thing. Besides the whole you-might-run-out-of-food thing, you can really get sucked into none other than: Online Shopping!So what did I find this past snow week when I spent way too many hours online? Here you go!
Nordstrom:A cute little sweater dress...Hot pink pants? Yes, please.Dress perfection...
J. Crew:Coral blouse...Adorable flats...
West Elm:Valentine's Day Bowls...
Fun new lighting...
Curtains...
Ikat Rug...
***And then guess what?!I didn't purchase a single thing. My wallet started singing praises. {My mom probably did, too}But great finds, right?! Okay, I'll be honest...I went to Nordstrom on Saturday which was amazingggg, and did purchase a cozy red striped sweater. This purchase was completely justifiable, though, because I had a gift card. That's like not even really buying something., right?
That's what I thought :) Back tomorrow with a fun little DIY!Have a great day!Love,
