Flea Market Finds with Matthew Mead

I just got my e-preview of the new Matthew Mead “book-a-zine”, Flea Market Finds.  I can’t wait to hold it in my hands and thumb through the pages.  The cover stole my heart right away and when you see it, you’ll know why.  Anyway, the interior is packed with great ideas, inexpensive makeovers, beautiful spaces, color inspiration and more.

I’ve admired Matthew’s style for a long time and was honored when I was asked to be a part of the this issue.  You’ll see me sharing one of my favorite finds.  (Give you two guesses what it is…)  When the issue comes out I’ll share the story behind the picture of me in the issue.  It’s pretty funny.  The magazine will be available on Amazon in April and I’ll host a giveaway for one here in a couple of weeks.

Keep an eye on the Holiday with Matthew Mead website for an Anthropolgie gift card giveaway and a sneak peek You Tube video about Flea Market Finds.

The winner of the ASCP Prize Package is Becky from Beyond the Picket Fence and the winner of the ticket to the ASCP Leesburg, VA Workshop is Kira McMillan!  Congratulations to both of you!

telling stories

I’ve been telling stories here on this blog since 2009, but they’ve mostly been stories about furniture, about my business, my work, and my creative endeavors.  About refinishing floors as a novice, about my first magazine feature, about the exciting firsts for my business that unfolded as I shared online.
