Paris Flea Market

The Paris Flea Market.  Why would anyone NOT want to go there?  Paris is a place of beauty and mystery.  At least that's what I hear because due to things such as bills, children, etc., etc., I have yet to see this marvelous place.  For now I am forced to attend merely through the world of photos, movies, and my own imagination.  Some of these photos, thanks to the world wide web, are fascinating by themselves.  I have decided to share some of them with you! 

I chose to start with this photo because it seemed to say - "Welcome".

I would not only love to have this piece of drawer-laden furniture but would love to pilfer through it as well!

At first glance I didn't know what these were, but found out that they are vintage cheese labels!

I know there are many treasures to be found in this place!

That huge clock is so beautiful, but I don't think it would fit in my cabinet with the rest of my vintage clocks!

I don't even know what some of these items are, but I would love to dig in and find out!

For some reason, I have a big affection for baskets and I NEED THAT SIGN!!!!

This makes my heart go pitter-patter.  I would love to spend hours scouring displays like this.

One of these days, I will make it to the Paris Flea Market(s).  I am hoping that it will be a GIRL'S ONLY trip!  I can hear the laughter and smell the coffee now!  Until next time . . .

Nuthin' But Cornbread

One Wednesday evening at church, years ago,  Pastor got up to the pulpit and announced that he had prayed for a sermon, but had simply not received any instruction for a message.  His next words shocked us and made us laugh at the same time.  He simply stated that all he had for us was a recipe for cornbread - yes, you read that right.  So - he proceeded to read the recipe for cornbread and when he was finished, we prayed and he dismissed the congregation.

Today is one of those days for me.  So, since I am experiencing creative writer's block, I am going to post an interesting video tutorial that I found.  Watch this cute lady demonstrate with her quirky style how to make a very large distressed mirror from old fence pickets, some chalk paint, and wax.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  Amen - you are dismissed!
