Happy May Day to all...
...and Happy Birthday to my daughter Kate on her 24th birthday!
...(old apothecary bottle from the thrift store last week)
Kate is celebrating with friends in NYC this evening...
She is much more of an adventurer than her mother...
...and is writing her own story.
We are very proud of her.
Today was beautiful and warm ....an exhausting but fun day!
Mr. Flea took me to a church sale early this morning and then to the sale at the school across the street. We had a lot of fun, met up with friends and all found things to take home with us.
I found some interesting things and will share pictures later on this week.
Tomorrow, I hope to visit my regular weekly market...
...The quilted fabric below was found there a few weeks ago...
I love the browns and reds together. I think that it is fairly old but I am not an expert at old fabrics. Maybe you can tell me more about it?
I hope you are enjoying your weekend...
...the weather here in the East is spectacular!
:)

I hope your daughter has a wonderful birthday!
May 1st, is my Grandmother's birthday ...I'm not sure just how old she would have been but, her daughter, my mother is 92 and somewhere in the middle of ten children, so it would have to be more than 120 years at the very least...goodness!
Happy Birthday, Kate! Laura, that fabric is stunning...a fabulous find!!
Happy Birthday to Kate! 24 is a great age. May her adventures always bring joy,

The fabric when it's enlarged looks like barkcloth with pleats? Sewn in strips?
Happy birthday to your daughter! I hope it was wonderful for her!!
Madame Flee,
That crown silhouette is AWESOME, of course so is your old french manuscript. Where do you find such amazing things? Happy birthday to your daughter on her 24th birthday. Hope that your May Day was full of flowery goodness.
I hope your daughter had a safe and happy birthday. I saw there was some trouble in Times Square and hope she was not affected...
the fabric is lovely. I must find some new places to flea as I think I have everything good from the local area..;p Enjoy your Sunday.
Happy birthday to her and her mom !!
Hugs from Ria
Gelukkige verjaardag aan u beiden !!!!! U kunt trots op jezelf zijn, ze is in staat om haar eigen verhaal te maken!!

Please give Kate a big Happy Birthday wish from me! If she is anything like her mama, she must be one special gal.
I do so love the colors in that fabric, I am not a big fan of red but it does look wonderful mixed with all the browns and pinks, it is a wonderful find!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!!!!!!

Happy birthday to your lovely Kate. I remember being 24 and arriving by myself in that wonderful city that is Paris... A fabulous age!!
But you didn't tell us - did you buy as much as you gave away the day before? ;-)

I would have fought with you for the iron crown, the papers and the typographie...so, so cool.

Magnifique cette couronne!!!
