Något utöver det vanliga
Lägenhet på Strandvägen i Stockholm med underbar ljussättning och ett häftigt tornrum med inbyggd kuddhörna som verkligen är något ut över det vanliga. I vardagsrummet finns den coola soffan från Minotti som jag på den senaste tiden blivit otroligt förtjust i. Den här soffan är precis en sådan armstödslös sektions variant som jag skulle vilja ha i mitt eget vardagsrum om den bara inte varit så skrattretande dyr. Från reportaget 'Ljussatta Kontraster' i Sköna Hem, fotograf Åke E:son Lindman.
Grön oas i Limhamn
Köpte Sköna Hems extratidning 'Outdoor living' och fick syn på ett reportage från trädgårdsdesigner Anders Mårtenssons hem i Limhamn. På en yta på 330 kvm har han skapat sig och familjen en prunkande grön oas i asiatisk stil med mycket gröna växter som bambu och murgröna. Trädgården har ingen gräsmatta som behöver klippas och kräver minimal ogräsrensning. Hur fräckt som helst. Bilder från fotograf Sophia Callmer.
Junk Raffle to Benefit Baby Bella!
Are you ready for the fab blog raffle to benefit
our favorite Texas belle...Bella Marie?!
If not...get to it!
Bella's grandparents are my dear friends Deb & CD@Talkin' Trash, and Bella's mother is Jenn@The Apiary. Dear Bella (she's unpredictable...like her grandmother, no doubt!) decided to join the world a bit earlier than the doctor's might have wanted, but she's set on getting bigger and stronger as each day goes by. She wants to go junkin' with her Grandpa as soon as possible. I tell you...junking runs in the family!!! You can read more about Bella at either of the two links above.
The "Junk Sistas" blog raffle to benefit Bella is being hosted by Amy@Trailer Trash and Theresa@Garden Antqs Vintage! Read here to get the full scoop! Otherwise, plan on getting plenty of tickets! This is going to be so fun!! Tell your friends!
WHISPERWOOD COTTAGE DONATION
You may or may not know that I have a second blog called Junkologie that now features my junking finds, my new booth in Old Town Antiques in Duluth, MN, and any shows/events/flea markets that I do.
Well, just this past weekend, I was at an auction and came across these cute little vintage coasters featuring the great state of Texas! How perfect for this raffle to benefit our Texas rose named Bella!!
Now, you know I wouldn't leave you without an idea for these right? Of course not! What can you do with vintage coasters? Here's one idea here that was introduced in my Upcycling: Coaster into Holiday Ornament post last December. It's so easy!
Thanks to everyone who is donating and/or bidding!

Texas Antique Weekend: Fri., April 3, 2009, Part 2
My last day of Texas Antique Weekend ended like this...
I had time for one stop at the Excess Field in Warrenton. This is what drew me in...
And here's Clark Gauthier of Barn Boy Antiques. This is all his great stuff! He is out of Grand Island, Nebraska, but sets up here every year...right under the Excess sign. A MUST visit for any hardcore junker!!
THE OTHER SIDE OF WARRENTON
Beyond Excess and beyond Zapp Hall are a kazillion (yes, I counted!) more fab vendors. All you can see is tents, tents, tents.
JILL@JILLSUZANNE.COM
What can I say...her booth draws you in like a magnet!
And here she is...the beautiful Suzanne!...
Aren't her business cards beautiful?...
And here she is with her sweet cowboy husband...
She was wearing this amazing necklace...
Great idea for old sheet music...
Great Clark's spool storage piece...
Hat pins!!...
MYLISSA'S GARDEN ANTIQUES
I didn't see any flowers at Mylissa's booth, but here is what was growing! Holy moly, right? If you like smalls, you've got to experience Mylissa's place!
Mylissa (photo below) & her husband Dennis run this booth. They are out of Arkansas City, Kansas. If you can't find it at their booth, it probably doesn't exist!
A FEW MISCELLANEOUS SHOTS AT ROUND TOP
Well, that wraps up the final post of my trip to the Spring 2009 Texas Antique Weekend. I hope you enjoyed the tour! My recommendation? Get it on your calendar for next fall or next spring. The experience in person is such an adventure!
