New Market: Here Comes the Sun!

With summer officially starting this week we are excited to launch our newest (online) market Here Comes the Sun - a summer-themed exhibition featuring the most amazing summery things we could find online.  This is our 4th year into our summer markets, and our 6th year blogging and we keep finding new and amazing artists and work to showcase!  Click here to visit, the market is updated with fresh things during the entire month long showcase (running June 20th - July 15th/11)!

In with the old, out with the new !

Since I spent the first half of my day hunting for bargains at my favorite outdoor antique market,  I felt compelled to showcase how spectacular vintage items can be in our homes. Antiques not only bring a sense of history to your space, they also add character and an eclectic sense of style.  Most of us do our rounds at big box stores such as HomesSense, Target and Ikea but there's something very special about purchasing an item that is a one of.  In my mind, antique doesn't mean expensive, it means unique. Vintage pieces can be found at garage sales, flea markets, second-hand shops or even in your grand-mother's attic. With that said, don't be afraid to get creative, you really can't go wrong!

I love what designer Siobhan Harrison of Blanche Dlys Designs has done upcycling these vintage trunks and hangers. By collecting old magazines and comics, Siobhan decoupages unique collages on the hangers and in the interiors of the trunks while painting the outside with blackboard paint as an example creating unique pieces inspired by the world around her. Available through Not on the High Street (out of the UK).
