The Bluebells are only out briefly in the spring, and I got to see them for the first time....they are blankets of purple blue in fields that are amazingly everywhere!

Here in Round Top Texas on a normal day there is a whopping population of 77 people, but during flea market season it explodes to over 100,000. It is incredible. Stalls and Tents set up in fields running between one small town to another.

The displays were inspiring and the creative juices were certainly flowing .There were so many beautiful items for sale, I wish I had a semi to drag it all home. The cream on cream trend was still going strong, however, I must say, the rumblings from the customers were , they want color in their world, its beautiful to look at in a display, but add a punch of color....ANY color. To live in a monochromatic world seems soooooo sterile and dare I say it??? okay.....Boring!
Picture an all cream/grey room then pick your favorite color....say it's purple. Fade the color to a pastel, add grey, and "Viola" it becomes a focal point....but remains subtle and can still be a washed out version of color. Especially the folks "like me" who live in a snow covered blanket all winter...I dont want to see the same thing inside, outside, etc etc...
SOOOOoooooo. Here are some inspiring vignettes and fun bits that were in my travels at Market...Enjoy......
