I always get asked WHERE do you find the treasures? This past weekend I drove 2.5 hours to my Airbnb (closest & best spot I could find) to get up at the crack of dawn and drive 1 hour in the rain to the flea market. I fueled up myself with a delicious croissant and coffee, visited all of the dealers inside (out of the rain) and outside (in the rain) that braved the weather. Then comes the unloading, unpacking, sorting and cleaning. So much cleaning - still left to do ironing. Then comes pricing and packing to unpack and setup Randolph Street Market THIS WEEKEND. For the Provence & Vienna trip I brought back 3 suitcases stuffed with treasures. All of that also requires packing, unpacking and cleaning. So to answer the question, I hunt treasure everywhere by car and by plane. Come see me this weekend and discover all the amazing treasure I sought out between the May show and now.

Excited to announce I WILL be Randolph Street Market September 26 & 27! I brought back 3 suitcases stuffed to the brim with amazing vintage and antique finds from Provence and Vienna. I walked an average of 10+ miles a day, spent countless hours at flea markets and antique shows. So excited to share these special items with YOU. Find me in the PARKING LOT, I’ll post setup photos and packing photos as I go. See you soon.

And I’m home ❤️ actually I’ve been here almost a week. Other than walking miles every day and using the tram, subway, train and bus, oggling all the amazing architecture and eating all the delicious food I’ve been picking! 4 flea markets down, one more to go today. So many amazing treasures, trying to stick with what I can conceivably pack on a suitcase (or two). Also tourist type things to do this upcoming week. This truly is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. 🇦🇹

Another day, another brocante trip. The first market was overrun by tourists (Hi USA dealer, I see you and your Hulken- best bags ever, mine is with me too). Just like my formerly favorite Paris flea market, prices were inflated on a lot of items, merci, desole being my favorite go to phrase. The second one was NOT worth the drive other than being on the way home and the location had me more excited than the nothing I found to buy. Gorgeous old building adjacent to, unfortunately I was too hot and too tired to investigate other than some quick photos. Back to L’Isle, a brief respite in the air conditioning and one last walk through the antique market. Glad I went, I broke my rule of NOT buying more linens because they are absolutely gorgeous and I would have agonized endlessly about NOT buying them. The dealer at L’isle who specializes in linens is my hero, every piece is pristine and measurements are on the tags so you know what you’re buying. And as I get asked a LOT how I get things home - as well packed as possible and stress and anxiety until I get home with it. I have paid a ridiculous amount of money on excess baggage fees already prepping for my flight tomorrow. Hoping the items my friend is bringing with for me to sell 🎙𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐊-𝐀-𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 do sell so I can shove some “excess” return baggage in that bag. Excited to get home and share the treasures with you. Pictures are of purchased items as well as items from the brocantes - creepy dolls anyone?

I’m back in Provence! ❤️ It’s the L’isle sur la Sorgue antique fair. Spent Friday morning at the fair, Saturday I took a long drive to attend a different brocante in another town which was magical. So many wonderful treasures. I can’t wait to share them with you Randolph Street Market in September, Vin Des Mart and Nanni's Antiques when I get back. Also… WHATNOT! Say what?! Yes, I will start selling there as well. Stay tuned. Heading out to a different brocante (or two) this morning, then back to L’isle for the Sunday market. Tomorrow it’s off to Vienna and more flea market hunting.

Hi, it’s me. In my happy place out hunting treasure. I was not at Randolph this past weekend, the fear of unbearable heat kept from committing to setting up outside. I will be back in September. Other than hunting treasure near and wide I’ve been working on organizing my studio to host private shopping events and get ready for What Not because yes, I’m not busy enough. Until then I’ll try to be better about sharing my finds like these incredible old wood saw horses and this incredible rust and crusty blue cabinet. I have plans for it just no space in any booth for it yet so come shop Vin Des Mart Nanni's Antiques and Chesterton, IN. Making my trek to Indiana this Sunday and I’ll be working at Vintage Design Mart Saturday 11-7, come say hi! Also dm me for a private shopping appointment.

Emptied my garage of all the vintage patio furniture I’ve been collecting over the last year. Ready to be picked up and enjoyed for barbecues, porch sitting or lazy reading afternoons. I didn’t repaint them - you can do so with your vision. Amazing true vintage metal chairs from the 1930’s to MCM. Come visit Nanni's Antiques just iff the highway in beautiful Michigan City. Make a day of it with an out stop at the 1933’s World’s Fair houses.
