This past weekend my lovely sister-in-law Emily (of the beautiful & budding blog A Lasting First Impression) and I went to the No.123 Flea right here in Kirkland WA, and I found this lovely lady who I thought would be a nice companion for George, especially since she looks like a very young Martha.
Don't they look nice together? For now, this is where she'll stay...I think they'll get along just fine and most importantly, Jane approves of her immensely.
I also purchased another amazing piece of antiquity but I'll save that for another post as I'm trying to figure out a temporary use for it.A highlight of the flea...which was wonderful and loaded with unique and tastefully arranged treasures, was that we got to meet Melaine from My Sweet Savannah. She had a space there that was extremely creative and whimsical...she's done a post about it and her pictures show it all beautifully.
I haven't really purchased anything other than "house parts" for the last four years and even though we're still in a bit of a limbo state and not ready to go all out with decor...it was so fun to purchase a couple of items that I know will be part of the "family" for years to come.

You will never regret purchasing things that you love, and pieces with soul. You will find that when you finally put your imaginary house together, that everything works perfectly. You are on the right path. I am always so sad about family portraits that have drifted away from their decedents. However, the Indians were right, we never really own anything.
Best,

I'm so jealous of all the flea markets in your corner of the world! that little portrait is the best...
