Step right up!
Had the opportunity to go to a sale at the home of some circus fans this weekend. Found a number of great finds (including a satin trimmed crinoline I'm tempted to wear as a skirt at the DC Big Flea!) Also lots of trading stamps, patterns, ephemera galore for paper packs and these fabulous circus tickets. Enjoy! www.thepaperfleamarket.com

DC Big Flea March 5 & 6
The Paper Flea Market will be at the DC Big Flea March 5 & 6! The DC Big Flea is located at the Dulles Expo and Convention Center in Chantilly, Virginia. We will be sharing a large booth this time: Booths #160 & 161 SOUTH. I had such fun at my first big "booth" show in January, so I'm excited to do this again.
In addition to the sort of merchandise you'll find on the store site, I'm bringing larger items that I've collected that are just too cumbersome or expensive to try to ship so I've never offered them online. If you're in the area, please stop by and introduce yourself! For directions, just click here http://www.damorepromotions.com/Chantilly/chantilly.htm (I haven't received info about discounted admission yet, but if and when I do, I'll be sure to pass it along)

Celebrating NY Fashion Week
You may or may not be aware that NY Fashion Week is winding down today, so I thought it would be appropriate to post more French fashion sketches. I never grow tired of these! http://www.thepaperfleamarket.com/french-fashion-sketches.html

A sign of spring?
Yesterday I saw a few daffodil leaves poking thru the dirt! In the spirit of that early sign of spring, I posted an oversized garden book from 1943. http://www.thepaperfleamarket.com/garden-book.html
I spent some time trying to set up a Facebook account today, but after about an hour and a half of frustration, I just deactived the whole thing ... if you received an invitation to "friend" me or whatever it's called, please accept my apologies. Technology gets me all flummoxed ... guess that's why I like old stuff so much!

Sending a little love your way...
Between just getting back in town and helping cover the shoebox for school Valentines (didn't you just *love* doing that as a kid?) and baking cookies for the class party and helping at the party ... I didn't get around to posting til now, 9:30 at night on Valentine's Day! I wanted to share a sweet deal with my blog readers ... 14% off all orders thru midnight on Feb 14th. But seeing as it's so late in the day, I'm going to extend that offer til midnight on Tuesday, Feb 15th! Just use coupon code "sweeten" to get your discount.
And, by the way, The Paper Flea Market "hearts" you!
