WHITE WEDNESDAY~JUDY JUDY JUDY

Okay all you White Wednesday fans, hold on to your hats... It's the one and only Judy Hill... Judy Hill always puts together a phenomenal booth at Marburger... I love her style... I love how she mixes rustic and funky with drop~dead gorgeous... I just plain love her... Click HERE to see her blog.

The Home and Store Connection

It seems to follow that stores I frequent most often are owned by people whose houses I also admire. Such is the case of Christi Tacy and her wonderful store Genevieve's Home and Garden. Christi's front porch (shown above) and bathroom (shown below) were featured last year in Better Homes and Gardens special interest publications, Do it Yourself and Bath Makeovers, respectively. Perhaps the reason I love her home and store is that both feature a wonderful mix of old and new.

It is hard to believe but this bathroom in Christi's 165 year old home was once purple with a pansy wall paper border.

Many of the items seen in these pictures are from Christi's store.

Next month, November 6th beginning at 5 pm, Genevieve's will hold it's annual open house to start off the holiday season. Christi has graciously agreed to allow me to photograph and cover the event. If you are unable to attend, look for pictures here in mid-November.

Friends and Family

So it isn't all about the antiques at the Texas shows ya'll...It's a little slice of time when we get to see our dear friends and even make some new ones...

Pearl...

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I adore the clothing from Magnolia Pearl. I do believe that the pieces Robin designed for the Fall show were my favs to date. I went to the show with a budget in mind to spend on new pieces, and well let's just say that plan had to be abandoned... The pantaloons with the old-fashioned trap door are to die for, and I love love the pieces I got in the gorgeous shade of chocolate brown. I will live in these pieces for sure.

As always their booth was jaw-dropping... Details like you've never seen... And Robin and John? The sweetest, most genuine people you will ever meet...

Love you both...

Pillow Talk

One of my favorite things to bring to the Marburger show this time was a fab selection of burlap pillow slipcovers from Petit Coterie. Michelle does fabulous work and the pillows were a hot item. She also sells on etsy if you'd like to check her out. Thanks Michelle, you rock the burlap world...

Branching Out

So, in the past I have featured the booths of my peeps~~French Vanilla, TOT, and Judy Hill (more to come on her later), Magnolia Pearl (never fear, she's coming), and this time I wanted to show some of my other friends and show dealers who just always knock it out of the park.
