When I was digging through my box of old clippings to find the photo of the dressing table , I found a bunch of beautiful pictures from magazines. Most aren't as old as the photo that inspired the dressing table, which was very 80s (I should show you the picture on the reverse side of the magazine page sometime!). These are mostly from the 90s-early 2000s. In any case, I thought that I'd share a few in this weeks (very late) Inspiration Friday.
I covet that oval tray or painting in the photo above. If I had it, it would be a prized possession. It would hold a place of honor. How else can I wax poetic about that oval tray?
Speaking of rose paintings, look at this collection...Swoon!....
I just realized that both of the top 2 photos are from the same home...lucky lady....
And last, this beautiful & cosy bed. I'd probably put a yard long painting of roses or something more vintage-y above the bed, but I love the pillows & the quilt. Couldn't you just sink into this?

So, what are you up to this weekend? I'm going to the monthly flea market (held in a parking garage!) tomorrow morning. I've convinced Glenn to accompany me, luring him with promises of a visit to his favorite coffee shop afterwords. He was away most of the week on business--in Minneapolis--I tried to convince him to take me along so that I could meet my blogging friends Martha & Allie, but it was no-can-do. I kind of had to show up at my job anyway. In any case, I missed him, so I'm trying to find ways to spend as much time with him as possible while still fitting in my antiquing! :)
Hi,
Love the pictures,especially that cozy bed.
Have fun at the flea market. I am going to the Ventura flea market on Sunday. It's the one by the ocean.
Your husband sounds nice like mine.
Hope you find lots of great treasures.
Rosemary

I especially love the bed, and the quilt on the end of it! I have been looking for a quilt just like that! It's such a good idea to have inspiration Friday!! Have fun tomorrow!

Hi again Kim- I forgot to ask how many hours behind us you are in the States- I know the time difference depends on where you live! Allison is 6 hours behind in MN, is that the same for you?

Oh gosh, a trip to Minneapolis and you weren't with him!!! So close and yet so far. That would have been soooo fun. If ever there is another opportunity I sure hope you can go with him. I do love that wonderful bed and that quilt - yum. And the paintings are all very pretty, especially the way she has them all around the fireplace - very nice. Thanks for the ongoing inspiration!

The parking garage flea - would that be the one by Washington and Lee High School in Arlington, VA?
We lived in Arlington, then for 30-plus years in Loudoun County and I went to that flea once in awhle. Last one for this year, if that is the one. Parking garages are COLD, aren't they? Sold there one time on the top level. . .
