Did We Mention We Got A Mention?

Have you ever taken a slow-moving train and marveled at the sights sliding by? That, and knowing what's important seems to be the philosophy for a life well spent according to Annie at Scenes From A Slowmoving Train. She and her pal Elaine hit the road to come see us in March, and then she was kind enough to blog all about it!



She took lots of photos of small bright spots all around the store

and when they had shopped to their hearts content,


they headed to downtown Livermore to make a few more discoveries.
To look at her travel-filled, everyday discovery, thought-provoking blog, we have a feeling she would have hopped a train, drove a car or peddled in on a bicycle if she had to, just to have an adventure! Thanks, Annie!

The very clever (and incredible busy mom of two phew-stinky boys) Kerstie Pederson came shopping and was kind enough to blog a tour of Paris Flea Market last month!

She roamed from room to room with camera in hand and snapped away at everything that caught her eye. Here are just a few pictures to whet your whistle--you'll have to head over to her self-titled blog, Kerstie Pederson, to see the rest (plus lots of highly recommended popsicle recipes just right for the last hot days of the season!).





She didn't just come for the fun of looking at all the re-loved furniture, vintage clothes and one-of-a-kind goodies, though. She was on a mission of sorts and with our help, was able to complete it.


See that darling white, cottage coffee table? It went home with her!

What will you go home with from our September 8, 9, 10 & 11th opening? Let us know if you blog it!

You can never hear too much of a good thing! That's why we were so happy to be featured on Marsha's Musings. The very sassy and talented Marsha Mees (who makes fabulous, we mean FABULOUS, mini dolls) came by to see us last month at the store and we're pretty sure she'll be back again this month (June 2, 3, 4 &5) because she is only has one setting: GO!



She gives her blog readers quite an animated tour of her shopping experience with us. And look at just some of the loot she packed up in a purchased vintage suitcase and went home with:

That girl is a fan of our vintage fans and she almost blew a bulb when she caught sight of a gorgeous chandy hanging from our ceiling. We were this close to taking a sip from a bottle labeled "Drink me" when we saw her Parisian mini room. It'll make you wish you were small in a big way! Make sure you check out her sidebar for lots of DIY inspiration too!

Thanks, Marsha for the shout out--you are one DOLL yourself!

We are ecstatic to have been mentioned on this cute blog about "Home, Garden, Design & Living". Starlet (We know; darling right?) over at Can You Come Home has what it takes to be a FLEA. Plunk a vintage hat on her head, and she fits right in!

She excitedly takes her blog readers by the hand as she narrates a little tour of our last month's sale at the store. No detail (from the ribbon trim on a vintage top to the crystal salt cellar) was missed as she heads upstairs to the Paris Cafe to make sure every one is well nourished with coffee and pastries as the tour begins!

She continues on through the rest of our rooms, snapping photos of a single chair, jewels strewn on an ornate mirror and a room full of eye candy, that turn into artful compositions with her creative eye.

The only thing that's missing is pictures of what she bought! We'll stay attentively tuned in to her blog and hope for more to come as she invites us in her home to show us her current decorating triumphs!!!

Our collective ears were burning during our November opening at Paris Flea Market, and now we know why! We were being touted by blogger Katie at Mommyhood And Marketing as she so graciously posted about why she was "blown away" on her visit to our shop! You can read about her experience and get a peek at what she bought HERE. Her blog is a chunky, delicious soup made with a little bit of everything from crafting to high power, creative business strategies, with a huge side serving of humor.

Thanks Katie! See you next month in "Paris"!

We're always thrilled to find out someone liked us so well they were inspired to blog about us!

Aileen drove all the way from Modesto to our Grand Opening earlier this month and invited her peeps to share in the shopping experience! Here they are doing the A-Leen pose!

She has a blog called "Aileen's Musings" and we were pleased she took the time to muse about Paris Flea Market! She and her pals had no idea that things would be so fabulously decorated and staged when they headed to our warehouse to see what they could see. They all (except one person) left with a shopping bag in hand, and headed to a fun lunch destination: Eddie Papa's (we'll have to try it) which they highly recommend. Thanks for visiting with us!

We also got a "thumbs-up" from a Room With A Past fan, Fenima, who is modeling her new earrings that she purchased at Paris Flea Market, while her patient husband waited in the car with sleeping kids!

Fenima has a blog called Vintage Therapy. Now that's a full-on lover of all things vintage! She is famous at our shop for having a huge smile and making sure she has an equally huge "Hello!" for everyone! We appreciate you coming and please thank your husband for us on being such a great chauffer! We know we'll see you soon!
