Flea Market Style

Flea Market Style 2011
Let me say, I rarely ever will spend $10.00 on a magazine.
~HOWEVER~
The other day while I was waiting on my Pharmacist to fill a prescription I flipped through the magazine. Oh My Gosh! This is an awesome find!
I had to buy! I'm not sure I will actually ever do these projects and or buy these items, but I want to!
How cool is this? What a brilliant idea! Especially for a boys room.
This article was on the coolest house. They had some really great collection pieces. I absolutely LOVE the side table! It is an old washing machine tub insert with a glass tabletop! So clever!  And, you know how I love bowls & jars full of collections. The antique cue balls are a great pop of color. This, I can see myself doing.
Check out this "How to" on transforming shirts into crafty items! The next page gave a great project transforming a shirt to a wine gift bag. Another into a lampshade. There are simple instructions and they look great.
Look at these Ball Flowers! Aren't they cool?
I also loved this ideal of transforming vintage rulers into re-purposed items. I would like to try making a frame with some. I remember these being given away from salesmen with logos of their employment. Especially remember Hardware stores, Realtors, and politicians.
This is my favorite! (The reason I bought the magazine).  Isn't this amazing???
 It is made almost completely of this woman's Flea Market finds. She envisioned it and started collected pieces to be included in it for years. Her Husband, Father, and two Sons built it for her as a Mother's Day gift. 
Oh My!  Tooooooooo Coooooool!
I want my Hubby to make this for me!

Real Simple


Do you read it? I do.
I love this magazine. It has it all. Or at least all I am looking for in a magazine. It has the best tips on everything from best deals to best menu ideals and recipes. It has solutions New uses for old things. It has a monthly "Road Test" where they compare a product and help you decide which is best for your needs. There are the products of the month and fabulous articles on things I am actually interested in! I have subscribed for a few years. It is the one that I just can not give up.I get excited when I see it in the mailbox! It is one of those mags you can read for days. My keeping every issue days are over but I have a hard time parting with them. I like to give them away to friends. I also enjoy leaving them at the doctor's office (to replace the 3 year old People magazines!) If you have not had a chance to read one of these, pick one up. Or go to realsimple.com
What's your favorite magazine?
