What is this thing?

I don’t know what this thing is. I love it though. It’s intriguing. It’s walking that line between display and organization.

Two tiers of these sections are removable.

Jewelry Organizer from The Davis Flea

Posted on September 1, 2012September 1, 2012 by lisaflorence

Shopping at The Davis Flea, I found this practical beauty from the I Want A Pony booth. Jen Kniff, a Flea founder, was kind enough to snap my pic. This piece, is not only homemade, it’s an upcycle by a local crafts woman! Pretty important Shiz, right?

Nicely coordinates with my “vintage” paneling.

Added some string ties to the rails, just to have more places to hang. More I Want A Pony finds on Etsy.

Organizing with Springs

It’s Sunday! A gorgeous-blue-skied non-90-degree Sunday. I went to The Davis Flea again. Ed Quinn, Renewed Home has rapidly become one of my favorite dealers. He picked up all sorts of cool stuff at Brimfield this week. Among the batch, springs! I never knew I needed or wanted springs. Ed knew. These things are great. Hold pens, letters, notes . . . a kitchen utensil as you cook. Get a branch and some clothes pins, make a crazy message center. Or, just leave them sitting around. They’re pretty engaging.

Next stop, brunch at M3.

Entryway shelf & mail caddy

I did it! It’s July and I finally hung the shelf from the gorgeous piece of lumber I bought at Rockler back in October. Getting stuff done.

Then, just yesterday, I found this handy caddy at the Davis Flea. Well sized for the shelf. Perfectly sized for holding the daily mail.

Salt’n’Peppa here . . . Yeah, I dunno. They were cute and on sale at Anthropologie.

The Davis Flea. It’s how I got my shopping back!

After weeks of not posting I’m finally moved to shop again. (I guess I’ve just been loving my new job that much, so back off retail therapy). Premier The Davis Flea last Sunday and with a pocket of cash, there I am. This Sunday I return with a camera. Are you near Somerville? Check it out. It’s very cool. It’s well curated so the ratio of cool stuff is quite high. It brings the discovery of the rural fleas to the urban realm. Convenient. Alluring. Brilliant idea! Glad it’s here. Hope it stays.
