I’m sitting here trying to figure out what I will be for Halloween. I was invited to two Halloween parties so far and its getting down to the wire! I know I want to wear something with pink in it ofcourse but I am so clueless at this point! Yall help me try to figure out what I can be and still wear my pank!
Speaking of Halloween, I’m loving Martha Stewarts look on her latest cover of Martha Stewart Living. She has a fab makeup artist! Go Martha! xoxo
Yesterday I had a blast hanging out with interior designer/reality star Eddie Ross. He has been on my site several times and he is in Atlanta this week for the gift show at America’s Mart. While here he had a tour of Scott’s Antiques Market on Sunday. I have been there before but I had camera drama and never posted the pics, so I went again yesterday lol.
Free fruit!

He had a nice crowd of people who came out and to learn how to shop for antiques and more. Eddie talked about great gifts you could give to people for weddings, like sterling silver to copper molds that could be engraved. I would have never thought to do that and it’s very personal and classy gift to give to a happy couple.
We also learned about canning chairs, reupholstering, antique books and how to glue them together and make book ends. We learned about hotel silver and how to collect them and use them for flower arrangements and buffets. We then learned about French ivory silverware and french knives. If you have chipped glasses but love them, there was a guy in the market that restored your glasses too.

Ok, so tonight I went to a private dinner party for Eddie Ross, my hottie new friend from the Top Design show on Bravo. Eddie Ross is an amazing designer,editor, antique shopping guru. Some how, some way the Gods from up above channeled him to find me and now he is my bestie!

This gorg event was held at a chic lil place called, JCT Kitchen located in downtown Atlanta. There were about 15 guest that I got to meet and come to find out most of them were bloggers as well. It was so fun learning about all the other guests blogs and interest. Jaithan,did a great job coordinating the event, it was so nice and very well put together.
