If you are not familiar with design expert Eddie Ross,
you'll want to hop, skip and jump right over to his site.
He has a keen sense of design, and what I love most
is that he shares his fabulous ideas and great finds
from thrift shops, Good Will and even the Dollar Store,
then tells us how to find things there that can help us throw an incredible event
which looks like we spared no expense!
Just look at the places he found all the things for this event...amazing!
Would you believe me if I told you most of these finds on the table below
were from garage sales, flea markets, and Good Will?
And the napkins rings made from earrings from Target!
Yep!
You can read about how he put it all together HERE!
The pink chairs were rentals but I love, love, love them!
The entire color scheme above reminds me of my latest collection called Raspberry Sorbet.
Eddie is known for fabulous finds and loves the "thrill of the hunt" for that great bargain.
Eddie even recommends Garage Sales Tracker
to find great garage sales near you, wherever you might live.
And if you have an iphone, there's now an app for this!
I can identify with Eddie.
I love flea markets, and thrift shops too!
I don't frequent those places much anymore
because there's not another spot in our home for another accessory.
You may not know this, but I actually had a booth in an antique mall years ago.
My friend and I did that together and enjoyed it so much.
And when I was in NY in May at Surtex, Eddie and Jaithan came by to visit with Sharyn.
Here are some great shots of them after she gave them some paper cutting lessons!
They obviously had fun!
If you need to plan an event anytime this summer,
Eddie Ross will be a great resource for you with categories like
Decorating, Food, Entertaining, and Flowers.
He also has an Etsy shop here where he sells unique pieces from his travels and every piece is under $100!
Here's to
fun and frugal decorating and entertaining!
xoxo,
C
