Hooked on Flea Market Style

Welcome to Hooked on Fridays, a blog party I host at the end of each week to celebrate the things that make us happy. This week I’m excited about a new magazine hitting the stands early next year called Flea Market Style. It promises to be filled with vintage-style decorating, projects, collecting tips and more. It’ll be co-edited by style expert and author Matthew Mead and “The Martha Stewart of Junk,” Ki Nassauer.

Another reason I’m so excited: Linda MacDonald, who writes the popular blog Restyled Home, is the Editor-at-Large. Congratulations, Linda! She was one of the first bloggers who really reached out and befriended me when I started my blog, and I’m thrilled for her.

Linda has a new behind-the-scenes blog about the magazine where you can follow along as they put it together: Flea Market Style: The Making of a Magazine. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Speaking of accomplished bloggers–this is Melissa’s 2nd year blogoversary over at The Inspired Room. Be sure to stop by her Beautiful Life party today and wish her a happy one!

Arleen @ Seasons for All at Home August 20, 2009 at 8:48 pm: Hi Julia. There was a time when I rounded through flea markets nearly every Saturday. I used to love the quaint look of new treasures and still do, but I haven’t been to a flea market for years. Thanks so much for this reminder of the charm of flea market style. ~Arleen

Terry Kearns August 20, 2009 at 9:15 pm: I am probably not the worst Flea Market shopper on earth. But I’ve learned to enjoy by treating them as little hands-on museums. And some aren’t so little. It’s great to know there will be a new magazine.

Janmary, N Ireland August 21, 2009 at 4:30 am: I love the sound of this magazine.

I just need to find more flea markets to rummage through. Here it is mostly car boot sales, and usually very little vintage, mostly broken tat you would not even give to a charity shop!
