Rooster Party

I'm participating in a rooster party hosted by Barb to show off my new kitchen theme .Thank you, Barb for letting me join your party!! Please be sure to check out her blog for a list of all the participants.

I am redoing my kitchen in a Rooster theme.

It all started when I found this black and white rooster fabric at the Garment District in Down Town LA back in May. I absolutely fell in love with the rooster fabric the minute I laid my eyes on it and I knew I had to have it in my kitchen!!!

And....here...I made a rooster valance for my kitchen window~~~

Recovered my kitchen chair cushion with rooster fabric~~~

and a rooster tea cozy made by Melanie B for my tea pot ~~~

Fun Fun Fun!!

Daisy and I rented a booth at the Little French Flea Market for the 3rd time.

I always wanted to be a vendor and it took me years to get the

courage to go out there and sell my things!!

The first time I ever set up a booth was at the Little French Flea Market! What a great experience and everyone is so nice and helpful. Each time we were out there to sell, we enjoyed ourselves and had so much fun that we decided to continue selling stuff at the flea market.

Aren't those cameo necklaces just gorgeous? They were made by my friend Daisy! Jennifer from The Old Painted Cottage fell in love with Daisy's cameo necklace and bought a few for her self and for her friend!! It was SO great to meet down to earth and so sweet Jennifer!!

My great friends Daisy and Aimee

Below are some of the bargained items I found at the French Flea market. I actually spent more than what I earned that day! hehehehe! But after all, we just wanted to have fun & enjoy ourselves!!!

The Los Angeles Garment District

My friend Daisy and I went to the LA Garment District http://www.fashiondistrict.org/ for fabric shopping yesterday.

As I expected, it was packed with people. I work just a few blocks from the LA Garment district so I often go there for a quick shopping during my lunch hours on weekdays, but it wasn't as crowded as it is on weekends. One of my cousin owns a whole sale jewelry and accessories business in there, but I got so tired of walking I didn't even stop by their store.

It was so crowded that we would get separated from each other. Hey, Daisy!! I'm here!!!!

You know how Toile fabric is expensive at retail stores, at garment district, you could get it around $5.00 per yard and if you buy more than 10 yards, you'll even get a discount!

Because the time was so limited, we only went into a few fabric stores even though there were more than 10 blocks of fabric district.

I'm going to bring my daughter here for her middle school graduation dress this year.

Although I am not so crazy about perfumes, I was so fascinated by the blocks of whole sale perfume district. Literally any brand name you want would be found here and you would've paid fortunes at department stores.

In additions to fabrics, I bought a few other things.

The small nick knacks like these angels are usually sold by a dozen. I bought them for a dollar a piece.

These are the fabrics I bought for my dining room cushions, pillows, and slip covers for these 2 old chairs. For the wholesale prices I paid for each item, and all the fun we had, it was well worth the long walks and the drive there on the weekend.
