Eddie puts together wonderful, intimate shopping excursions at some of the best antiques markets across the country, and lucky for us, he came down south for this fabulous open air market at Metrolina in Charlotte, NC. He had so many helpful hints about how to sort through the junk, find the best deals, and transform your flea market finds into Elle-Decor-worthy pieces for your home.
Here is a video clip from a stop at a booth full of beautiful china and transferware. Eddie gives his advice on what to look for, how to begin collecting, and how to use antique china in new fresh ways. Listen closely, he also gives a sneak peek of Celerie Kemble's new book, which will come out next year.

It was nice to meet you at the shopping trip. So glad I found your blog! Can't wait to read it. I had a quick question for you. I bought the beautiful aqua Irish linen napkins. While I was purchasing them I think you asked for the seller's card. I would love to have her information if you have it. Thanks so much!

ReplyDeleteHow fun and educational, too! Can't wait for Eddie and Jaithan to come to Rye in ten days for a Celebrate in Style event. When does her ever sleep? Celerie's new book will be fabulous - too bad it won't be published before the holidays.

Don't do this to me...I love Flea Markets and I found many treasures in the past. It must have been quite a high to be there with E.R.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comment on my blog!
This post is so great - Eddie and Jaithan are the best and the video is so fun! And you caught Eddie discussing old transferware - I have my grandmother's dishes (which were her mothers) and have been enamored with them since I was a child.
I did a blog post on my transferware dishes (they are red and white, with elephants!): APPLESandRUBIES: Table For Two With My Fave Elephants
Thank you again, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the video!
