Happy birthday, Audrey
I'm a bit behind in celebrating Audrey's birthday (May 4), but it's the thought that counts.
This lovely lady would have been 84 this year if she hadn't passed away in 2003. She was one of a kind.
I spent her special day at A Paris Street Market -- the first market of the year, in Littleton, CO. I think Audrey would have approved.
-- Especially if she knew this was my big purchase of the day: a replica of a movie poster from the European ads for her most well-known movie! It's nicely mounted, and I love this one because it's pink and brown, which matches my office. It's also interesting because Audrey's not named on the poster. It wasn't at the Market, but I bought it from Amy at Pink Attic Cat afterwards; she had opened up her warehouse for a big sale. Dennis and Ben approved and it is officially my Mother's Day gift this year.
A Paris Street Market never disappoints. Enjoy some of the photos from our sunny Saturday outing!
Peek a boo -- do you see me?
I really wanted the green metal industrial holder thingie on the right of the table, above. It was $58 and while I was thinking it over, someone else bought it.
Can you spy Rebecca in the garden booth? It was her first Paris Street Market, and she enjoyed it!
Worlds coolest altered clock tins...
A dress form named Ariel.
Mid century modern
'Loved the Tiffany blue-painted bicycle!
Remember these? Banana phones!
I bought a few boxes from the same vendor...but I'm keeping the Jack and Jill gelatin and the cute card boxes.
Besides the Audrey poster, Amy sold me a much-loved, Victorian-era scrap of lace. I promised her I'd use it only for good stuff.
I also got a few extra large wooden spools from her; they are for upcoming Audrey-themed projects that I'm making for sale in my handmade shop; stay tuned for those!

Despite all the temptations, I bought just a few smalls at the market; two are already listed in my Etsy shop:
Whiting & Davis box |
Georges Briard tray -- in PINK! |

My parent had that mid-century end table the lamp is sitting on. Two end tables and matching coffee table. After Mom passed away I tried SO hard to get one of my kids to take those tables but no takers, dang!
Your Audrey movie poster is wonderful! And so sweet your guys gifted it to you.
Have a lovely week,
Robin
