In just over a week I'll be fully emerged in antiques once more- a very happy thought indeed. The flea market starts and I'll be working at the Connecticut Spring Antiques Show. I like to do a little prep in advance of such exciting adventures- mostly just to organize my thoughts and ensure that I don't end up buying something silly that I don't need and don't have a place for. Here's my updated "What I want Now" list. If you're curious, you can check out my past ones

I'm hoping to get another vintage velvet sofa (can you tell I'm addicted?) for my workshop. I love the color and shape of this one. |
|
We need a couple standing lights for the music studio/guest house. These are spot one- just what I want. |
|
I really should snatch up some fun spring dresses like this one to freshen the old wardrobe up a bit. |
|
We also need four or five rugs for the guest house. I want to do all vintage Oriental rugs like this one. |
|
The coziest most perfectly slouched sweater in a soft heathered mint. effortlessly chic. |
|
Every year I pine for large pickling jars like these at Brimfield. I'm determined to buy a few in May. |
I want a nice little shelving unit like this for my towels and such in the upstairs bathroom.
|
I've also been admiring all the antique French drying racks on the market these days. Will definitely need to score one for my pantry. |
I do not in anyway live a lifestyle where I would ever need a blue sparkly mini skirt. But oh how I want this in my closet ASAP
|
I'll need a pair of vintage velvet chairs to go with my antique velvet sofa. There's actually a pair at the local indoor flea market that I'm hoping to snag this weekend if they're still there. |
|
I really want to get a light colored leather jacket for my spring wardrobe. I'm thinking either pale pink like this one or a soft dove gray. |
|
I'm really going to need some wellies this year. They'd be so adorable for stomping around the flea market. These red ones are ultra cool. |
|
I'll hopefully be replacing the light fixtures in the garage-which is being converted into my workshop. The current ones aren't the right style and don't put off enough light. I've always wanted Morovian star lights. |
|
I showed you this watercolor yesterday. It's up for sale at the upcoming Eldred's auction. I can't get it out of my head. |
|
And finally, also for my spring wardrobe I want to get a handsome pair of gray boots. I haven't had a good pair of gray boots in ages. |
