Springtime in Paris
Alright, here is what us Fleabags came up with after deciding winter was truly over, and our inspiring trip to the Idea House!
OH...I almost forgot to mention...Don't forget to sign up during our April sale to listen to our guest speaker Bev Resinger of B R Designs, and learn how to plant sun or shade moss baskets. This class will take place on May 14 in our back garden area. Bev is known for transforming yards into beautiful outdoor havens with flower containers! She will also be showing examples of planting in unusual containers. Such a great way to liven up any outdoor area. We have limited space for this event and have to keep it to approximately 30 guests. The cost for this event will be $5.00, and there will be a drawing for one of the baskets. Be sure to attend!
NOW WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.... pictures!

Fleabag Field Trip to the Idea House!
After a looong winter, the Fleabags decided enough was enough and headed out for a day of inspiration and take a little group field trip to Bachman's Idea House in Minneapolis. We had a BLAST and came out with a whole-lotta ideas to make our own and transform the flea! Take a look at what we saw...
Look at the fabric tied to the bare tree branches...it looks like leaves! The Flea has bare tree branches... hmm!
Everyone has old luggage hanging around-make it into a charming end table if you have nothing else to do with it!
I LOVE this wallpaper! I never thought I would say that about wallpaper, but it's so springy and fresh looking in this porch, I think it's making a comeback! (like it or not!!)
Have a collection of old floor grates? Why not put mirrors or pictures in them in a collage, like the Idea House did their collection on the stairway wall!
What little girl wouldn't love this ballerina inspired pink room? I have to say, I was slightly obsessed with it and I'm 25!
LOVE. Tutu valances...made from strips of several different shades of interface paper.
An iron gate makes for a perfect resting place for all those fashionable scarves every woman has.
After our minds were full of goodies we had to fill our stomachs with something just as wonderful! Bachman's has a cute little French Bistro in their greenhouse, which makes you feel on vacation, if for only an hour!
