For anyone who has any interest whatsoever in vintage decor, thrifted style, or finding unique pieces for your home or closet, you know flea markets can provide all of this, and often times at discount prices. Well folks, let's just say last week I met the mothership of flea markets. With almost 2,000 merchants (75% of those being antique dealers) divided into 15 different markets, I was on sensory overload! I spent the better part of my day walking around with my jaw dropped in amazement at the mass amount of furniture, home decor, and fashion accessories all brought together in one place. But, before I get too far ahead of myself, let's take a step back and start from the beginning.

It's Tuesday night, so you know what that means - it's time to party! It's hard to believe it's already time for our FOURTH link party. If you've been here before, we're glad you're back! If you're new here, welcome and thanks for stopping by! We are excited to announce that we have added a fourth co-host, Maria from Simple Nature Decor, so be sure to pop over and check her out.

If you've been reading my blog, by now you've heard me talk about 'Annie Sloan' and 'chalk paint' a fair amount of times. I'm sure some of you are wondering, "Who is this Annie Sloan chick? And why does Ashley keep talking about her?"  I thought I'd clear up this confusion and use today's post to give you a little background on chalk paint, and in particular, Annie Sloan chalk paint.
