Sometimes the vintage stars align and you find the perfect outfit for a bargain in less than half an hour. Note to self: Stop shooting pictures on trash collection days. Last Sunday, I had planned to go to the flea market early, wander, eat at a foot cart and visit

I wrapped my first 10x10 Challenge close to 2 weeks ago and think that now is a good time to look back on it. Since I've jumped into this challenge without preparation and did not plan outfits or put a lot of thought into the pieces I chose,
