Eddie & I are both pretty high-energy and Jaithan & Dave are both really laid-back so Dave was laughing later on about how Eddie & I were just going nutty switching from subject to subject... It does get a bit ADD when you have so much to talk about with other design-lovers. haha (same with meeting Camila!) Also, before I'd met them, I had no idea how much Jaithan knew about design. He went to school for itand has an amazing eye and his knowledge (like Eddie's) is insane. It's no wonder they've taken off!!! They're both so sweet- when we were considering buying the farm house, Jaithan gave me the lowdown on living in a farmhouse, they've been so great about encouraging me to get my work out there & helping along the way, and they've been great friends to just get excited with. Hahaha ok, before this sounds stalkerish, I'll go.
When we went to their place last time, I was just getting into blogging & forgot to take any pics, but I definitely will in September when they come to stay with us for a night at our new place!!! (Really gotta get my house, above, in shape before September ahh!!! haha ;) We can't wait, as they really are so much fun to hang with. It should be a busy fun-filled weekend!!! I'm planning on going to the Saturday flea market tour so sign up!!! If you're going to be there, send me an email!!! :)

As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

I am really, really enjoying your house progress and am so amazed at how much you get accomplished in such a short time!! Hope you and the family are having a great summer...thanks for keeping us inspired!
Ah! I must get in on this! Make room at your house for one more!!! I wanna come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok enough of me inviting myself over. It sounds like a lot of fun and I'm sure you will have a great weekend!
That is so fun Lauren. I'm just curious how these guys make money travelling around doing this? Do they charge to have people follow them around the flea markets?
How fun that you've made a great friendship with Eddie and Jaithan. Eddie's personality is infectious and it sounds like you all are going to have so much fun! You are lucky to have a husband to go along with you on all your design adventures!
That is going to be so much fun, I am so jealous!!!
I signed up for the Boston one and I cant WAIT!! If only I had room for two more in my apartment, ahh the joys of living in a tiny one bedroom apartment :)
How fun! I am so jealous!
Just found your blog and added you to my blog roll! It's great to see another DC design blog!
See you in DC! I am already signed up!
Fun! One of these days I need to get in on one of these flea trips.
Lauren - I didn't know you lived near DC! We are going to be in DC in September, but I will not be able to make the flea market trip. We are actually leaving DC that morning. I did, however, get an invitation to meet Eddie and Jaithan the night before at a cocktail party, so that will have to suffice. I probably should ask David if he minds staying in DC one more day...we are doing this as a Civil War trip for him (Paris last fall was my trip), so I am trying not to do too much shopping!! And there is a re-enactment that weekend he wants to go see. And flea-marketing would be so hard since we only have suitcases and need to fly home!
Oh well. Have a wonderful time - I am so excited for you. And they are staying at your house???! Holy cow, I would be so nervous. But you are amazing and will pull it off.

So jealous - this would be so much fun! Ax
Wished I was still in the area in September! I went to the last DC Big Flea in June and loved it!! There is a post about it on my blog.
Oh well, some were else in the world I might try to catch up with Eddie's flea market trip but for now it's time to fly back home to Hong Kong witch I miss a LOT!
Have fun and happy treasure hunting at DC Big Flea!!!
Wow, honey!
A belated thank for such a sweet post!
We love you and can't wait to see you and Dave!
Eddie + Jaithan
Yay!!! You all are going to have soooooo much fun!!!!
