friendship | Holly Mathis Interiors

When we were in NYC my friend Suzy was meeting with her “people” about patterns and details and constructing her bags! It is amazing the time and investment and planning that goes into getting a product made. I am so proud of her for having this vision and making it happen!

Well the new fleur bag has arrived just this week! Suzy calls her couture handbag collection “second suitcase” because she always takes a second spare suitcase to Europe and her amazing textiles come from these trips! All of her fabrics dates from 1880-1920!

The amazing butterfly bag was one of her first creations.

You can order the bags by contacting Suzy through her website or if you have any questions about dimensions or shipping just email suzy@suzystyle.com or by visiting her shop in Houston.

****** And if you order before the royal babe arrives, you get 20% off!******

Good luck with this new venture Suzy…so excited for you!

What an experience! Setting up a booth is a lot of work but a lot of fun too… especially when you get to hang out with friends!

Holly Mathis Interiors & Friends

{Kelly on left and Christi on right} We were a good combo, Kelly had small things, Christi had large pieces of furniture and I had the fluff!

Thanks goodness my sweet mom help me mark things and set up!

There wasn’t much time for styling!

Between the three of us we had SO. MUCH. STUFF. from big tables to teeny tiny vintage trinkets!

The big pine table went to one of my clients in Sugarland! So glad she got it…its a great piece~

And our booth was right next to Campbell’s Melange so we had lots of advice from Melisse’s dad on proper salesmanship and negotiating. Below you can spot the back of his head;

He is wearing his Kentucky Derby cap!

{Melisse and I after a day in the wind!}

Yes it was windy I had these cards blowing everywhere but the sunshine and nice weather were really amazing and worth the “breeze”! I still have that numbered can available, would make a great lamp, and a few black plates, some sold.

That little bamboo shelf sold right off! I had these burlap cloths made for the event but I don’t think my seamstress will work with that much burlap again for a long time…but they did turn out cute and hid our plastic totes!

I am so glad my sweet friend Kelly joined us, she is an estate sale sleuth and she had a lot of unique small things to share with everyone…you can find her shop Southern Gilt on etsy.

Watch out for her if you see her at a Houston area estate sale, she might knock you down!

I thought we were going to have some knock downs over the Union Jack banners..people love those things! God save the Queen!

Those green chairs went to the young daughter of a sweet client. I was so glad she snapped them up! The chairs and many of the larger pieces belonged to Christi, she has an etsy shop as well as a shop in Brenham at Hermanns Furniture.

The fab Becki from Curious Details also stopped by as well as several of my clients and blog readers! Thank you to everyone that said hello and introduced yourself…it means a lot to me!
