Land of Tarte and Willow Nest




















Even though we had a large soccer tournament this weekend, I did not want to miss a visit to the Land of Tarte with guest vendor Willow Nest!!! Did you see me there with my cute little pantaloons...??!!





















Linda and Ludmil saved much of their pink goodness for this show, and what eye candy that was!!! The magic began before we even set foot inside the barn...























































Once you enter those doors, be prepared to be transported to another world... I went around in circles afraid that I was going to miss something! When you combine the wonderful prettiness of Willow Nest with Cindy's incredible vision and the twins amazing antique wares, you know you are in for an absolute treat!!!









































































































































































































We had a wonderful time visiting with old and new friends! One of the highlights of my day was when this lady stopped me (I wish I had gotten her name...), pointed at me and said.... "Pineapple Brownies!". I said yes, that was me who posted the recipe on my blog! She called her husband, and when she told him that I was the one who had posted the recipe, his eyes lit up and he gave me two kisses on the cheek! I think it is fair to say he likes Pineapple Brownies!!!!


Noy only did I come home with great memories, to top it all I brought home the most wonderful find!! A vintage fabric covered box that is truly to die for!!! And, to put the cherry on top, my daughter and her team won both of their soccer games that day!!! I couldn't have been happier!

  12. Oh, I wish I could have been there. I had signed up for a class on Saturday and if it hadn't taken place I would have been there. I love both Tarte and Willows Nest. I use to shop at Willows Nest when they were in Oregon. When I retired I headed out there to shop for a treat and they were gone. Sniff! Thanks for sharing your pictures and I would love to see your whole outfit.

  24. I just want to cry....everything is just so beautiful...we don't have ANYTHING like this here...you girls all do it so well across the pond...if something is a bit chipped or tatty here, its seen as something to be thrown away...not displayed with pride and enjoyed...:( I come to you for my 'fix'! Thanks so much for sharing,
    Niki x
