Barn House sneak peeks

I have to admit, it has been very hard getting back into the rhythm of things, upon retuning from over three weeks frolicking around Europe....!!! With very little time to get ready for the Barn House Flea Market, it was time crunch!!! Even though I didn't get to finish everything I wanted to accomplish, I have managed to finish a few projects... Here is a sample of some of the things I will be bringing this weekend...

Sweet french basket cart with liner...

I had so much fun making burlap roses...

I gave this inexpensive dresser a beachy look...

Pillows galore...

Set of linen covered and stenciled chandelier shades...

The Barn House Flea Market promises to be fantastic, with a wonderful line-up of very talented vendors!!! It takes place this Saturday, from 9:00am to 2:00pm, in Battle Ground, WA. For more information and directions, please visit the Barn House blog.... I hope to see you there!!!! In the meantime, I leave you with some photos from last year's show...!!!

Pena Palace and Óbidos

I know I have already overloaded you with pictures from our trip to Europe, but I did not want to miss the opportunity to show you two of my all time favorite places to visit in Portugal... The Pena Palace is one of the most romantic castles I have ever seen, and it stands on the top of a hill above the town of Sintra (a mere half hour drive from Lisbon)...

Óbidos is a very picturesque little town encircled by a fortified wall... In the 13th century, a portuguese king donated this village to his wife, which explains the informal title of  "Queens Village".  It maintains a well preserved medieval look, and it has become a favorite tourist attraction in Portugal.... Of course I did not leave Óbidos that day without trying the ever so famous cherry liquor called ginginha...
