FARM CHICKS!!! WHAT FUN!!!

We're back from one of the most amazing antique shows we have ever been a part of!! We met the most wonderful people, had a blast selling tons of things, and just had FUN!! Lisa and I arrived in Spokane Friday afternoon, and started setting up our booths amidst the most incredible dealers you have ever seen.... Saturday started off with an immense line of people anxiously awaiting the start of the show! We were suddenly surrounded by so many wonderful customers, we wish we could have visited longer with each and every one! We saw many of our sweet friends from Portland and met some new ones!! It was absolutely an amazing experience, and we had barely left the parking lot on Sunday and were already talking about next year....



There was a sweet lady who purchased a chair from me, and forgot to pick it up when she left Saturday to go back to Oregon. She called me, and we arranged for her to meet us near the Interstate Freeway on the way back so we could give her the chair she so loved!! What a story!!



Here are some pictures of my booth...










































...and here is Lisa's...































































I have so many more pictures of some of the wonderful dealers who traveled with us from Oregon, and many others who brought their most amazing treasures to this show!! One of the highlights of this show, for me, was to meet the incredibly sweet Heather Bullard, from Present Past. Her booth was absolute eye candy!!! I hope to be able to share these pictures tomorrow. In the meantime, I wanted to share some of the wonderful treasures I found for myself... I absolutely love everything!!

Farm Chicks countdown....

After Lisa and I had our garage sale this weekend, to purge some of our older inventory, I decided to go spend some of my extra cash at the Polk County Flea Market. I didn't buy a lot, but am very excited with what I found, and would like to share it with you! I couldn't resist the darling vintage veil with pretty wax flowers that was practically given to me, the celluloid necktie box, the darling vintage toy, but my absolute favorite find was this victorian mirror firescreen with hand painted roses!! Isn't it to die for? I don't think I will be able to part with it...

Lisa and I are going to Farm Chicks this coming weekend, my sweet husband is driving and we are taking the little guy with us! I leave you with a sneek peak at some of the pretty pillows and decoupaged suitcases I am taking. If you are coming, please make sure to stop by and say hello, and for those who will not be able to go, we'll make sure to take lots of pictures to share!!

Rain, rain, go away...

A few days ago, our rainy and cloudy Northwest was drenched with a "sample" of summertime...!! The kids had a blast running through the sprinklers and eating icees! I am feeling cabin fever and I want my sun back!!! In the meantime, I'll just dwell on some short lived memories...

More Barn House...



Following up from the previous post, here are some pictures of Joe and Jermonne's beautiful country home in Washington! I wish I had a better camera, that day... They have done an incredible job decorating their house and I know it is just a matter of time before we see it in a magazine!









































Here is a picture of the things I found at their sale, that day! A couple of ticking pillows and linens, some french books, vintage paper doilies and masking tape, a little compact box, glass lamp and a doll head. If you have a chance to go to their next sale, I highly encourage you!!
