Farm Chicks ~ closing act

I know that by now you are probably tired of looking at so many pictures of Farm Chicks, but I promise this is my last post about it!!! There was so much eye candy, I couldn't resist snapping a ton of pictures... I wanted to go back later and take more close ups, but I was too busy! Don't forget to click on the pictures to make them larger. I hope they will inspire you as much as they inspire me!!















































I had the pleasure of meeting Teresa Sheely, what a sweet (and talented!) gal!!























Vicky and Beth's Gossamer Designs booth full of bohemian charm...







































The mother/daughter gals Gladys and Celia from Junebug...

Debi Kennedy's gorgeous booth with the much talked about piano masterpiece (thank you so much for leaving me a comment so I could link to you, Debi!!!)

I didn't want to end this FC chapter without mentioning one of the highlights of the weekend, the BH/Tarte party at Chaps, a wonderful restaurant owned by Celeste (who was also a vendor at FC). The setting was gorgeous, the food was wonderful but the best part was obviously the people!!! What fun!!!! I was so tired I forgot to take my camera, but check out Tiffany and Tara's blogs for some great pictures!! Thank you so much, Joe, Jermonne, Cindy and Celeste, you have truly created a memorable evening!!

Just a moment ago...

Wasn't it just yesterday that I was holding you in my arms, rocking you to sleep with your favorite nursery songs...? Wasn't it just a moment ago that I saw you proudly getting into that school bus on your way to your first day of Kindergarden...? Wasn't it just a second ago that you nervously and anxiously started your grand adventure into Middle School...? Everyone told me, and now I know... Time is but a moment, don't dare blinking...

As you move into High School, we are so, so, SO proud of you, Anna!! We know you have what it takes to fulfill your dreams and achieve greatness, and can't wait for the next seconds, moments, tomorrows... We love you!!

P.S. ... Not blinking...

Farm Chicks ~ part deux

Considering what a crazy busy weekend we had at Farm Chicks, I'm actually happy I took a little break to snap some pictures!! I think the best part about these shows is that you are there with your fellow dealer friends, and that you get to meet so many wonderful people!! The good thing is that I was busy selling, the bad thing is that I was so busy selling I didn't have time to visit with people like I would have loved to ...!!!


Here is sweet Lisa with her super cute new haircut!

Bella Shabby Sue's booth...

Joy from A Day in the Life had some great stuff!!

Cindy's booth, from Tarte, is always an incredible treat to the eyes!!

The Boys of Barn House really outdid themselves this time... Truly the most talked about booth!!!

Awwwww....!!! You guys are just toooooo cuuuuute!!!!

Lynne and Heather's great booth...

Second Childhood Girlfriends Karen and Corinne's sweet space...

The ever so talented Lisa Souers..!! She always ends the show with a practically empty booth!!!

Ther wasn't much time to shop (I guess a blessing in disguise!!), but I managed to buy some darling treasures!!




I've said it before, one can never have too many hatboxes!!

I just love this vintage embroidered pillow I got from Sue... "What care we for wind or weather, so long as we two can be together..." It summarizes my feelings from this weekend's adventures, except I would change the "two" for "all"!!

How cute is this fabric sewing box?

This is a real watercolor, the photo does not do justice at how beautiful it is!!

Finally a darling vintage duvet cover with my ever so loved roses!!! I have enough eye candy for one more FC post, I hope I will not tire you with it!!

The sweetest times

Last week my son's kindergarten class went on a fishing field trip... The kids had a blast and Alex was absolutely beside himself when he caught his very own fish (he had it for dinner that night!). I can't believe this school year is over... I wouldn't have missed spending this time with him for anything!!































Yesterday, I joined my daughter Rita on a walk around our little town. Every year, the fourth graders at our elementary school recreate the Oregon Trail. The children love to dress in period clothes, and craft their own wagons as they prepare for a long walk. The day ends with a picnic at the park, music, dance and treats. These are the sweet memories we will treasure forever!!
