More Barn House Sneak Peeks

Are you wondering about those Barn House turkeys? 

Are they sleeping on the job?

 

Absolutely not, however there is some serious gobbling going on in back, where the real Barn House turkeys call home.  They are no doubt wondering what all the commotion is about.

Lovely displays are being created!

  

All sorts of harvest bounty for your decorating pleasure!

The Barn House Fall Harvest Season Finale is going to be amazing!  I hope to see you Saturday, check out the details here.

 

Always different from any of their previous shows.  

I’m risking someone might loose my camera for me if I give away too much of the marvel that is being created.

What the heck, I will capture a few more sneak peaks tonight, those turkeys don’t scare me.

Barn House Fall Harvest Event

I’m here in Battle Ground to be your eyes and ears behind the scenes, before the  Barn House season finale.

We are all looking forward to Saturday. 

The place is a-flurry with activity.

Joe has a vision for the show and getting the piles of treasures

to the finish line, is the goal.

Cindy is here sharing her point of view and helping create the magic.

The clock is ticking…

Saturday, September 25th

Lots of one of a kind treasures.

 

Where else can you find a windmill for your wall?

A cabinet with a reminder?

Celebrating fall

With more sneak peeks to come, check back soon !

3 Times the Fun

Monticello Fall Sale

opened Friday and is open until September 27.

My hops look a little puny, probably from a season of neglect.

More images of the Fall Sale.

 

 

 

 

Lots of amazing booths be sure to make it before it is over.

Saturday morning would find us in the streets of Albany.  We were signed up for our same spot in the bank parking lot.

We got there first Dumbo, trailer and all.  This is where it gets kinda fussy since I was having “a little nap” but evidently someone had left their car in our spot and the bank being next to a bar maybe they just forgot???

So to make a long story short we literally ended up on the street.

  It was a great move, we loved our new spot!

We are officially street people…

I know, you were afraid of that.

We left Albany as soon as we were packed, and drove south to Coburg, a mere 37 miles.

So much better than the old years, now we get to set up the night before the show. 

With the doors open on the trailer, we simply pull up to our space, step hard on the brakes and all the inventory flies out where we want it. 

It’s a great trick!

Oregon City Antique Fair

I have done this show for several years and it is another favorite of mine. I lived in the area for several years before we moved to Silverton and have lots of “old” friends that still live in the area and generally make their way downtown to say hi!

Carol and Lisa brought this little cutie down to visit. I tried all my regular tricks to get her to smile, must be loosing my touch this was as close as we came. Mostly she was “not amused”.

There were lots of shoppers all day, these characters all showed up at the same time.

From left to right Laurie, Debbie, Isabel, Natalie, Kathleen and Lisa. Pretty sure that is Lyn hiding behind the hat…

I had lots of necklaces.

I made a few signs.

I have “a thing” for these sign holders. I can think of lots of uses for them, but I like them as just a frame.

More necklaces…

A great day full of friends, new and old.

Molly Mo’s, Life in the Country

We had a perfect day for an outdoor event Saturday.

This show is an absolute pleasure to do, it is so close I could practically walk there, but since I need the trailer, it seems more prudent to take the truck…  And it also would take me at least a week to walk the 15 miles…  But still it is closer and easier that many of the shows I do.  I also love seeing people I know from the community. 

 

Occasionally I have a great idea that no one but me thinks is all that clever.  Take for instance, this ever so funny display of what I was calling slip monkeys…

What was actually an adjustable mannequin that I hung in a tree to display the slips…

But looked like a monkey to me…

 

Maybe people were thinking sock monkeys??

Well, I thought it was amusing…

This is the face of someone not amused.

Couldn’t get sweet baby Maddox to smile, I get the impression he was thinking,

”Why do you talk so funny?” 

Something that made me laugh out loud was when my friend told me her 3 year old granddaughter told her,

“ Actually Grandma, I appreciate it when you use your inside voice…”

(hmm, should I ever have a grandchild, I can only imagine…)

There were some very talented vendors with great displays and lots of shoppers who were delighted to take a little bit home from the country.

 

Martha was serving up bird nest cake…

And who doesn’t LOVE bird nest cake??

I always love the hens and chicks in the chicken feeder, it just makes sense…

 

 

More fun in the country on Monday when Dusty had us over for a barbeque. The field behind his house has sheep living in it.  The farmer decided he needed to move them that evening…  How hard can it be to herd 4 sheep? Of course everyone would be happy to help.

It’s just a simple matter…

Every one get in place,

Run like the wind, yelling baa-baa…

Easy breezy just like, leading sheep to the slaughter.

“Oh no, you don’t” they baa-ed,”" not so easy!”

“No way are we going anywhere with that farmer.”

 

Just another day in the country.

Clayson Farm

We had a great time last weekend in Yakima.  We enjoy that part of the country, and why wouldn’t we?

It has some of the most spectacular scenery.

 

 

We were so lucky to spend time at Kim and her husband’s ranch.

They have lots of these…

I should probably have one of for my yard…

I definitely don’t want one of these scary, animals…

Oh wait, that’s just a log that looks like a wild cat of some kind…

Why do these animals follow me ??

 

Wish I could just wiggle my nose and have this put itself in some kind of orderly fashion??

 

That would leave more time for things like…

riding a bike???

Here were some of the early bird shoppers waiting for the gates to open.

Jermonne and Cindy

And Joe,

they knew there were some great treasures  to be found!

I found lots to bring home, actually the trailer was packed full coming back.  So full in fact there were treasures hanging on the outside of the trailer…

That’s certainly a nice look traveling down the freeway, I just pull the shades and pretend not to notice the people pointing and staring at the

“circus train!”

I’m only willing to face this embarrassment so I will have some wonderful new treasures for the next show…

Which is this coming Saturday in Sublimilty.

It would be an understatement to say I have lots of new merchandise… 

Hope you can be there!
