Serena wanted to know . . .



. . . what Vintage Items are you going to be looking for at . . .

The Farm Chicks Antiques Show ???

Well . . .

I thought I would show you exactly what I am looking for . . .
just in case anyone is reading this - and has a few of these stashed away somewhere!! :)

I am crossing my fingers . . . for a set of . . .

4 Vintage - Saarinen tulip chairs!!

why the modern edge you may ask??

well . . . I actually grew up in a very modern house . . .
and we had 4 of these chairs in the kitchen . . .
along with the Saarinen Table that went with it . . .



and a Nelson light fixture centered above it all . . .



the breakfast table sat at the end of a very sleek stainless steel and turquoise kitchen . . .
which had a very Mid Century Modern vibe to it!!!

The chairs and lighting were designed by . . .
two very talented bad boys of that time - including . . . George Nelson


and . . . Eero Saarinen
(with Eames on the left - another great mid century designer!)


I currently have an old farm house . . . and don't intend to go too modern with it . . .
but would absolutely LOVE to add a few classic modern pieces here and there
just to mix it up a bit!!


so there you go . . .
that is the type of vintage that I will be personally looking for at Farm Chicks??

Soooooo . . . what about you . . . what are you all looking for??
Would love to hear from you!!!
 
Can't wait for the fun to begin . . . see you all very soon!!

farm chicks or bust . . .


after the 8th grade banquet on Sat. night . . .
Meagan and I drove to to Spokane . . .

why you might ask . . .

for a little bit of that Farm Chicks Vibe!!!




it was a long drive and a long night . . .
but that didn't matter to Meagan or I . . .
we chatted all the way there and all the way home . . .
loved every minute of it!!

Farm Chicks is such a happy place . . . with happy people . . .
and I really like that!!!

Bought some great vintage pieces, saw some old friends
and met some new ones . . .



a picture of Robin, Debi, Leah and I . . .

Deb's Retreat booth looked amazing . . . as I expected it would . . .
packed full of creams and whites - it was just beautiful!!!
It was so good to see her again . . .
and I am so excited to be part of her
Petite Retreat

up on Camano Island . . . it is going to be a blast!!!

I met Robin and Leah for the first time on this trip . . .
but have been admiring their work
for quite some time now!!
And let me tell you . . . they are not only talented . . .
but very, very sweet!!

It was such a pleasure to finally meet them both!!

I took tons of people pictures . . . but this weekend it is sunny
and
I want to feel the warmth!!

Long story short . . .

It was pure perfection!!

A very special post . . .


there are soooo many great vendors at
and I have decided that it is too hard to write about just a few.

On that note . . .

I have decided to write about one very special vendor . . .
that I met last year at Farm Chicks.

This gal is a true inspiration to me on so many levels . . .


her name is . . .
Teresa Sheeley

and I am so glad that I met her last year at Farm Chicks . . .


she is known for her beautiful towels . . .
with words in french . . . stylish numbers . . .


crowns . . .


and european county motifs . . .
the red rooster above is one of my favorites!!


Teresa is also an amazing artist . . .
and I have so enjoyed following her work!!
I love the above piece . . .


and I also love this one . . . in fact - I bought the original from her!! :)

but what I find most inspiring about Teresa . . .
is her true beauty
that comes from within herself and her faith in god.


Here is Teresa next to her "rock" husband . . . Dave!!


Unfortunately - Dave had a heart attack earlier this year
but is doing much better each and every day . . .

when things happen like this . . .
it changes ones life in so many ways.
It has not only been overwhelming emotionally . . .
but it has also been an enormous burden financially.

Unless you have gone through something like this personally . . .
you may never know the depth of this hardship . . .
and also the test in your faith each and every day.


With all of this going on in her world . . .
Teresa (with Dave by her side) has been working hard
to get ready for The Farm Chicks' show.
(love the picture above!!)

I know her booth is going to be amazing this year!!!
So . . . stop by and see her . . . her Booth is #143

You can give her a big hug from me . . .
and
I am sure you will find something you
can't live without as well!!

I told Teresa that I do believe Miracles do happen at Farm Chicks!!

what I didn't tell her . . .

is that one of the small miracles that happened last year to me . . .
started out with a big ben clock I had in my booth . . .


and the friendship that was created from it . . .
and Teresa . . .
if you are reading this and you still have the original painting . . .

It is SOLD . . . to moi!! :)
(if the original is sold - I would love to get a print!!)

Hope you have a wonderful show Teresa!!!

Love and Hugs . . . xoxo - liz

The Farm Chicks Show . . . the best time ever!!!

Where do I even start . . . the Farm Chicks show was one
of the highlights in my life!!! I am not sure that I can explain the
true meaning of how much it meant to me here on this blog - it was
truly a moment in time that I will never forget!!! Life happens . . . we
have the wonderful times as well as the hard times . . . and once in
awhile . . . we have those special times that we will never forget . . .
for me . . . this weekend was one of those times!!!

A very special "Thank You" to Teri and Serena . . . we are
all blessed to have you in our lives - we will have memories that
will last a lifetime - Thank you so very much!!

A few pictures from our booth at the show . . .
