A very special post . . .

there are soooo many great vendors at

The Farm Chicks . . .

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
