Be On The Lookout For Wild Women!

Yes, there are Wild Women running around the Spokane area. They are the ones gathering up all of the rusty,chippy,shabby and vintage goodness they can get their hands on. So I suggest you get your little cowgirl self up to the 5 Mile Prairie and graze on the beauty of it all. Jennifer will be there with her boots on, I mean flip flops and she will be looking forward to seeing all ya'll. I wiil be in Portland looking for more vintage goodness for our next show, The Mad Hatter.

This weekend we will on the road to Sandpoint to see our friends Hollie and Jennifer at the Funky Junk Show, which will be Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 3rd and 4th. I'm so excited, we get to be on the other side this time and SHOP!!!!! Hope to see everyone there!

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Thank you to all those who have gone before us and those are still fighting for our freedoms!
Wishing you all a happy, fun and safe Fourth of July!

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

By Cora S. Day

The bright flags wave,
The big drums beat,
To keep the time
For marching feet.
We love our Country's
Flag so gay-
Not just the Fourth,
But every day.

We all will try
our very best
To be good patriots
With the rest.
For then the Fourth
Will glorious be,
When we all love
Our Country free.

The Greatest Show On Earth!!

I love doing The Farm Chicks show!! Every year as I drive to the fairgrounds I think how lucky we are to be able to participate in this show. We are so thankful for that opportunity. We have been vendors at the show for the past four years and every time I first see this sign announcing The Farm Chicks I get goose bumps and then the tears follow. Really. Silly I know, but it is so awesome to be a part of it. People come from all over the world to attend the show.

These ladies (sorry, I don't know their names) came prepared to wait in line. They are devoted Farm Chick fans. We love ya'll!!

A little corner of our booth and our home away from home for two days. We spent many long hours cleaning, painting, sanding, stapling, gluing and glittering. We stayed up late, very late, finishing our projects.

Unexpected Necessities



Junk Salvation



Retreat

Junebug

These lovely ladies are sisters who drove from Salt Lake City, Utah just to come to The Farm Chicks show. We had so much fun getting to know them. We had to take a picture of them with the Pink Lady they bought from us. I hope we see them next year!

Cute red boots, huh??!! The lady that bought these from us wanted to try them on, but didn't have socks and they were hard to get on. I suggested she put one of our sweet pink bags on each foot and then her feet should slide right in those boots. And slide they did, they felt so good she wanted to wear them, so off she went boot heels clicking on the concrete floor and pink ruffles of plastic flowing out the top each boot. We do whatever it takes to make a Farm Chick Girl happy!!

Paper Lollies for Farm Chicks!!!

A while back I found these adorable Paper Lollies made by Rhonna Designs. I decided to make a few for Farm Chicks this year since it is a candy theme. They were pretty easy to put together and really fun to make! I have attached the tutorial for you so you can make some of your own!

Rhonna DESIGNS: DIY paper lollies video tutorial....sweeeet!

Girls Just Wanna Have FUN!!!

We have been sanding, painting, pricing, packing and cleaning our best finds for The Farm Chicks Show which is in ONLY ten days!!!

These girls are ready and waiting for the doors to open. Meanwhile, back to work for the rest of us. Hope to see ya'll there!

Le Petite Waffles

Small, tiny, petite, however you say it, these waffles are just plain 'ol cute! Yes, they look just like Eggos, but wait....these tiny waffles were made right here in my kitchen at home, and not in the toaster either. I found this Le Petite Waffle Iron at a sale recently and it just screamed, no not screamed, it was a very lady like call to me saying, "Aren't I the cutest thing ever, you really must take me home!" Wouldn't you know, me being a lover of all things petite, I found myself in line to pay for the little thing.

Sweet, huh?!!
How do you suppose the Eggo people are going to make their waffles now??!

It's a Pink Sunny Day!!

I would like to introduce you to Jennifer's new little friend, Prince Pinkalot. It is a beautiful day around here in the land of Pink and Prince Pinkalot hopped in to say hello. We have been taking advantage of the warm sunshine and cool breeze to spray paint (Pink, of course) things we will be taking to Farm Chicks. We are so excited to be a part of this show once again.
I brought back tons of "junk" from our recent trip to Texas and everywhere in between, more on that to come. I can't wait to share with ya'll what I found!!

Happy Easter!

Wishing you and your family all a very Happy Easter Day!

Funky Junk Antique Show

Spring is just around the corner, and a sure sign is the Funky Junk Antique Show! We have been collecting lot's of funky junk, painting and creating new pretties getting ready for the upcoming show, our first of the season. Actually Kathy will not be attending the show. She is on her way to the big state of TEXAS where she will be going to Canton and the Round Top antiques fair and all those fun little shops along the way. I'm sure she will be bringing a car load back for
The Farm Chicks Show in June.

Mark your calenders for April 9th and 10th for two fun filled days of good old junk!
The show is located in Chattaroy. Wa at the Irish Dance Hall Grange 8216 E. Big Meadow Rd.
Just 15 short minutes north of Spokane, Wa. Hope to see you there!

How Did That Happen?

It really doesn't take a whole lot for us to get excited over something and then to say, I'm so going to blog this. Well, here we are. We just had the carpet cleaned in the family room and this is what we were left with, not only a clean carpet, but GIANT banners on it. Sweet, huh??! Jennifer and I are thinking of adding some ribbons, pink or blue, of course, glitter, lots of glitter, and maybe some letters to spell out Please Remove Your Shoes (before entering the Queen's residence). Sounds like an excellent idea to me. Bring on the glitter!

Have A Sweet Day!!

Blame it on Serena. Yep, it's all her fault. She gave us the idea of making these adorably sweet, tiny doughnut cupcakes. Well, mine did not turn out as picture perfect as hers, but you know what?? They taste absolutely DIVINE! I used the recipe Serena used from Country Living.
They were just a tad bit of a pain in the neck to make and it all takes a while since the pan is sooooo small. What we won't do for cuteness on a plate!

Hope your Valentine's Day is grand!!

Do you journal?

A journal is (definition from dictionary)"A personal record of occurrences, experiences, and reflections kept on a regular basis; a diary. An official record of daily proceedings." A journal is a continuing record of meaningful experiences that affect our lives. What would you like to remember about yourself? What would you like to tell your children or grandchildren about yourself? I personally don't feel like I am a very good story teller, or have anything interesting to write about,but writing in a journal is all about keeping and savoring memories. You may never be remembered for your superb writing skills, profound insight or your experiences, but you are the only one who can describe how you felt when your first child was born, or the day you got your first "new" car as a teenager. Journal writing is the perfect place to sort out all of our problems, set goals, preserve memories and develop dreams.

I have to admit that I do not keep a journal. I have started one on several different occasions, but I couldn't tell you where they are though. I have made journals before, but this time as I made these, I felt different about them, like I needed to begin one of my own. So... now I will begin the journey of journaling!

P.S. The journals pictured above are for sale. If anyone is interested send me a message!
Happy Day~Jennifer
