Two Women Art and Antique Show. Hope you can join us on Saturday 10:00~6:00 or on Sunday 10:00~4:00. There will be over 40 vendors, yummy food and live music. Click on the link for directions to the show. Enjoy! Hope to see you there!

Getting ready for the show....

I'm not really sure why we do it every time, but we always think that we have so much time in between each show that we put off pricing and tagging and painting and cleaning and well, you get the picture. We now have 3 days to do all of the above in preparation for the upcoming
Two Women Art and Antique Show this weekend. So off to work we go, hi, ho, hi, ho... Oh, just a little sneak peek at a few of the things that we will have for sale this weekend. We will share some more pictures with you later in the week!

Count your blessings

Count your blessings name them one by one. Count your many blessings see what God hath done. Hope your day is happy all day through!

Black Bean and Corn Salad

YUM! This was dinner last night along with some enchiladas and mexican rice made with a mango salsa. I was out of green onions so I used sweet onions instead, you could use either one you prefer though. The bean salad is also good by itself with some Juanita's tortilla chips to dip.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 6 green onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  

Directions

1. Place lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small jar. Cover with lid, and shake until ingredients are well mixed.
2. In a salad bowl, combine beans, corn, avocado, bell pepper, tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro. Shake lime dressing, and pour it over the salad. Stir salad to coat vegetables and beans with dressing, and serve.

Grand opening...

The day finally arrived... The grand opening of The Farm Chicks store.

\

The store is filled with all kinds of must have items like cute cupcake liners, pink polka dot candles, note pads, jewelry, t-shirts and hats. Oh, and the most adorable pink cupcake plate. I wish I would have taken a picture of it up close, but you can click on the picture below to maybe get a better look.

On a hot summer day what is better that a free scoop of ice cream. Thanks Serena it was yummy!

The big purchase of the day. Adorable floral scissors, a bracelet, lip balm, tiny little enamel bowl, letters, and fun pins for embellishing all those projects that are waiting to be finished.

Handmade cards

Recently while browsing through some magazines I felt inspired to make a few cards... this is what I came up with. All of these cards and more are for sale at This Old House located at 10611 E. Trent in the Spokane Valley. Enjoy your day!

Latah Creek Variety Market

This dresser is just waiting for a good home...

Wouldn't this be a fun addition to your garden?

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the chair is a pretty robins egg blue.

These are just a few of the pieces that we will have at the Latah Creek Variety Market this weekend. Hope to see you there!

Good old summer time

We are thankful for blue sky's, sunny warm days, and time spent with family on cool summer nights eating smores.

Happy 4th of July

Wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th of July!

Brooke's new blog

Last September we had the opportunity to see Brooke White in concert. Every since she has been on American Idol, I have loved everything about her. To meet her and see her perform in person was amazing,she is so real and down to earth. I recently found out that she has a blog,
and when I read it this morning I was in tears. I won't spoil it for you by telling you what she wrote about, but if you have young daughters,it is inspirational. My daughter love's Brook White!
