Barn House & a Booth Update

I finally got over to Monticello, brought some new things and did a little sprucing up!!!

Here is a couple of pics of my booth.

I have been so exhausted since Barn House....

Wow them boys know how to throw a shin dig...Let me tell you!!!

Here is a chair I created just for the show.

I wish I had about 5 of these....It flew out the door.

For some reason I only got photos during set up...So please disregard the treasures out of place.




I want to lend out a big

THANK YOU TO THE BOYS AND ALL THE SHOPPERS THAT CAME OUT!!!

It was a blast and can not wait to do it all again.

Hope you have a FAB week
Julie :)

Some Projects in the Works

Here is a wonderful farm table I picked up last week.

It had some green ink on the top, nothing a little sanding didn't cure.

Now I will put on a final coat of wax to the top of this beauty.

It will be presented at the long anticipated 2011 Vintage Country Marketplace presented by the Barn House Boys!!!

Here is another treasure that will either make its way to Barn House or Monticello.

A lovely french table!

Finished in my special recipe.

This cute french end table will also get my special finish.

Stay tuned for some other treasures I have in store.

Hope you enjoyed the beautiful sunshine we have had!!!

Barn House Was A Blast!!!

Barn House was such a blast there was barely any time for picture taking.

So here are a few shots of my booth.

For some reason my fireplace didn't sell. It did get lots of attention though. So off to Clayson Farms it will go!!!

My friend Leah bought this wonderful Military Cot to place at the bottom of her bed.

I think if will look FAB!

This rocker with french grain sack, railroad sign and oyster sign will also go to Yakima with me.

Be sure to check out other pics from blogs on my sidebar for more great photos of the show.

I have been getting ready for the Clayson Farms show in Yakima next weekend.

Check out my upcoming shows tab for details.

I will be posting details and information on Monday.

Have an excellent weekend!

When You Least Expect It!!!

Just when you least expect it, you stumble on some of the best junk around....Free to boot!

Yesterday evening Mike took me up the River Road in Washougal to pick up a chippy bookcase I saw on Craigslist for free....

After going the wrong way...yep...house is on the other side of the river

(glad that was Mikes mistake :)

We pulled into the long driveway.

The lady of the house had a huge fire in her burn pile..

To my dismay (yes, I screamed out loud) she was burning a vintage settee frame....

However, on the other side of the burn pile was a pile of free junk...

Here is a pic of the goods I hauled home.

Sorry for the poor photo

To the left is the chippy farmhouse bookcase that I picked up...Very primitive I like it!!!

I also brought home an old wicker rocker, very unusual, needs a tad bit of work on the cushion..

Metal and wooden farm chair...Already creamy white.

Old lattice, vintage light fixtures, galvanized feed trough that looks like an old toboggan, decorative cinder blocks, and a copper bucket.

This was the nicest lady, we hit it off right away...Kindred Spirits of Junk!!!

I have been busy painting, painting and painting for the Barn House Flea.

Next Saturday already....aaaahhhh

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Some Of This

It was time to head to the beach.

I brought a few projects and painted some of this....

We went for a drive and met Mr. Goat at a cute little French Alpine Goat Farm.
and got some of this.....

Mike spent a couple of hours mowing some of this (1.5 acres to be exact)....

Then he did some of this......

Time to eat so we made some of this.....YUM

And after a long day of chasing birds and running on the beach, Benelli did some of this......

Stay tuned for pics of some great treasures I picked up at the coast.....

Decision Made

First, I wanted to give you an update on my buffet (previous post, paint it or leave it).

I am very happy that I did not choose to paint that beautiful piece and she sold within the first few minutes of the show. YEAH

However, this piece that I got yesterday needed some painting!!

This sweet little desk gets one more coat and then some lovely antiquing

and will be ready for her debut....

I have been busy getting all my ducks in a row for the upcoming Barn House Flea.

See you on the 31st of July

Blessings Julie

What a Weekend!!!

Mike, Sidney and I had the most incredible time at The Farm Chicks Show.

I have never experienced such a mass rush of buyers for about 6 hours straight.

Standing room only!!!

Got home about a couple of hours ago.

But you know our "work" is never done.

Empty the car, go to the storage room and empty the U-haul, then take the U-haul back, post on my lovely blog...then crash from pure exhaustion.

And you know what....I can't wait to do it all over again :)

On our way home today we stopped in Hermiston to shop this cute little antique store.

Low and behold we run into Julie & Jeff who also were doing a little shopping.

Julie and I have a lot in common!!!

Fishin Fools for husbands (they were very much involved in sharing fishing stories while Julie and I looked for treasures) and we both love anything galvanized, rusty, primitive and unique.

Needless to say I have lots of shopping to do before The Barn House Flea.

Mark your calendars....July 31

Hope you have a fantastic week

Blessings
