Schools out for Summer....Flea Market is in full Swing!!!!

Oh My goodness!!!  It has been 3 weeks since our last blog..wow does time fly!! What have we been doing during those 3 weeks... well we have been busy with the end of the school year..busy on small accomplishments to the Barn Boutique..& of course we have been busy busy busy getting ready for last weekends Grand opening of our little shop at the Flea Market!!! That's right last weekend end was the 3 day opener..so if you missed it we will be there again this Sunday & Every Sunday through Labor Day weekend!! Before I get to how awesome the 3 day opener was I will fill you in on what we have been doing in our 3 week absence from our blog..

 

First off end of school year..we had the end of the year Dance recital..awesome..the kids had a track meet wonderful..& end of the year awards..and all that hard work paid off they all are moving on yippee :)

 

Maddy moving on up to 5th Grade,Brody moving on up to Kindergarten, Ella moving on up to 3rd grade!!!

 

They were celebrating big time the last day..

 

Oh to be a kid again!!!

 

Amongst all the end of the school year activities we were sprucing up our new little shop at the Flea Market.. Here is a before pic outside..

And after...

 

 

With a little elbow grease & help from Uncle Demcy..we made this shop into our own!!

 

Here are some pics from this past weekends opener!!

 

The last weeks have been a whirlwind leading up to the opener at the flea..but all the work has been so worth it!!!  We feel so very {LUCKY}..as our sign states below.

 

to be doing something we love & to share that passion with all of you!!  Thank you so much for the ALL of you who came to see us this past weekend at the flea & for all the wonderful comments on our products and our shop..your kind words are what keep us driven to create/re-create more goodies:) We hope to see you all again and for those that did not make it out..we will be at our little shop every Sunday through Labor day weekend..Hoping to bring you items that help you be {INSPIRED BY YOUR SURROUNDINGS}!!

 

I leave you with a picture of not our Creation but God's..had to slow down for a bit the last couple days and stop and take time smell the "Roses" or "flowering Crab tree's" in this case.  What beauty there is in nature!!!

 

Blessings,

Let the {JUNKIN} Begin!!!

Hello friends!! Spring is definitely in the air now..YEAH!! Pretty much all the snow is gone..birds are chirping and we had some warm sunny days..You know what that means don't you?? It's {JUNKIN'} season!!  You ready for Flea markets to open..garage sales..& auction time!!!  I know we are & we hit a few Sales already and are finding Treasures that just need a little {BEAUTIFUL JUNQUE} LOVE.. Here are just a few goodies we scored at our very first garage sale of the season!!!

 

Never can pass up old doors!! So many fun things a person can do with them!!

Just could not leave this sturdy chair behind..We love the shape of it and the color and the floral pattern of the material..add a little lace throw over it & it is adorable!!!

 

We also got a chance to hit up for just a couple hours Fargo's Cleanup week.. now what an experience this was!! First off we had my two girls in the car (it was right after a dance competition) and they were wondering why we were going up and down streets looking at peoples' piles of "junk"..  Girls, girls, they should know Mom by now..another persons Junk is {MOM & GRANDMA'S} treasure!!! So we loaded up our car as much as we could..and made a note to ourselves that next year we need a truck and a trailer..there was some awesome "junk" thrown to the curb!!! Here is a sampling..

 

 

 

We had so much fun & could spend all day looking for treasures on curbside...but after a little complaining from the "backseat"..& a car full we knew it was time to stop the treasure hunt..but before we headed home..we got to see that we were not the only one's finding Treasures that day..these group of boys found their curbside treasure & were having a great deal of fun driving it around!! Made us all {LAUGH}!!!

 

 

Hope this puts a smile on your face like it did ours.. & remember only 17 days until the opening of our Little Shop out at Shady Hollow Flea Market!

 We got our Keys to our little shop last week..Time to put our own touches to it!!!  Hope to see you all soon @ the Flea!

 

Happy Belated {MAY DAY}!!!
