Dreams Really Do come True!!

Good morning Friends! I am up early with my cup of "Joe" and trying to recap the event that happened this weekend and pinch myself, asking, "Did this really happen?" & "Did a Dream of mine really come to life?" Well most of you may know we had our very first Barn Boutique Sale this past weekend and the response to it was AMAZING! We did not even know what to expect as far as attendance.  I remember telling my friend who came to help that hopefully she was not going to be there for no reason and hopefully we were not staring at each other all day listening to the chirping of "crickets" in the background because no one showed up! Well, we did not hear crickets, instead we heard Lots & lots of women laughing and enjoying themselves and we just truly feel so blessed!!
 
I remember as a teen and young adult ripping ideas out of magazines and having them in a folder always thinking how much fun it would be to be able to create and recreate things for people to enjoy! I remember doing (and still do) a lot of shopping at small little shops that just gave you that at home feeling right when you walk in the door and thinking how much fun it would be to be able to work in one of those shops!  Now, many years later, lots of love and labor we did it!
 
We went from this..

 


To this:
 

 
 
We had so much fun this past weekend and we cannot thank our awesome help enough! (Judy, Cassie, Nancy, Andrea) Thanks for all your hard work in helping our dreams become a reality!!
 
For those of you that did not make it on out, here are some more pictures of the Barn Boutique! FYI We had lots of ladies asking if we were going to be doing a Holiday show, well mark your calendar's because a tentative date is set for Saturday Dec 7th(stay posted for more details)!








 
Once again I just have to say THANK YOU to all of you who came to our first show and helped this small town girls dream come true! Thank you also to "What Cowgirls Wear" for joining for the Barn sale! We had lots of fun with you gals!  A Special thanks to my partner in crime, my mom Carol who without her help none of this would be a reality!!!
 
Blessings,
Alicia & Carol

Beautiful Junque"s Fall Barn Boutique Sale!!

Hello Friends,
 
I know it has been a LONG time since our last blog!  Time Flies when your having fun:)  Well we finished out the season at the Flea Market..it went so fast and we had so much fun!  It was bitter sweet the day we cleaned out our little shop!  Onward we roll as school has started which means homework, dance, dance,oh yeah and did I mention dance!:)  My girls our very involved in our local dance company and LOVE it & so do I..but it does involve a lot of car time!!  Besides getting back to the old school schedule we have been busy busy creating, revamping and getting ready for our first ever Fall Barn Boutique sale!!  This has been in the works for quite some time and I cannot believe it is less then a week away!! Yikes! If you were to step in the shop today you would probably ask yourself (they are having a sale in a week?) LOL Well as my mom says "Procrastinators of the world UNITE....TOMORROW!" Now honestly we have not been procrastinating but we still have lots to do to prepare for this coming weekend, but the real fun part is about to begin with the staging and decorating yeah!!  We simply cannot wait for you to join us! Here is a flyer with all the details for this weekends sale and the directions on how to get here!  There will be signs marking the way!!
 
 
Here are a few pics of some of the creations we have been working on to have available to you at our sale!







 
Hope you enjoyed what you have seen! To be completely honest we are so excited and so nervous at the same time!  This has been a dream of mine for quite sometime and it's hard to believe it is unfolding now. we are truly blessed!!  But...now I must say goodbye..we have to get to church, do our kid's School Marathon and then get to work on finishing up some projects in the barn!! Hope you all can make it to our sale and a Big THANKS in advance!!!
 
Blessings,
Alicia & Carol
