The sweetest birdhouses can be made out of the simplest scraps. I'm gonna have to keep that in mind. The back is just as cute as the front. I should have taken a picture of it, too. Unfortunately a bunch of bees have taken up residence in one of our birdhouses (not this one) and are gonna have to be evicted soon. Any tips?

A Tisket, A Tasket
A darling shopping (aka laundry) basket! Don't you see why it just had to come home with us?
Another Barn House find! See why it's hard not to spend money there? This will make dealing with laundry so much easier, don't you think!?! Made by this fabulous lady. Wait till I show you a sweet little vintage folding table from their Tickled Pink booth!

Sweet Sylvi of Little Cottage
She has the most adorable accent, and you couldn't meet a kinder, helpful, more adorable person than her! I will definitely look forward to seeing her at more shows!!! This adorable striped chair came home with me. I only wish I'd grabbed up a few of her beautiful lace and linen pillows, too. Next time. . . My husband even raves about how comfortable it is. Always a plus!
More loot. The two cottage pictures were from Sylvi as well. I'll have to post better pictures once I get them hung. There's a cellophane bag full of vintage millinery, a pretty crepe paper flower garland, some vintage silk ribbon and a fun party hat. The piano bench was from Aleta's booth. Her husband was so sweet and helped me load it into the car. What a gentleman! I loved their stuff and would've happily bought more had the pockets been deeper. If you take a peek at this post, you'll see why!
Loved Natalie's booth! Simply beautiful! I bought a set of pale aqua rimmed vintage plates from her. I'll have to take a picture of them. Her husband was a great help, too! I think it's awesome the husband and wife teams that were there working together. What a dream!
I can't tell you how awestruck I was seeing the people whose blogs I've been reading and admiring for quite some time. I felt like I was meeting some very famous people! The real "superstars" in my book. They were all very friendly and so down to earth.
The Queen of Tarte's space. I bought a beautiful pale pink linen apron (that she's known for making) from her. Too sweet!
What a treat to finally see Deb and Bob and the magic they perform.
The Scrabble boards used as place mats. Ingenious is what they are! To see more of their space, click here.
Click here to read the story about their absolutely gorgeous camp they set up for their time at the Barn Sale. Beautiful pictures as well as a hilarious story. I would have been miffed about people helping themselves to my camp, but they handled it with such grace! Love it. . . . Anyway, I had a fabulous time and cannot wait to go back. I only wish I had a money tree growing in my front yard. Just experiencing a Barn House Show though is well worth it even if you don't have any $$$ to spend.
Candelier
It was love at first sight when I saw this hanging at the Barn House Flea Market yesterday. I always feel so conspicuous taking pictures when there are lots of people around. I feel like they'll think I'm taking pictures of them. I think the guy in the red shirt wondered. Besides, they mess up a pretty picture. I wish I was a vendor so I could take all the pre-show pics my little heart desired. Wonder if the Barn House Boys would let me be their official photographer. Think I should ask?
It's funny how I still missed seeing so many cool things until just now looking at the pictures I took. Love the rounded windows behind my candelier.
Anyhoo, what do you think of my find? I love, love, love it! Now to find the perfect spot for it! We do have a tiny cottage, ya know. High ceilings help, though. This spot on our porch works for now (neighbor's house in background).
I can't wait for fall to twine it with some bittersweet and maybe even put mini pumpkins where the candles go. Wouldn't that be cute?
More finds and show pics coming up. . . . .
Spread the Love!
Even though I'd like to keep it all to myself, I can't help but spread the good news here in the Pacific Northwest! Barn House is having a Flea Market this Saturday, July 18th. Come one, come all if you can! It promises to be great fun with finds for everyone! I know I plan on being there. It always seems like something comes up and I can't go. Oh how I've felt sorry for myself when I knew so many others got to go. Silly me! But this time, I made sure to put it on my calendar early as a commitment! Hi-ho, hi-ho it's off to the flea market I go! See you there. . . .
