Day One: Part Two

After leaving the Farm Chicks show we decided to take a trip to Couer d' Alene, Idaho and see what we could find there. It was a gorgeous day and so beautiful in Couer d' Alene. Of course, I didn't get a picture of the lake, which was glowing, or the pretty park and beach area, or the great outdoor bistros, but I did whip my camera out for this Beautiful, little store!!!!

Yes...we...went...to... MARYJANE BUTTER'S FARM STORE!!!!! It was so pretty and farmy and cozy!!

That wall is red, but it turned out pink in every picture!

I love all the white and the awesome laundry tubs!

A great idea for your old ironing board...Aprons!

This was a sweet picture hanging on the wall. Isn't this little girl adorable? Cleaning the eggs in that enamelware pan!

The clerk took a picture for us...can't remember her name, but she was very sweet!!

We went to a few (lousy) antique shops and then we happened upon this little diddy!!! The cutest, whimsical little store, full of bright colors, but so cozy and fun!




The counter tops are made of doors! There is a periwinkle one and an apple green one too! Fun for a sewing room!

I wanted to crawl into this bed!!!! I love the daisies hanging all around!

More cute stuff!! I think it's time for some new bedding too!!

Wouldn't this make a cute little homework desk? I love how it mounts to the wall!

Sorry I'm dragging this out, but I have so many pictures and don't want to overwhelm anyone!!!!

We had a great dinner at Olive Garden, did a little browsing at Border's and TJ Maxx. The best part?? Karen has now been to Idaho!!!

The Big Day!!

The morning of the "Big Day" shone brightly!!! Guess there was a gull -washer the day before during set-up. The line wasn't too bad when we got there, but by the time the show opened there were two lines all the way to the road.

We were in line right behind Dixie and Linda, the Funky Junk Sisters. They are so fun and we had a ball hanging out with them! They were taking pictures and video and talking with EveryONE!!!
Miss Serena, the Farm Chick herself, came out and handed out flyer's and chatted with everyone. She is such a doll!! Always a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone...so thankful for people coming to her show.

One of my favorite booths, The Seven Sisters!! They are so adorable and fun!!! And, they make the BEST desserts Ever!!!

I met my blogging buddy, Erin, from "Home's Where my Heart Is". She lives in Spokane and it was such a joy to actually meet in person!!! Isn't she a doll? Wish we'd had more time to chat, but it was really hectic in there!!! Nice to meet you Erin!!

Here's Hollie and her mom, Gayle and her friend whose name I don't know!!! I've been buying from Hollie since the first F.C. show that I attended down in Fairfield. She always has great stuff and reasonable prices, plus she's a dear, sweet lady!!!! Her mom and I actually took a quilting class together at the Buggy Barn. Small world!!

This year, there was a man cave set up in the silo, complete with couches, recliners and flat screen TV's!! Great idea!

Loved these dear people as much as I loved their sign!!! I picked up their card, but can't find it now and don't remember who they were!!! Hope they are there next year though!! I bought the matching door so that I could put my own stencil on it. Not sure what it's going to say...any ideas??

Junebug Designs always has a great booth too!

Lot's of burlap this year!

Loved this!! Stencils, burlap, duck cloth...all very farmy and beachy!

It was so crowded that we only stayed until one o'clock, but we found some great things!!! We went back to the hotel and had some lunch. Then we headed to Couer d' Alene for a little adventure!!!

Stay tuned!!!

Road Trip

Headed down the highway.... Hope to see you there!!!!!
