Photos from the 2010 barn sales

I have been talking about the barn sale on my Facebook page lately.  It is coming up next month.  I had posted photos from both sales on my old blog, so I figured I should make a post on here since that blog is gone.  Here are photos from both the spring and fall sale last year.  If you live in, or near, Tennessee I highly recommend coming out for this sale!  It is worth your time!

SPRING SALE:

FALL SALE:

This is Christy, the talented, artistic, and sweet-as-can-be gal behind the barn sale.  I love her to pieces! :)


Here is the flyer with the info for the 2011 spring sale.  You can also visit Christy's blog.

A boy and his trains

It all started with this little train set for Christmas when he was 1 1/2.

Then somewhere between the age of 2 and 3 he really got into Thomas even more.  So he got a few more Thomas things for Christmas when he was 2 1/2.

And more for his 3rd birthday.

And it all led to meeting, and riding on, the big Thomas.

And meeting Sir Topham Hat.

Then someone generously gave us a BUNCH of wooden tracks, trains, and buildings to go with his wooden set.

And we had to bring our trains along to Michigan when we visited Papa and Nana. :)

Of course we got more Thomas stuff for Christmas in 2010.

And we once again received more wooden pieces from another friend.

He just loves his trains!!

My display at The Market

There is a neat shop in Smyrna, TN called The Market.  It is an eclectic gift shop with many items made, or sold by, local vendors.  There is always new stuff being added, so it is fun to stop in every so often to see what's new.  My jewelry is on display there, and I just love how it is set up!  All the display pieces are mine, except the mannequin and the brass bird dish.  If you are ever in the area, be sure and stop by!  Tell Rhonda I sent you. :)

Lisa Leonard is having a giveaway!!

I had the awesome opportunity to meet Lisa at the Blissdom conference in January.  You may remember my blog post about it.  She has once again created something fantastic, and she is giving away two of them!   Be sure to go check out her new customized, handstamped forks.  They are so sweet!  Perfect for your wedding, or for a wedding gift.
