We're so ready!!!

I just had to show you a couple more pictures - I could live in my barn!


Such a lovely kitchen area!  What's for breakfast?
Oh ya - Breakfast potatoes from the Potatoe Wagon!

One of my Fairy gardens...the first night, some little creature ate all the petunia blossoms!!!
They thought it was a little buffet for them!  Today Addy made little paths in both trunks - she did such a good job!

The next night I just shut the lid but the spikes didn't really like that. 
So I guess they don't like Alyssums and Lobelias...oh darn!

Thanks to my friends, daughters and grandkids for their help today!  Audriana, great grandgirl at 8 months, supervised!  And it was hot in the barn...not complaining though - at least it wasn't raining!

We're ready!!!

We're gettin' there!

I have the most talented and hardworking friends and family!  Kathy and Bev and Barb were here today to make magic happen in the Barn!

We had lots of help from the hubby and our son, Dave, too.  They moved in our very heavy stove for the kitchen area - hopefully their backs will be ok!  Then they went over to the neighbors to get the big blue cupboard (almost 8 ft. tall) that they gave us!  It's so perfect and will hold lots of dishes.  I get carried away buying dishes and chairs.

Bev and Kathy busy making sense out of piles of stuff!

Garden area!

Our new blue cupboard!

The Library

Farmgirls gettin' it done!  Come to the Farmgirls Country Sale if you are in the area!

Another Amazing Farmgirls Country Sale!

Wow - we had a great sale after a disappointing, rainy start but then the weather improved and people came to the farm to shop and eat!

Of course, we didn't have time to take pictures until the day was well under way but here's a taste of what we had!!!

1940's kitchen area - love red!

Farmgirls mascot - our one eyed Aussie, Honey!

 Plant Pockets out of recycled, woven plastic bags!

Lovely magnets!

Girly vanity!

Striking, functional dresser

Polymer clay earrings and survival Para cord bracelets!

Fun, funky headbands, quilted bags, ribbon pins and card carriers!

It was a very busy, fun two days!  Sales were tremendous and those potatoes from the Potatoe Wagon were wonderful.

Our new little barn is under construction so our next sale will be in a permanent little shop.  No more taking things down and packing them away for the winter!  Yay!

Take care,

Bonnie



Occasional Sales in the Country!

Our occasional sales will begin the first Friday and Saturday of June through September.  Hubby and I love our little business.  We are junkers in the true sense of the word.  Our happiest day of the year is the first garage sale in the spring and if it has furniture that needs to be repaired and/or painted, we can hardly breathe from excitement...well, that might be me not able to breathe - Hubby is pretty quiet - usually he's breathing.  He would be the one doing most repairs so he might be holding his breathe if the repairs are too extensive.  But I have lots of faith that he can fix anything so I usually buy it and suffer the consequences when we get home!  You know husbands...eventually when its their idea, its a good idea.  He does love shopping now too!

This life suits me to a "T".  I can buy stuff - lots of stuff.  I buy stuff all year.  I buy stuff for the sales.  I buy stuff for my girls.  I buy stuff for me and if I don't end up liking it...I sell it at one of our sales.  Yay!  This allows me to buy any kind of chair or whatever - modern, vintage, Traditional - you get the idea.  It is so satisfying for me and my soul!

Even if it rains we have lots of space inside and protected!

This year we will be joining with four other sales to create the Mora Meander.  There are two sales in the country (the best sales!) and three sales in town at retail businesses.

Great wood furniture

We have lots of chairs!  It's my greatest vice!

The kitchen area

It's very easy to find home accessories
 no matter what style you have!

I've created a Facebook page at Farmgirls Country Sales if you want to check our progress moving forward to our first sale June 3.  I will be posting some of our projects.  If you are in MN or surrounding areas, please come and visit us! 

The Potatoe Wagon will be at our farm serving breakfast baked potatoes, taco taters, broccoli taters, etc.  That is the way she spells it and I don't have to cook for two days - yay!

We have so much fun
 and expect lots of laughter too!

What's more fun than shopping in the country where prices are reasonable, the scenery is great and you can smell the potatoes baking!!!

P.S.  These are pictures from our 2010 sales - lots of new things for 2011!
