I arrived in Roscoe late Thursday afternoon to begin set up for the barn sale on Friday. Ann and I had last minute set up to do but first, we gave Doris her "jewelry". My birthday gift to Ann.
Then, it was on to the business of the
decor for the event. This summer's theme: Red, White and Blue; American Flags. I brought buntings and flags from home and we put them up. Here's how things looked as we all put finishing touches on our displays early Friday morning before the photographer arrived and the shoppers lined up.

Day 2: There was a 60% chance of rain in the forecast for 4 p.m. Needless to say, at 10 a.m., the skies opened up and it poured for about 40 minutes. We had groups of hard core shoppers who stayed! Huddled in the barn, the campers, the garage, these folks waited it out, we chatted, made coffee and sales!

Please note that even after two days of sales, being rained on, and packing up, we're still smiling.I'm honored to call these ladies my friends.

I'll be joining this group of gals (and more vendors as well) at the Vintage Market in Roscoe in September and again in October for the barn sale. I'll post details as we get closer to the sale. In the meantime, I'm cherishing the memories.
Thanks to everyone who came out and who supported me and this sale! We'll see you in the fall!
xo,
Kimberly
wow. i LOVE the "after" picture of your booth, Kim! That is just FANTASTIC! GO, YOU!!
ReplyDelete-b.
It looks like you did FANTASTICALLY WELL! I'm so happy for you!!! How fun!
ReplyDeleteKim--I could never make my yard and barn look so fantastic with your help. And just to think that last June you were just a "helper" and we no "theme". Now you're a hot vendor, selling all your wares, and our "theme" rocks it out every time! Thanks for all so very cool photos...love it.
ReplyDeleteI think that Ryan and I have the theme for next spring's sale all figured out but I still need a theme for fall...and NO, "fall" is not a "theme"...just in case you were wondering. Thanks again for everything..the food, the friendship, the FABULOUS time! xo
DeleteLooks fantastic! Wish I could have made it.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to meet you,shop this super funtastic summer sale!Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty amazing, wasn't it?! I love these vendors and Ann. Gosh, she's the best! We all have such a good time together! And the campers were awful cute too. It was really a fun sale.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!! Blessings... Polly
(still jealous that you two got into the house last night *smiles*)
I'm still smiling. What a wonderful group. I truly believe that the host of the sale sets the tone for the event and with Ann in charge, there's no way that we could possibly have less than an amazing time. The campers were perfect and it was such fun to spend time with you and Ryan. xo
DeleteP.S. Don't be jealous but, I went to BOTH farms last night! We spent well over two hours in the homes and the barns and walking the properties. I'll send you a note. ;)
Great photos.I am so sad I missed this.I totally forgot about this :-(. I remembered when it was too late and many other things going on.

I understand completely! We'll see you at the Vintage Market or the Fall Barn Sale! xo
DeleteI was able to come and visit you guys and boy, did I have fun! What a great group you had and the yards, the barn and the entire "production" was terrific! I managed to snag a few goodies while there and I was thrilled! Looking forward to the Fall Sale! Thanks much for all the fun!
ReplyDeleteP.S. The music was awesome!!

I was able to get down to Nellie's from Madison Wi. and truly had a blast! Thanks for all the fun! The yards, the barn and the entire "production" (including music) were fabulous! Even snagged some great goodies!
ReplyDeleteThanks and hope to get back in the Fall!

Hi Dorene, It was wonderful to meet you!!! I'm so glad that you were able to find a few treasures and that you made it safely home. PLEASE come back in the fall (either for the Vintage Market in September or the Barn Sale in October). It's a great "girlfriend" trip and we're happy to help you find other places to shop while you're here! Keep in touch, okay? xo

ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful time was had by all and a GREAT event, wish we could have been there but Illinois State Special Olympics was being held the same weekend. Maybe next time :0)
