i can scarcely believe that this year's Farm Chicks Show is already over! when you're working on one project for so long, it's always a strange feeling when it's over. especially when the big event just flies by!
we had such a good time at the show this year. we saw some old friends and made some new ones, met so many wonderful customers, and sent lots and lots of great vintage goods to new homes! the show is always a bit of blur, and this year was even busier than last year, but i did manage to snap a few pics just before opening each day.
i'm so thankful for all the people that made this year's show possible:
my mister, who did most of the heavy lifting, and took the weekend off to help
my booth helpers-
Melissa, who puts up with me, sewed all that bunting, and always makes me laugh
and
my mom, who started this journey, in a way, by taking me to antique shows as a kid
Aaron- Melissa's mister, who watched the little one all weekend so Melissa could help me
my dear friend Katie who helped get stuff ready even though she had to stay home this year
the talented Rebecca, who altered my dress for me
and last but certainly never least,
Serena- whose hard work all year long makes this show such an amazing time!
for those that stopped by to say hello- it was so great to meet you in person and i hope you had a great time at the show! if you purchased something you love from me, please send me photos- i love seeing where things end up and how you use them!
oh, and as we mentioned at the show, the tutorial for making the sewn paper bunting is up today!
finally- as promised on facebook last week- we're doing a giveaway-a-day this week! today's giveaway is one of our new tote bags! each bag is made of sturdy cotton canvas and will make a fantastic reusable shopping bag, purse, or diaper bag.
