count down 'til farm chicks!

In just 3 days I am flying to Washington to help my friend Becca with her booth at Farm Chicks! For those who may not be familiar, The Farm Chicks Antique Show is a weekend-long event that features hip vintage finds and handmade goods by some seriously amazing vendors. The show is a huge deal and has direct ties with the editors of Country Living & Where Women Create magazines. I'm so excited for the opportunity to see Becca's new business {Wanderlux} off on its maiden voyage at the show. We will be at booth #127 in Bay 1, so please, pretty please, come say hi. I am so giddy. I feel like I am getting ready for summer camp. Off on a trip to meet some new friends, soak up some inspiration, and learn a ton. So much for Memorial Day fun in the sun...This weekend I have been a busy bee, holed up at home, finishing up a whole bunch of projects for the show. I just had to break away to share a sneak peak at a few of the things I've been so feverishly working on. Above is my latest batch of fabric banners, incorporating dozens of vintage sheets/linens. The colors make me so happy. It's official: Doilies are not dead. They are just look way cooler dyed.

Below I put a few of my fabric flowers to use decorating vintage embroidery hoops. I love that one of them says "Myrtle" on the inside:
Above: Recycled jelly jars, stuffed with colorful ribbons and mostly vintage sewing notions; destined for your craft table.

Below: Pretty painted egg cartons. Soon these will be stuffed with our collections of baby goodies (socks, antique spoons, wooden blocks, etc.) and will be making their way to a baby shower near you.
P.S. Thank you all so so much for saying such kind words about our house. I'm still waiting for it to sink in--it still feels too good to be true. We are crazy blessed and just overwhelmingly thankful that God has--in one gal's words--dropped this home in our laps. Once the dust settles later this summer, you're all invited over for tea and crumpets served over a vintage table cloth. xo
