Filling The Barn

I have had a wonderful day today.  I spent the day with my daughter shopping for her birthday.  She had taken the day off and wanted to go to Nashville shopping for her birthday which is Sunday.  It is hard for me to believe she will be 26 years old.  Where does the time go?  Of course I was late picking her up this morning because I went to the barn to look with Knox to see if I could come up with any more booth spaces.  I am working on it!!!

I never dreamed I would have filled the barn for my sale but I HAVE!! I have 34 vendors for THE HAYLOFT BARN SALE!!! WHEW WHOOOO!!!!  I even have a vendor that might have to set up outside if I don't have anymore spaces under roof. so 35 vendors.  I can't wait for ya'll to come out and shop-what a selection for you to choose from.  So start saving up girls and plan on starting your christmas shopping early this year.  I think you will have a great time.  Thursday night will be sneak peak -Tim Daley will be playing for you while you shop and will have Red Top Bar-b-Que to eat. Should be a fun evening!! Then you can always come back on Friday or Saturday if you forgot something.

I am working on the floor plan now and hope to post next week with vendor names.  So I just had to share with everyone my wonderful news of filling the barn. 
Goodnight and have a blessed weekend!!

The Strawberry Patch Barn Sale and a few notes

I know I have been bad about not writing on my blog and posting.  I have been busy trying to get everything ready at the barn.  I have worked on the lower part of the barn with putting a wall down the middle to separate the booths.  Made it with tobacco sticks.  Really like the way it looks.
Had a wonderful Labor Day weekend with my wonderful friends from Alabama who came up.  We had a wonderful visit and just really enjoyed catching up.  The sad part they lost their mother on Tuesday after they were here.  She was the most precious and gracious lady you would ever meet.  Full of life and the kindest person.  She will be missed but heaven got the best angel. So I made a short trip to Alabama to be with them for a couple of days.

Now I have been so excited about " The Strawberry Patch" Barn Sale.  It was everything I expected and more.  Christy does a fantantic job.  I took a good friend with me Vonell, Whitney(my daughter) and Jessica(my niece).  They loved it.  We went on Saturday and have a lovely day.  When we got there we decided we needed to eat right away.  Great food from the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cafe and Everyday Gourmet.  We all shopped at all the wonderful vendors Christy had putted together.  So if you didn't go you need to put it on your calendar for the spring sale that is the 4th weekend of April.  I think she really out did herself this time because everything about it was lovely.  When you drove up she had the cutest welcoming display
with a beautiful setting.
The location is a beautiful farm setting so you know I like that.


The sale was full of vintage finds, repurposed items and art.  So you need to put it on your calendar for next year. Get you girlfriends together and plan a  day of fun and shopping.  Well worth the trip.We all left with a few purchases and a great time together.
Great job CHRISTY and THE STRAWBERRY PATCH Vendors.


So now I will begin to finish my work on The Hayloft Barn Sale and hope you put it your calendar to come.  I have really gone beyond my expectations for my first sale.  Excited does not even begin to describe my excitement.  I cannot wait and my thanks again to Christy for helping me.  I hope you plan to attend and find you something special from all these great vendors that work so hard.  I will post a listing of the vendors in the coming weeks.  Thanks ya'll and hope to see you soon.
