We have been a bit obsessed with getting our garden in order as soon as possible this year. The main reason is because our opening event will be centered on vintage garden treasures. And what better way to enhance the “Barn House Experience” than to offer our guests a garden tour and home-grown veggies!
So here we were in the rain this weekend getting the gates up and planting the first round of Bok Choy, Cabbage, Walla Walla Onions, Garlic, Brussel Sprouts, Kale, Cilantro and an enormous amount of Sweet Peas. Hopefully this week we can get to the green-leafy stuff and some of the flower beds??
Joe has also been roaming the country side looking for other treasures. This week he found some wonderful old iron beds with the original railings AND box springs.
The barn is quickly filling up with all kinds of wonderful one-of-a-kind finds! Please excuse our dust…this is just the beginning of a little “magic” in the making. :o)
If only we could stop hoarding items for ourselves!! This is a picture of one of the corner cabinets in our kitchen. Fortunately, our personal collections for the house are pretty much complete…we promise to save the best of the new finds for Barn House!

Fabulous! Seeing the picture of the barn filling up with goodies made my heart beat a little faster. Can't wait to shop! Love the vegetable idea as well.
Hope it's okay if next time I do some updating I add you to my favorites. Thanks for the kind words. I need to heed my own advice after having to deal with my pooch who rolled in something wonderful this morning! It's truly been a "monday"! Take care, Martha

Wow guys - this is looking really cool - I had no idea you had such a big operation planned. I need to get up there and see it myself one of these days! (But I'm afraid of how much $$ I'd spend)
I have a bed frame exactly like the one pictured (from the 30's or 40's) from when I was growing up!

Areas of Responsibility...... Hillarious!! Everything looks great. I am looking forward to hearing about your success. Love you -Lilly
Wish I lived closer, having raised chickens in the past your shots of the little fuzzballs makes me long for them again...or maybe I am just wishful thinkin', nice blog. Best wishes,Sharon
I told you I was going to poke around! :)
LOVE your vintage garden - and so glad to see that you are being creative in the garden, because your visitors for sales, etc, will see how they can do it too!
Inspiration is truly a gift - and thanks for giving.
Okay, I bring the pickup! See you on Saturday. Don't sell anything until I getthere!
Myself and 3 of my gretest friends will be coming to your big event this weekend, and we can hardly wait. I am the proud owner of my little shop in Oakridge OR and even prouder of my 1949 Pink Dodge Truck that we will be driving to your event! See you soon.
