Barn House & Willow Nest Collaboration!!!

Have you ever seen grown men cry?? Well, The Boys of Barn House are often overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity, support and love that is bestowed on us. This week was again was of those times. From the moment they met us, Linda and Ludmil opened their arms and hearts, nurtured and guided us, and stepped out on a limb for us. For them to DRIVE FOUR DAYS FROM TEXAS to do a show with little ol' us means more than we can express...and as a result came the challenge of holding back the tears.
They didn't have to do this show with us...they didn't have to invite their close friends & loyal customers to introduce them to Barn House...and they certainly didn't have to help us create such a magical event. L & L, we love you and thank you for everything!! Tears, Tears, and MORE Tears. So this is how it all went down...click on pictures to enlarge...



















We can't remember her name, but this pretty little girl got to hold her first chicken! How precious is this???
AND, it wouldn't be a Barn House event without at least one creepy doll lurking around...this one has a special "weave" courtesy of Shug Avery (the black sheep of our little family).

We also MUST thank all of our friends who came out on one of the hottest days of the year to visit with us, shop and eat homemade cupcakes!!! We LOVE y'all and hope you had a wonderful time...sweating, laughing and maybe even crying with us. :o)

Check out the slideshow for more pictures!! OK...got to go...this is my ONLY day off until the next week. Joe is already out shopping for more stuff to add to the already huge stash we have been hiding away for August 23rd (NEXT SATURDAY). Oh La La...Joyce, Natalie and Sylvi all gave us an earful today about all of the treasures THEY are bringing too!! Must get rest...here we go AGAIN!! Hope to see you on Saturday!!! :o)

WOW, it DOES look like magic. Wish I could've been there. Diane's was great too, DRAT that they were on the same weekend! :( I may be doing my jewelry next week at a show with Joy in Oregon City, so I know I won't be able to see you in awhile! Until then, take care, and have fun.

p.s. Bet MY torture chamber is worse than your torture chamber! We'll have to swap "real" job stories!
HUGS.

It looks like your had another fabulous show and I'm so sad I didn't just drive down there. Worse yet...........I missed out on Cupcakes! DAMN!
I'm keeping my eye on you two, trying to find an event that I can get to!
Thank you for great pictures of your events. They always make me want to attend.

I can tell it was a fabulous sale, with the just the right touch of Barn House magic, I'm sure!!

Gorgeous!! The sale looks like it was so lovely and I'm dreaming of making it to one of your sales someday. I told my sister who is by Seattle that she MUST go to one of your upcoming sales. Best wishes to the Barn House Boys!
