As the date gets closer
to our 5th Annual Vintage & Antique Marketplace, Joe and I
have been reminiscing about how special this journey has been to us.
We have met so many incredibly beautiful people over the years, many of
whom have had a tremendous impact on our lives. Because our events are
hosted at our home, which is the most sacred place to us, it is a very intimate
endeavor. When we left Los Angeles over six years ago and decided to move
onto a farm in SW Washington, our goal was to create home filled with love and
positive energy - a place where our family and friends could visit and really
feel the love in our hearts and enjoy the little slice of
heaven we created for ourselves. So when we started Barn House and began hosting special events on
our farm, we wanted our guests and customers to feel the same way.
And we
truly feel our business has grown so quickly, not only because of the great
items available for sale, but also because of what we like to call
The Barn
House Experience.
It’s the treasures, the delicious food, the music, the
local wines and beers, the friendly chickens-llamas-turkeys-goats-sheep, the
hugs, the inspiration, the smiles, the laughter, the peace and the love. Each year the audience grows. We have received more press and magazine features than we could have ever imagined.
But, certainly, we can’t
take all of the credit.
This is a collaborative effort that involves many
people.
Each of our “Featured Invited Guests” brings something very
exceptional and unique to the table. Their talents, as well as
blood-sweat-tears, have continued to elevate our show to higher levels year-after-year.
Recently, we were even listed in the Top 20 Flea Markets in
the country by
I can’t express how much
love we have for these folks for their continued support and friendship.
They are undoubtedly the best of the best!!! It is such an honor and pleasure to
have them at our home every summer. We often get asked by people,
“I would love to do your show, how do I sign up?” There is no sign up
sheet and we hope our response is never taken personally.
We have a very limited space with no expansion or venue changing plans.
We host here at our home, which is what makes it all so personal and distinctive.
It just is what it is. And we love it!
It is very important to us to be overly protective about maintaining and
nurturing a particular dynamic.
It is magical. It is extraordinary. Pure Love.
It is not uncommon for many of us to be a bit teary-eyed by the overwhelming love in the air during set-up, the show. and when we must say good-bye until next time. After all, it is our annual Barn House Family Reunion, right? No pretense. No drama. Just love for each other and a celebrating of our collective accomplishments and why we work our asses off in this crazy micro-industry. And this year, we are very pleased to have been able to invite some new folks whom we have been stalking over the years and we are sure they will enhance The BH Experience even more. EPIC!
