It was our first time at the show, but we can certainly see why people travel from all over the world for The Farm Chicks!!! The show was absolutely incredible, to say the least. Terri and Serena were everything you could imagine them to be...and even more beautiful in person than the lovely pictures in their books/blog/website. We can't imagine how they have managed to pick 139 of the most creative, wonderful and inspiring vendors this side of the Mississippi. It was such an honor to be a part of this show. It was almost TOO MUCH to handle! Thank you Terri and Serena for inviting us!!! :o)
OK..we are completely exhausted from all of the fun we had (like everyone seems to be)...so I will have to share more pix (we have tons) and tell you about our Caravan to/from Spokane with The King and Queen, the Caravan Walkie-Talkie nightmare for Cindy (trucker-talk b/t the boys...poor Cindy), show set-up drama and...THE BARN PEOPLE PARTY (BH, Tarte and Chaps) we hosted for 150+ of our closest friends/family/customers. Yes, we are out of control!!!! And it's why I absolutely must get some hammock time today--we had waaaaaaaaaay too much fun @ The Farm Chicks!!
More to come...

You guys had an awesome display, great to meet you! jen
LOVE LOVE LOVE your setup there!! It was my favorite one and I love my little glass urn that I bought- thanks! Hope to see you there again next year!
You guys are something else. I just keep wondering when I will get to finally see some of your magic. Will you be going to the Texas show in the fall?
Loved, Loved, Loved being with you and the rest of the gang at Farm Chicks. Our hearts are near bursting! Talk/see ya soon...
It was so nice to meet you at the farm chicks show, hope you guys can drive up to ours this weekend!

Oh my gosh, your booth was over the top!! You guys are so talented. Please come and share your talent with us Texans. BTW, if these apothecary bottles are still for sale, I might interested. Please let me know (garden_antqs@yahoo.com). Hope you had a great show, Theresa
Welcome home to the farm, boys!
I'm SOOOOO proud of you & from all the gushes I read about you in blogland, you guys were a HIT at The Farm Chicks!!!!!
Take it easy;- spend the day in the hammock......
It's happening at home next time, right!!
Love you,
Sylvi
It was so much fun getting to know you boys better! I came home feeling so happy and lucky that my favorite booths at the show were the vendors from my neck of the woods! Your booth looked so great! I also want to thank you for the fun night at Chaps! Now go put your feet up and relax!

I'm already trying to figure out how to go next year -
how very well put together your space looked! and that's coming from a carpenter's wife....
it's so hard to try to encapsulate the 'barn' feeling with no barn! but you totally did it....awesome.
Love the buckets!!! Unfortunately i was unable to make it this year. But next year it's a date :)
In my little opinion I thought you had the best booth there...and I mean the BEST!!!
I had such fun buying breakables from you so I could try to get them home on an airplane that I only packed carry on for. Sheesh..it appears I have gobs to learn.
Thanks for hosting me at your party. It was quite memorable...and so was the next day :)
Amy
Definitely a highlight of the weekend - spending time with the two of you! Absolutely fabulous (yes, I am stealing Brooke's word) and I can't wait to share photos with you~ I will be posting photos from your party tomorrow.

It looks amazing...I might just have to run away from home to get to your next show. Take care of those ducks and cows! :) KIM
I so wanted to be there, even had my reservation, just wasn't meant to be this year. One of these days they are going to actually get it right with the surgery on my foot and then there will be no stopping me : ) I am in love with the buckets "enjoy the journey" so so sweet. I am glad you had a good weekend!
Kathy
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!
Duckys, y'all just outdid yourselves. The displays...the merchandise...all the work!!! So many ideas to steal, I mean borrow!
I am thoroughly impressed and after 20 years in the biz, I don't impress easy!
Debbie
You guys are so talented.. congratulations :)
Good gosh your booth was amazing. And now I wish I would have introduced myself as a lurker on your blog...
Hoping to make it to your event next!

Hi BH Boys! It was so wonderful to meet you and chat and that party was AWESOME! I am still exhausted and haven't even uploaded my pics yet, but soon...too bad work gets in the way. Big hugs to both of you!
Glad you all traveled safe to and from! I love seeing the photos, since I couldn't go, whaaa, but want to put it on my list for next year hopefully.
What an amazing booth you did. Wow!
I want to get down to your Barn for a sale too!

It was our first Farm Chick experience too, and was everything and more that we were told it would be!I do believe the "Best in show" award goes to you! It was great to finally meet you and hope to get down to some of your BH shows this summer.

When is the next caravan??? I wouldn't travel any other way. Thanks for the laughs and the stunts. Oh yes, I think I found my elephant! xoxo
Wow are you guys amazing with your displays! Isn't it wonderful that today so many talented people out there are displaying vintage items,antiques, repurposed items in a way that is not only pleasing, but meant to be handled and enjoyed! No more boring line-ups....Here's hoping that you both can make it to Matilda's Mouse in San Diego one day!And that likewise we all can head up your way!
Best Regards,
Gale
Wow....when you get spammed, you get spammed good!
Loved seeing you at FC. Your display rocked the show. Wish I could have joined the after party fun at Chaps.
Few, welcome home!!! I bet that was a whirlwin of a weekend for you guys! Your both was AWESOME and I so wish I hah spent more time shopping in just your booth! Although I don't know how I would have gotten half the stuff home on a plane, but it so would have been worth the try and the laughs! Get some rest...see you next year!
I had way to much fun with you and the tartes this weeknd!! You are fabulous hosts, and boys extrordinaire! Now go get in that hammock!!
xoxo, Tiffany

Love you Barn People! I so wish I could have made it to the show. One of these days I am going to make it down to your Barn sale and will properly call you the Barn House fellas and will bring you some moonshine to make up for calling you Barn People at Sandpoint.My brain was frozen along with my manners. Much love and hope to meet you one of these days.
Much love,
Julie
You are both such SPECIAL SPIRIT's. As if your booth wasn't fantastic enough Chap's was over the top. Perfection is being humble. You bless us all.
Deep Gratitude, Erin

You guys sure know how to throw together a booth space...It was amazing! We had fun watching all the gals flocking to your booth for 2 days... Your farm looks amazingly peaceful, what a great place to land after a whirl wind weekend at the farm chicks.
okay, THAT looks like a ton of fun. I adore your displays, and products.

See you next year.

Buongiorno Boys,
it looks incredible! Ciao
Thank You for commenting on my blog. Joe let me know what size, type and number of ferns you want(sword, maidenhair, etc.) I'll dig some up so they can adjust and thrive. Enjoyed seeing you both at Tarte as always, Erin
Hello my sweet friend! It was great to see you and Joe on Saturday too! I've missed you. I am SO hoping to come to the Flea. I'll let you know by early next week if that's okay. Oh, thanks for introducing us to Olivia too. I think she thinks you are her Mom now! She only wants you.
Hugs Hugs,
Sheila
Wow your giveaway is amazing. I would love to win any of the three, but would love the middle size the most. My birthday is on the 6th. Wouldn't it be a fabulous surprise to win. I just popped over to your blog from another and love it. I will definately be following you now. Thanks for your generosity to whoever wins. Sharon

Hello Dahlink! It was so great to see you at Cindy's barn. How is your new Olivia doing? She sure is cute (as goats go...)! Thank you so much for the yummy judging invite, last year was so much fun! Sadly, (I Mean SADLY!) we won't be able to come. I have a class scheduled in Chehalis that day and had paid for it quite some time ago. I'm SO sad I won't see you at your 2nd Annual! Much Love and Best Wishes for a wonderful show!
Love,
Sheila
Such amazing pictures, I wish I wasn't all the way on the east coast!
You guys are the best! :) Love your shows.
