"You know, every now and then I think you might like to hear something from us...nice & easy. BUT there's just one thing, you see. We NEVER-EVER do nothin' Nice & Easy...we always do it Nice & and Rough!" ;o)
It would be very hard for me to say we started our season "nice and easy." Especially considering it was our best, yet most difficult "production" to date...including all of the theatrics/drama leading up to the opening. But guess what?!?!? Our BIGGEST venture just is right around the corner!!! Over TWENTY of THE BEST collectors/designers/artists/friends inside and outside of The Barn. And how could we not include The Barn House Layering Effect (Bake Off, Cook Off and tent decorating contest for some friends/family/dealers that are staying with us (15+), The Barn People Pre & After Party, etc). And there's more....
So of course we have been adding more layers...building picket fences, building a new structure for The Boys of BH, landscaping new territories, cleaning up all of the trifling chaos in The Barn, taming a wild baby goat and 3 new kittens, ETC, ETC, ETC. Stuff is getting done, but it's going to be a mad dash to the finish line (to say the least).
We are soooo excited to announce our lineup for The 2009 Barn House Flea Market. I can't say enough about how special these folks are to us...
Tarte (aka The Queen of Tarte, The King of Tarte and The Barn People)

The rush is upon us...stay tuned for more sneak peaks and SPECIAL DIRECTIONS (there is a road closure nearby on Ward so you will NEED new directions--even if you have been here several times).

P.S. -- The Boys are trying to find time to rehearse our rendition of Tina & Ike's Proud Mary for The Flea...The Barn House Layering Effect at its finest. The BIG BATTLE now is who gets to be Tina. LOL ;o)

Good luck! I hope you have a great show. I have still never had the pleasure of attending your shows. And it seems that it may be a while before I do get the opportunity (I am sadly, closing my shop), but I know someday, I will fianlly get to meet you. I can only hope it will be soon.
I have never been to one of your shows but I am dying to attend. I cannot wait.

Oh how I wish I could be there.
Good luck and have a ball!!
I am going to try my hardest to make it to the show at the opening. I want to get there before everything is sold this time.
I'm also going to try and make it before all the stuff is gone... Just joshing with ya!!
You KNOW I will be early, and it will be a FIRST!! Maybe you should start looking for us Thursday pm,so you won't be shocked to death when you see us Friday am...
You know it takes time to get Dumbo and the whole circus train, loaded, decorated and ready to ROLL!
I won't forget the video camera for Tina's debut!
xoxo
JOY!
Looking great Boys! No offense Jermonne, but I vote Joe as Tina! Either way, I know you boys will rock it!
Tee hee hee.... ;)

This Barn Bash sounds more and more exciting with each post. I am so bummed that Lisa and I will have to miss attending. We have to stay home and be responsible business owners!
Thanks for the updates. I so look forward to more. Maybe a YouTube clip of the Ike and Tina number!
Beth of Salvage Studio
I am sitting here dumbfounded with a look like Tina Fey when she says,"I want to go to there." I think I am going to finagle a way to get up that way!
I will be there!!! Can't wait!!
oh boy, oh boy this will be a really fantastic show that i will be missing, I am so sad and I will be CRYING A river, all of those amazing dealers and miss rebekah too...sigh...good luck, can't wait to see all of the photos..send those little kittens my way, I will take good care of them while you are busy creating! :)
AWESOME! I'm missing it already!

I don't know how I've missed your blog up until now, I must be slipping! Wish I were in that part of the country so that I could attend!
Just take turns being Tina! I would gladly be a backup dancer if I were closer. In the meantime, just keep it rollin'. I know it will all look amazing and totally inspirational.
Debbie
I will have to "live" your sale through your pictures...so keep em coming! (take time to breathe first...it gets crazy before a sale)
It looks like another great sale and fun time! Wishing you the best.
Kathy
Love the Proud Mary on the blog - you must post video of your rendition!! Looking forward to seeing pics - oh how I wish I could be there ....

Hey Hey Hey... I would like to disagree with the Duchess girls NOT having a blog... we have one!! It is just in the beginning and even though we suck we DO have one. Can't wait for the show, we are so excited!!
Wish I could be there to share the experience~ Planning on going to the next one ;) Doing my first show at "The French Market Days" the same weekend~

OH LORD!!! It looks like I better bring The Hubs brand spankin new credit card! I'm so excited to come down for this. I always enjoy seeing what you two have been up to and all the fabulousness that you create.
Can't wait
I am heartbroken to not be able to come. Alas, I am a country away. Looks like it will be yet another incredible event!
My friend and I are making the trip down and are looking forward to it.
I so wish I could make it! I bet it's going to be fabulous! Good luck to you boys! Take lots of pictures!!!
