Fresh from the Farm Chicks
My Mom and I had the best time ever at this year's Farm Chicks Antique Show. The event was filled to the gills. Here's one of two lines to get in– after the show had already been open for an hour!
As soon as we entered the event, we saw this amazing display. It's a giant "cake" made out of… well… I actually don't know but it was cool. It was there as an advertisement for a bakery named (you guessed it) "Cake" in neighboring Cheney.
Here are some of the lovely sights I saw and the names of the vendors to go with them:
From JOHNbob
From Heather Bullard
More from Orange Crush
And then a special treat. Jo Packham from Where Women Create was there, signing her book and copies of her stunning magazine. You don't have to be into antiques or crafting to get a lot out of these publications. The messages are inspiration, encouragement, community and believing in yourself. Oh and there's lots of eye candy and fodder for daydreaming. Here's Jo with Serena… THE Farm Chick!
And here's yours truly… with some scary "I've been driving straight for five hours straight" hair and makeup. That semi-wild look in my eye is happiness because the show was so good!
Since I was on "Special Assignment" hee hee from Vintage Indie Magazine, I took the opportunity to ask Jo what advice she has for women who have a creative stirring but feel afraid to act on it:
Jo was about the warmest person you could ever hope to meet. She has that "lit from within" quality people have when they are living a life they love. As for the Farm Chicks Show– I'm just getting warmed up. I have a lot more to share with you this week. I'm also contributing more FC stuff over at Vintage Indie Magazine. Let me leave you with some sweet words Jo wrote inside my "Where Women Create" book:
Believe in guardian angels,
Unexpected miracles,
The power of hard work,
The love of a forever friend,
And the magic of a four leaf clover!
Wowweeeee! I am green with envy. It looks like you had a fabulous time! Love the interview with Jo. She seems lovely!
Wow! So much cool stuff in one place. I probably would have gone a bit crazy. I love all the antique glasses!
Wow, I would have loved to go to something like that! So cool! Following you from Tuesday Tag Along!
Hi! I’m visiting from Tuesday Tag Along. I’m following you on Twitter now. That show looks really cool. It must have been tons of fun. Have a great week!
How fun was that show!! I loved the vintage skeleton keys. I can’t wait to see what else you post.
I feel the same way about cute clothes of my kids – hate to part with them. And the farm chicks show – I am super jealous! I have always wanted to go. It figures they start this after I leave Washington state! Oh well – maybe someday!
Did you get anything good??
