SUMMER MARKET

So how was everyone's Memorial Day weekend? Did you everyone have a good one? We did. I did my first market for the summer on Saturday and it was pretty good. Usually the first one is slow, but this year was a little better. I sold a few of hubby's burl bowls that are new this year. I think they will do well.

We did have a disaster at the market though. We set up by the river and it can get quite windy there and Saturday we had terrible winds! There was even a high wind warning.

So I am sure you know what happened......yep..............tents flying everywhere including mine and we all have them staked down good too. What happened is a big gust of wind came along and picked the tents up and threw them around. One vendor even dove on her tent to keep it from rolling into the street! Luckily we were all taking down and packing up so all our items were packed away. So needless to say my tent was all broken up, but.....my trusty Mr. McGiever hubby as rebuilt it and reinforced it so I am good to go for next week!

Also wanted to let you know that the Old Farmhouse Gathering team celebration is still going on this week so you can click on over here to join us this week. Or just type SCOFG in the Etsy search bar to see all the goodies. :)

 Have a great week! :)

LET THE SHOPPING BEGIN!!......

I hope everyone's weekend was good. We finished our first of several outdoor projects for the summer this weekend. We built another storage shed. Funny how it seems that you can never have enough storage area. :)

I have a busy week this week getting everything finished up for the start of the summer market season and getting ready for all the shoppers visiting our market. Speaking of shopping (like how I just played right into that :))......the Old Farmhouse Gathering Team's Summer Celebration has officially started. It will run from May 19th through June 1st. So if you are wanting to see some very nice items from this wonderful team just head on over here to see everything! Lots of Americana and patriotic gifts this time and great summer stuff too. You can also go to Etsy and type SCOFG in the search bar and all the treasures will be there for you to browse through. 

So please come join us in the Summer Celebration and shop until you drop!!! Here is a little sample of what you will see there.....

SUMMER MARKET AND SHOPPING

The past two weeks have been so hectic around here! I am wrapping up everything getting ready for the summer market season so I haven't been able to be here visiting for a couple of weeks.....bad, bad, bad. :(

I think I have most everything ready. Needed to paint a few of the props as the are getting kind of beat up. Look nice and clean now I think....

This is the last of the pot holders getting ready to be put into the plastic tubs. 

Still need to finish up these little ornaments. They are new this year. We always try to come up with something new each year. This year were the ornaments for me.....

And for hubby it is Alaskan Birch bowls. I think these will do real well or at least I hope they will. :)

So I think I got a good head start this year. The past few years I have spent most of my summer in my sewing room trying to keep up with products (which is a good thing!), but I miss out on my summer and being outside so this year I decided I was GOING to be ahead of the game for a change. 


Also wanted to let you know that the Old Farmhouse Gathering team is having their Summer Celebration staring Monday! There will be a lot of new items from this wonderful and talented team so I hope you plan on attending the celebration. I will be posting the link starting Monday morning so stay tuned. :)

Have a great weekend! :)
