Come Junk With Us Giveaway!

Sue Whitney is a living doll. No, seriously, she IS.

We met her this weekend at RotP, chatting over dinner about our son's Maui wedding that night and her FABulous JunkMarketStyle web community. Then she stopped by our booth and we chatted some more, about shows and magazines and more fun stuff. She's on a whirlwind tour of shows across the country right now, sharing ideas for 'Junk Decor' and promoting her JunkMarket events.... tireless, I tell ya! Sistah is preachin' the gospel of Junk to the masses!

And then, at the end of a very busy day, she took time to sign one of her books for me AND get a photo taken - which is really sayin' something. I mean, she's gorgeous, but we all tend to wear down a bit on a hot show day. Just look at that smile on her! (Don't look at me, I blinked!) Thank you, Sue, for being such a giving person.

Yes, she signed THIS book.. with a personalized message for one of the lucky attendees of the Come Junk With Us Junk Junket to the Farm Chicks Show. Because we are donating it to Timi for her CJWU giveaways on the Junk Bus!

So, if you want a shot at this book and a slew of other perks, make sure you get your tickets {only three days left to do so!} and GET ON THE BUS {that's my version of Ty Pennington} to the Farm Chicks show!

What a Show!

We had a WONDERFUL time at the Remnants of the Past Antique Show this weekend! What a pleasure to be in such good company, among new friends and so many beautiful treasures that it boggled the mind. We are so blessed to have been a part of Judy's incredible world.

Here are a few photos of our booth... more are on our Facebook Page!

Can you even imagine a more perfect setting for a show?! We can't!
{OK, well, except for our own farm!}

Showtime!

Today was set up day at the Remnants of the Past show in Nipomo, California... can you SEE the sunset reflected in the mirror above?

And let's talk about the orchards of LEMON trees, perfectly placed to add the perfect natural accent to our displays. And the fragrance of those blossoms.... oh, lawdy, I SWOON!

No, that unripe lemon is not a prop. That's where the branch ended up popping forward out of the tree behind the cash wrap. Incredible. I could not have planned it better myself!

This place is astounding... everywhere you turn, it's a photo op. And that's just the farm, barn, gardens and historic home. Add 50 of the best vendors we've ever SEEN and it's just eye candy everywhere. There was a fabulous dinner party this evening in the gardens. Photos of that next week!

It's been a long, busy day working in hot sun (YAY!) getting everything in our orchard-side booth just so. There are some very and I DO mean VERY special guests attending this show. {I can't tell you who they are because then I'd have to kill you. ;0) } OK, you know about the fabulous Sue Whitney of JunkMarket - SHE'S a VIP. And an absolute doll - we met her tonight at dinner. A couple of magazines. And... I heard to day that her highness will be in attendance. She's on a West Coast tour right now. She's very .... chic. Yes. That's all I can say. ;0)

And to top it ALL off, tonight at 8:30 PM, we watched our only son get married on a beach in Maui! Yes, via the wonders of the Internet, family participated via web cam as they said their vows and became husband and wife. We welcome our 'fourth daughter' with open arms and full hearts!

Yep, it's been a busy day... and things aren't about to slow down any time soon!!! We hope we get to see you at the show tomorrow!

Retreat @ Remnants

 {Retreat will be located in booth #12, on the grass}

We'd like to thank Judy for such a gracious post about us and Retreat Style... {head over here if you'd like to read it}. We are looking forward to next weekend's event - in just one short week, we'll be arriving in Nipomo, California for the show!
