Update (Monday) Donna of Funky Junk Interiors posted her view of the Market HERE. Enjoy !
The Olde Farmhouse pictures (update added June 4) HERE
The two collages below are from an earlier Market.
Collages were made thanks to Picnik
(no longer available but it was a wonderful collage program).
The turnout was stupendous - It opened at 9:00 am and only a few distant parking spaces left when I got there at 10:30 (the venue has tons of parking as it is part of Planet Ice which hosts many large venues). The 90+ booths both in the barns and outside were crowded by shoppers finding great collectibles. The weather was warm with a breeze, popcorn and coffee wagons were on site as were vegetarian and non vegetarian offerings.
(collage below is from an earlier Market)
I saw a small stools, bird cages, painted ladders, aprons, bunting, vintage metal, rocking chairs, long height measuring boards, painted frames, picnic baskets, small and large painted furniture, long and short painted signs, books, toys, wagons, trikes, canning jars, table cloths, chalk like paint, wreaths, lamps, kitchenware, fabrics, hand make jewelry, painting and stencilling supplies and on an on and on being carried out. Armloads of great finds.
I went specifically to meet Donna of Funky Junk Interiors and to buy more of her stencils. I also went to buy CeCe Caldwell painting supplies. Here is a picture of Donna's signs from from Facebook where you can see lots of pictures of the Market from Saturday. Read here for Donna's description of the Market (before).
Below are the signs Donna had on display at one end of her double tent. Erika from NEU Skin Botanicals shared Donna's tent and helping Donna put up stencilled signs.
I forgot to bring my camera so no fresh pictures of the Market :(
I borrowed this photo from The Olde Farmhouse FB page. It is a great 'before' picture. This is barn # 1 of 2 and it DID NOT rain so all the vendors who had their tents outside as well as all the visitors were thrilled. Their past photos can be seen here and I think that photos from Saturday will be added soon by the hosts.
I shopped (and brought my smallest wheeled suitcase to make shopping comfortable). From the CeCe Caldwell's booth I added to my supplies with Simply White Chalk-Clay paint, a Walnut Grove stain I wanted to try, a Dover White wash that mixes well with coloured paint, a small jar of Alaskan Tundra (green), 2 new brushes, more clear wax and 5 new stencils (from Donna of Funky Junk Interiors). Fun ahead.

ReplyDeleteToo bad the market is moving further away, maybe it can become a day trip from time to time with lunch out. :-)
