Farm Chicks Show!!!



Well fellow bloggers...if you ever get the opportunity to come to this amazing show (garage sale shopping on STEROIDS!!!) you must put it on your bucket list!! If you would like to see their website go to my sister's blog @ In a Garden to read her post on the show and get the link.

We've started a new family tradition, every year we'll make time for this special weekend, and staying at the historical "Davenport" hotel, down town Spokane and attending the "Farm Chicks Show" at the fair grounds. I will do a second post on our stay at the "Davenport" and our visit to my sister's favorite rose nursery in Spokane...stay tuned for that.

The "Farm Chicks" show is always a two day event, if your brave enough to go the first day and stand in line for hours, then do it, you won't be disappointed. We decided to go to an "Art Walk" (down town Spokane) first and then hit the farm show about 2 hours after it opened, smart, we only stood in line for about 10 min. And then we were off....it was CRAZY fun!!! My photos will speak for themselves. Every booth was better than the one before, and yes we did find treasures. Not too much, we were so overwhelmed with all the "eye candy", and trying not to loose each other in the process. Our cameras were clicking the entire time, who had time to purchase anything, well...we did!  :)

Enjoy the show....

The displays in each booth were done so well!
Don't throw away your linens, or old lamp shades, take a look at this idea!
I was trying to focus on the feathers strung above the lady's head. 
Did you notice the vintage chair and tables painted silver/gold, I've not seen this look before, I like it.

I'd love to go one of these years. But in the meantime...I'll just be content with your photos. It looks like a great event!

Beautiful pictures! Doesn't looking at everyone's pictures make you want to go back? There was so much I missed! :) I see you're from Philipsburg- we go there every year! Such a small world!

Fantastic pictures! Glad that you found things to take home and make your own. That old car...wouldn't that be great in a garden large enough to accomodate it?
