Family, Barns and SHOPPING!

So I had a bit of a hectic weekend. Friday started out with a
family get together to visit with my Mom's cousin and her
Mom, who had driven over from Idaho. Of course we had to
throw in a little shopping. We hit the two Cowgirl shops in
town, one was a new discovery, recently opened.

Then on Saturday morning, it was up and at em' bright and
early to get on the road to attend this...

This was something new that I discovered while blogging and
just knew I wanted to go. The Barn House Hosts do several
events a year and this one was hosted at their home in
Battle Ground, WA. They also have a blog, where I discovered
them. You can find it HERE.

I managed to talk several other family members into going, so
by the time we all met up, we were a group of 8, including
my 9 year old nephew, Most Handsome Man who has been
staying for the week. I thought he would be bored, but that
kid is a shopper, let me tell you! His Mama has trained him up
well!

So after a couple hours on the road, we pulled up to this
spectacular event. The Barn House Flea Market. We were
all enormously impressed and fell in love at first sight. All of
vendors had such fun, creative and interesting things to look
at. Lots of eye candy for sure, everywhere you looked. I
didn't actually come away with anything, except for ideas
for creating some of my own things. It was however well
worth going to going to and heaps of fun. I would go back,
especially since my Uncle discovered a shorter route that
would knock at least 20 minutes off the trip!

So I've laid out a pictorial stroll through the Barn House Flea
Market for you. I hope you enjoy it and I'll catch up with you
again at the bottom of the post...







































I'd like to thank the Hosts Joe and Jermonne for gifting us
with such a wonderful experience. It had to be an enormous
amount of work and heart that went in to pulling something
so special together. Thank you to all the vendors as well, it
was so much fun to see all the beautiful things you had to
offer!

Even though I came away from the Barn House empty
handed, all was not lost! There was an Antique Fest closer to
home I went to on Sunday and I found a few treasures there!
I'll be sure to show them to you later. I am now, officially, all
shopped out at the moment. I'll have to rest up for the next
round! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend too, I can't
wait to hear about it!
