This weekend was our Annual Summer Farmgirl Sisters Cottage Sale took place and the addition of our new barn added to the atmosphere and fun of the event.
Our cottage had new look, a little more vintage, lots more room to rummage through the fun, the antiques and collectibles. So many new pieces of furniture including a to die for butcher block that sold right away, and dozens of new shabby chic items, made it a very fun sale. We had a lot of repeat visitors who have become farmgirl friends, and many, many new shoppers, including our new friends, The Prairie Chicks who drove down from Lebanon, MO, and arrived at 7:30AM, which means they had to have left home around 5:30AM! Wow, talk about dedication to the art of Barn Sale shopping!
and the added space of the new barn, allowed for more furniture and treasures
The best part of the weekend was Saturday when we hosted our first Junque in Your Trunk Sale and our friends who came to sell brought such fabulous treasures. They were shopping among themselves as they set up!
Renee and her Mom brought such cute things, and her Mom’s treasures were Country and Primitives and she told me she was downsizing and soon to switch to a Shabby Chic décor, she was so sweet and we just love Renee and all the support she gives the Farmgirl Sisters.
Our newest Farmgirl Sister Lynn was unable to participate this time around, she had a previous commitment and was missed, but oh the treasures she brought to the cottage were scrumptious. We look forward to having her touch in our October sale.
Our friends from the Memory Barn in Kimberling City loaded up their fabulous vintage farm truck with such treasures, WOW! They made a great cornerstone to the set up.
It was hot, hot, hot and we’re sure that put a little damper on shoppers, and we were all pretty wilted by 2:00PM, but what fun we had. It was great camaraderie and everyone shared such fabulous ideas for our October sale! It will surely be bigger, better, and more fun.
Here are some pictures of the fun
