It is good to be back, and I find it no coincidence that my first blog post of 2016 is on the day of the new moon (new moon = creative energy). I don't have as much time as I would like to polish my writing these days, so please pardon the rustiness - my style of writing now matches my decor.<br />

I've been lacking inspiration and topics to post on as it is a rare day that I get to go antiquing, but this past weekend was a special occasion as Rachel, one of my bestest friends, came to visit from Chicago. She is a die-hard Joanna Gaines and Fixer Upper fan, so I knew this would be the perfect time to visit Magnolia Market in Waco. She arrived on Saturday, but we thought Monday would be less crowded, we ventured up 35 from Austin yesterday morning. After taking the exit, we quickly spotted the silos to the west. It is pretty crazy that this property is situated right in the center of Waco, with Baylor University to the east and downtown Waco to the west.<br />
<br />

<br />
The other things we spotted quickly as we got closer were the crowds of people walking toward the silos and the LINE. We got a little disheartened because we were on a time crunch since Rachel was flying out of Austin early that evening...we drove two hours there and had to go inside! What happened to a smaller weekday crowd? Oh yeah - spring break. Even though spring break in most of central Texas is next week, I now know spring break for Waco ISD is this week. Hence the crowd. We got there just before noon so decided to go grab lunch and come back in hopes that the line would go down, or at least we wouldn't be hungry and impatient (two things with which I don't deal well!).<br />
<br />
This was a mistake for two reasons: 1) the line was longer when we returned (should have figured), and 2) they have food at the silos! There are a handful of food trucks and the options looked good: Common Grounds (coffee), Milo (Asian), Luna Juice, 900 degrees Pizzeria (this was actually closed when we visited), Co-Town Crepes, Club Sandwich, and Cheddar Box (gourmet grilled cheese {mouthwatering}). Insider tip: if you present your receipt from a purchase made inside at Magnolia Market, you get 10% off. So shop first and eat after!<br />
<br />
On second thought, it wasn't that big of a mistake for another two reasons: 1) the line moves SUPER fast, and 2) we stumbled upon <a href="http://www.schmaltzssandwichshop.com/" target="_blank">Schmaltz's Sandwich Shoppe</a>, which is a local little sandwich joint known for incredibly tasty sandwiches on fresh bread - think Schlotzsky's style buns but uber fresh! So mistakes canceled out and we still maintain our credibility as wise and savvy shoppers and eaters.<br />
<br />
I dropped Rachel off so she could get a spot in line and I went to park.<br />

Some perspective to see where Rachel started - by the soon to open bakery. The line went up the sidewalk, into the tent, and then onto the ramp.</div>

Parking tip - be careful as you turn into the alley to go to their parking lot because the alley is narrow and there are shoppers taking selfies by the marking on the back of the building, as well as cars exiting the lot. The lot is pretty large and I found a spot easily so I headed over to join Rachel in line. She had already moved almost half of the length of the sidewalk, which was a good sign. Don't be deterred by the line because it really does move quickly. Someone commented that the line was designed like those at Disney World - it is organized, efficiently maintained, well staffed, covered by a tent, and there is reading material along the way. They handed out copies of the "Magnolia Times, which has a little welcome message and some fun facts to help pass the time in line. As we got closer to the front, another staff member was distributing an area map with other attractions in Waco (Baylor, the zoo, the Dr. Pepper Museum, etc.). The young ladies working the line welcomed us, asked where we were from, and made nice small talk.<br />
<br />
We made it to the front of the store in about 30 minutes.<br />

We were welcomed in to the market and the picture-taking really got going. Not good photography by any means; I should have had Rachel take the pictures as she is a legit photographer! (<a href="http://www.rachelwiegmanphotography.com/" target="_blank">Check out her awesome work</a>!) Everywhere you looked there were people and there was a long line up through the center of the store for the registers. It was crowded and I definitely would have preferred to have more room to shop, but they did manage the crowd well.<br />

If you couldn't tell from the pictures, Magnolia Market features a lot of home decor accessories: crates, pillows, candles, vases, flowers, cotton, wreaths, dishes, centerpieces, wall decor, etc. I have to be honest; I was underwhelmed by the selections, primarily because I anticipated at least some vintage/antique items since she frequently shops for and decorates with one of kind pieces for her clients on Fixer Upper. I also had in my mind that Jo had her own line of decor, but instead the store features mass produced wholesale items that even I have purchased at Dallas market - meaning so does every other retailer whose style includes farmhouse decor. Much of the jewelry was from a boutique jeweler here in Austin, one I happen to love, but again I was expecting Jo to have her own line. She is so incredibly talented as a designer and I would love to see her designs in the store - I am sure that is coming one day! She is one busy lady after all!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though I didn't get much inspiration from the reproduction decor, the displays were creative and impressive. The prices at Magnolia Market are quite a bit higher than at other retailers, but that sure didn't keep shoppers from buying! Nearly everyone had a few items in their hand, like souvenirs to mark the experience. </div>
<br />
That is exactly what Magnolia Market and the Silos offer visitors - an experience - and a free one! They could make a killing off charging admission to the property but they don't. While I enjoyed checking out the selection of the retail store, I had even more fun taking in the scene out back. The food trucks are on the edges with lots of picnic tables to enjoy a bite to eat in the center. The garden beds had some great veggies growing. The whole property is very family friendly; as a mama of a little one, I was very impressed that the interior bathrooms offered a changing station, There are bathrooms in a small building out back as well. There were lots of kids running about and enjoying the various sporting equipment like hula hoops, bats and balls, and kick balls that were strewn across the lawn for visitors' entertainment.<br />

The only building open during our visit was the front half of the market; there is a large section of the warehouse in the back that wasn't available to shoppers when we were there, so not sure if that is open at other times or just hasn't opened yet. Soon to open is the garden shop, bakery, and perhaps something inside the silos...so this experience will be even better in the near future!</div>

My last post was just before Halloween, and now it is almost Christmas! Things have been very busy here - baby's first Halloween, two shows, baby's first birthday, and two bouts of illness for me all within five weeks. Time to slow down!<br />
<br />
I was so excited to get back to Gonzales, TX for my third Barn Sale after not being there last year; turns out this was my best show yet, and I had such a great time with all my immediate family from Illinois here to help. I didn't get a picture of my sister (she was working hard the entire time!), but here is a picture of my parents and little boy:<br />

His mischievious personality is already showing! Here he is modeling <a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/collections/baby-barn-chic" target="_blank">Barn Chic Boutique's Milkbarn baby line</a> - cardi, leggings, one piece, and even a burp cloth turned lovey.</div>
<br />
This sale is in a small town, but it boosts major crowds and the nicest shoppers. Show hostess extraordinaire Suzanne of <a href="http://www.rustedgingham.com/" target="_blank">Rusted Gingham</a> pulls out all the stops and really makes the sale an event complete with live music, inspiring fall decor, professional photography, wonderful vendors, delicious food (the chili and puppy chow were amazing!), and shoppers from all over. The best part about selling baby clothing is getting to see all the adorable babies that come through my space with their mamas! <br />

The weather was warm and sunny on Day 1, but a storm came through Friday evening and it brought much cooler weather, rain, and strong winds. I was so worried Saturday morning when I woke up and heard the pouring rain, as I had displayed lots of the baby clothing up against the outer wall of the barn; the top half has chicken wire and a tarp to keep the elements out, and I panicked thinking that all of my screens with clothing blew over and were ruined by the rain and mud! I was so relieved to arrive and see that nothing was out of place - whew! I got lucky and definitely learned my lesson to think ahead. </div>

My best selling baby line is<a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/collections/milkbarn-baby" target="_blank"> Milkbarn organics</a>, and they have the most adorable prints. The cotton is super soft, durable, and washes well. I love that they have expanded their line to include leggings, cardigans, and hooded rompers. This is in addition to their hats, footies, one piece bodysuits, bibs, kerchief bibs, burp clothes (which make the best little lovies), swaddles, stroller blankets, and 'big lovey' three layer bamboo blankets. </div>

I was so excited to receive my first shipment of a local, handmade, and organic line, Mount Zi, just in time for the Barn Sale. The trademark item of this line is the harem pant with knee patches - they are *so* precious! These were a customer favorite at the Barn Sale. </div>

I was curious to see what would do better - baby or ladies. Turns out that I sold exactly the same number of ladies' clothing and accessories as I did babies! My best selling ladies' line is by far <a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/collections/grace-lace" target="_blank">Grace and Lace</a> - their fall and winter styles are so on point with blanket wraps, scarves, two fit cardis, ponchos, lace extenders, boot cuffs, and hats. </div>

I took a 6 x 12 U-Haul to this show and it was filled with farmhouse furniture and decor; I still have some antiques left but my stash is dwindling and I am mainly selling display pieces now. I was excited to sell a few heavy and awkward pieces like the massive plow disc pictured below - I had two and a girl bought both. I asked her what she was planning to do with them and she told me that she and her boyfriend were going to make some sort of BBQ smoker with them. Awesome! Glad to see them repurposed and useful! </div>

The antiques add a lot to the Barn Chic look, but they just don't sell like the clothing...yet they require lots of storage space, a U-Haul for shows, and extra hands to help load and unload. So, Barn Chic went mainly boutique for Vintage in Verdi as it was my first "one-woman" show! Check back to see how it went! </div>

If you are in the Central/South/East Texas area, 1) I hope you are safe after all the storms and rain, and 2) I hope you are planning to come to Gonzales next Friday or Saturday (November 6 and 7) to shop the greatest Barn Sale there is! As I started the title to this post, I wrote "Two weeks until the Barn Sale!" - and then realized that it is next week! This time next week, I will be at the Barn Sale, all set up and having already done Day 1 of the 2 day show.<br />
<br />
Suzanne of <a href="http://www.rustedgingham.com/" target="_blank">Rusted Gingham</a> has been revealing the 2015 Barn Sale vendors on her blog over the past few weeks (she did a nice little right up on Barn Chic <a href="http://www.rustedgingham.com/2015/09/rolling-out-vendors-round-1.html?m=0" target="_blank">here</a>), and I am really excited to sell AND shop at this year's event - there are more vendors than ever before and there is an impressive collection of handmade, vintage, unique, and funky junk available! You seriously could get so many gifts checked off your list in one spot, and support artists and small business owners. My own space is going to be my most eclectic yet, as I will have a smattering of Christmas decor, a new crop of antiques (freshly picked from the Third Sunday Market in Bloomington, IL this month), as well as ladies clothing (lots of new fall looks from Grace & Lace) and TONS of <a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/collections/baby-barn-chic" target="_blank">adorable baby clothing and accessories</a> - including the launch of a new line handmade right here in Austin! I am so excited to see how it all comes together.<br />

It was so wonderful and I took tons of pictures to capture the essence of the property to share with you and realized that I never actually posted about this gem! I promised a post earlier this month, so here it is. Better late than never, right?<br />
<br />
I first wrote about Ashwell's Texas inn back in 2012 (you can check out that post <a href="http://barnchicantiques.blogspot.com/2012/07/junk-gypsy-and-rachel-ashwell-inspired.html" target="_blank">here</a>), and it has been by far my most read piece on the blog. Rachel Ashwell is the queen and originator of shabby chic, so it is no surprise that her Round Top property is gorgeous and on point with shabby decor. I am no photographer, and these photos don't come close to doing the property justice, but I hope you can get a taste for the beautiful decor in and the serene environment around the quaint farmstead.<br />

Talk about organized and efficient - that is Suzanne!<br />

I am loving her Save the Date postcard with the new Rusted Gingham logo.<br />

Named one of the<a href="http://www.countryliving.com/shopping/antiques/a155/readers-favorite-flea-markets/" target="_blank"> top 7 flea markets/barn sales</a> by Country Living earlier this year, Kristen and her Junk HIPPY crew (family) brought the shoppers out of the woodwork! Or at least out of the Houston area...there were thousands of shoppers (I've heard 6,000) who braved the crowds, heat, and lines to get a glimpse at the junk. When I pulled in to the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds at 7:30am on Saturday morning to finish pricing and arranging my space, there were three dedicated shoppers who formed the start of the line awaiting the 9am opening. 9am came, and this is what the line had grown to:<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7nkTeW4WLMVBjBWSIE6Hod8hNPHcOtkTkLHSGMYmJwt3hFqBGYXGPjF5Pg9YMIeqgqiKeUMdOw1M0VKo1oZJoWW_VJNcH0I7T0CNoP4B20Z3gEJHk4VMDjP0hlSy3DLscMfbtT44_pUKJ/s1600/junk+hippy+15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7nkTeW4WLMVBjBWSIE6Hod8hNPHcOtkTkLHSGMYmJwt3hFqBGYXGPjF5Pg9YMIeqgqiKeUMdOw1M0VKo1oZJoWW_VJNcH0I7T0CNoP4B20Z3gEJHk4VMDjP0hlSy3DLscMfbtT44_pUKJ/s320/junk+hippy+15.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The line was long outside but the flow of shoppers was manageable through our building for the first 30 minutes or so. And then it got crazy! It was awesome and a bit overwhelming to have a line in my booth, and my mom and I didn't stop wrapping up goods for several hours straight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am so thankful for my Barn Chic crew (family) for all their help this weekend; there is no WAY I could have done it without them! My parents again drove down from IL to help, and Andrew came in Friday night; the four of us managed to load and unload a trailer full of junk twice, set up a booth, nearly sell out of the boutique clothing, and wrangle the living mannequin who was cutting his first tooth. Some of those tasks were easier than others...but I am happy to report that my little guy did just fine at his first show! </div>

I am so glad I had a great show with my clothing, because I hardly sold any antiques! Which meant the trailer was as full going home as it was headed there and every heavy piece went back with me. But I will not complain because I had my BEST.SHOW.EVER. thanks to the junk warriors who endured the heat, lines, and crowded buildings. I sold out of my <a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/collections/grace-lace" target="_blank">Grace & Lace</a> clothing and accessories as well as most all of my <a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/collections/baby-barn-chic" target="_blank">BABY Barn Chic</a> goods. I met some wonderful shoppers and I am thankful for all the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Barn-Chic-Boutique/407846449318002?ref=hl" target="_blank">Facebook</a> love I've gotten from my new customers! </div>

I am gearing up for my first show in a year! This weekend I am excited to return to Junk Hippy's Rosenberg (TX) show at the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds from 9am to 6pm on Saturday, July 18. I am feeling a bit rusty as I haven't done a show in so long, and it will certainly be an interesting experience with an 8 month old! I welcome any tips that you show mamas may have for a first timer with a little one! </div>

I ran out to a store last night to pick up some things for an overnight trip we are making this weekend. A few things on my list - a pool float, beach towels, and a large picnic blanket. I struggled finding summer things, but I sure could have picked up some new pencils, notebooks, binders, Halloween window clings, turkey decorations for the Thanksgiving table, or a pre-lit Christmas tree. What?! Why are the school supplies out? Didn't school <i>just end</i>? The smell of cinnamon permeated the aisle lined with pumpkins and scarecrows. Thanksgiving and Christmas?! I'm seasonally confused! Isn't it just the beginning of July?!<br />
<br />
I don't know who is shopping for Christmas right now, but there must be someone or stores wouldn't sacrifice the shelf space. I am going to focus on soaking up the current season - minus the pool float and picnic blanket that I couldn't find!<br />
<br />
I wish you all a great 4th of July. Enjoy the moment and make great memories!<br />
<br />
Have a chic week(end),<br />

I am also excited to get back into the swing of shows and sales.

Today I received confirmation that I will be a vendor at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RustedGingham?fref=ts" target="_blank">Rusted Gingham Barn Sale</a> again this year after taking a break last year to have a baby - good thing I didn't try to do the show last November as my water broke the day of the sale! Looking forward to joining Suzanne and all the great vendors at this year's show on November 6-7 in Gonzales, TX. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I am kicking off the summer season with a big sale at the <a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/" target="_blank">boutique</a>; take 20% off any order with discount code SCHOOLSOUT, and bump that percentage to 30% with a purchase of $100 or more (use discount code SUMMER30).<br />

Looking forward to more blogging and junking this summer! I also hope to post about my stay at Rachel Ashwell's The Prairie last summer - talk about overdue! This teacher gets a zero for on time performance.<br />
<br />
Here's to a summer of family fun and junking adventures!<br />
<br />
Have a chic week,<br />

Even in Austin, TX, winter is in full force. We had a two hour delay at school this week (yes!). Guess I ought to just embrace it, at least through the end of the month (which happens to be today). But as soon as February is over, winter should be too.<br />

Yeah, yeah, it is almost February, but time both stands still and slips away from me these days. Since I have yet to share any pictures of the awesome room that is the 'baby's room,' I thought I would finally post a reveal...now that my son is nearly 3 months old!<br />

What I love most about AJ's room is the contribution of friends and family that came together for a warm and loving space for our son. I had a vision to create an Aztec/woodlands theme for the room and spent hours looking for great fabrics that would bring together elements like tee-pees, feathers, antlers, dream-catchers, and arrows. I am very much intrigued by American Indian culture and wanted to channel that vibe in AJ's room. Who better to help me turn this vision into a reality than my incredibly talented mom. If I had half the skills that this woman has in her left pinky I would be happy!<br />

She made the curtains, changing pad cover, and crib skirt, but most impressive is the awesome tee-pee, which she surprised me with the weekend before AJ was born. These things sell for a couple hundred dollars at children's home decor sites, and my mom whipped one up that puts those to shame! She even stenciled around the sides and used coordinating fabric from the curtains. </div>

That piece helped sell me on the dresser I got at West Elm, which I agonized over for about six weeks before I finally bought it. I even carted the pallet into the store to see if the dresser would compliment the wood tones of the pallet. I pulled the trigger on the dresser when they said they offer a teacher discount; I'm a sucker for saving money! This is a nice piece that isn't just furniture for a baby's room, but rather can be used for years to come. It is made of reclaimed pine and looks great on the wall diagonal from the pallet.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">The rack to the right of the dresser is actually a magazine rack that I ordered from Amazon and is the perfect diaper storage system! We are using cloth diapers and this rack is great for organizing the covers, inserts, and boosters.</span></div>
<br />
The black architectural piece above the dresser was the initial inspiration for the black and white color scheme. This piece was in the room before when it was a <a href="http://barnchicantiques.blogspot.com/2014/07/redecorating-guest-room.html" target="_blank">guest bedroom</a>, and I loved it so much I wanted to incorporate it into the nursery. I bought it at an antique store near my hometown in IL and love that there is a piece of history from my area in his room.<br />
<br />
I went FTM (first time mom) crazy on researching a crib that would be safe, non-toxic, affordable, and stylish. The crib I first loved had horrible reviews for paint odors that lingered months after the crib was put together. I hadn't even considered the safety of the finishes or materials used in making the crib, but I then became consumed with finding one that didn't contain (such a high level of) harmful chemicals. I ended up getting the Sundvik crib from Ikea. European regulations are much stricter when it comes to use of chemicals and this crib had excellent reviews - and it is cheap and cute!<br />

We got the glider and ottoman from Buy Buy Baby where I tested Every. Single. Chair they had for minutes at a time during my many trips to that store this summer. I was thoroughly overwhelmed by all the baby stuff in that place and would retreat to the glider section to put my swollen feet up. I would say that off-white isn't the most child or pet friendly color for fabric upholstery, but it sure looks great in the room (and I bought the stain-removal package where they will replace the chair if the stain doesn't come out!). </div>

The ottoman has a handmade quilt from one of Andrew's family friends on top of it and I cover the seat of the glider with a towel since my hairy cat has claimed it as his new favorite seat in the house. Many a time I have gone in to rock the baby only to discover that my cat is in the chair. He has had a rough few months adjusting to our new bundle of joy, so I let the cat be and find another place to sit.</div>

I can hardly believe that it is almost Christmas and that our new baby is over 6 weeks old now! We finally got a Christmas tree on Saturday (December 20). The bonus to waiting until the holiday is almost over to buy a tree? Half off! There were five trees from which to choose and I would say it turned out pretty good for a last minute discount tree! I would have been happy with a Charlie Brown tree, but instead we got a decent good smelling fraser fir. <br />

We bought the tree on Saturday, got the lights up Monday evening, and I think I will forgo any additional decorating. The smell and the lights are the two best parts of the tree, right?<br />
<br />
So I only have two stockings. I know, I know, go get another one for our sweet baby boy. I definitely will, but for now, I improvised. <br />

Anyone still read this blog? If you do, thank you so much! It has been several months since my last post, and there isn't a great excuse for it especially since I was on summer break until mid-August. Now that the school year is in full swing, my hands are full with teaching...and my belly is full of baby!<br />
<br />
One month to go until the arrival of our baby boy, and that nesting instinct is in full force - but sadly my movement and abilities are not! For the first time in over a decade, I missed out on Texas Antiques Week, including Warrenton shows, Marburger Farm, and the big Pottery Barn teen furniture launch by Junk Gypsy. While I was sad to not be in the fields shopping this fall, I am excited to be preparing for our little one's arrival.<br />
<br />
One thing I am focused on right now is selling as much of my current inventory from <a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/collections/all" target="_blank">Barn Chic Boutique</a> as I can. I am having a 40% off sale, so I hope you will stop by the site and check out the bags, jewelry, scarves and clothing. Though I have sold out of several styles, there is still lots of great merchandise left! Get an early start on your holiday shopping and get some gifts checked off your list! Use discount code <b>40weeks</b> and help me celebrate the nearing end of pregnancy and beginning of our journey in parenthood!<br />
<br />
This is a photo from my maternity session (taken by my amazingly talented best friend Rachel of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rachel-Wiegman-Photography/504450569698995?fref=ts" target="_blank">Rachel Wiegman Photography</a>!) in which I am wearing my favorite Barn Chic Boutique dress. This picture was actually taken over two months ago, so you can just imagine how big I am now...<br />

Well, it's really more of a repurposing of the room, and that means an overhaul of the decor. I already parted with an end table at my recent downsizing sale, and I will be selling the queen bed too. The other antique pieces in the room will be staying: a great chippy architectural piece on the wall, an old china cabinet, and a sweet little black side table.<br />

This picture not only identifies the room's new purpose, but also explains all the downsizing going on here at Barn Chic Antiques (though when it comes to my wardrobe, there is definitely upsizing happening!)... Andrew and I are very excited to welcome our first baby in November, so it is time to turn the guest room into a baby's room. Well not quite yet - my mom and sister are here to help at the Junk Hippy show this Saturday in Round Top, so we are leaving the room as is until after their visit.<br />
<br />
The second piece that I purchased for the baby's room is a piece of pallet art by my talented friend Julie. I got this at her store's grand opening last Friday in Dripping Springs and <a href="http://barnchicantiques.blogspot.com/2014/07/grand-opening-of-vintage-soul-tx-in.html" target="_blank">left you all hanging in my last post</a> as to which pallet I picked. Here it is:<br />

I love it! It will be perfect for the room and I can't wait to see it all come together (and, of course, welcome our baby!).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As for <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/BarnChicAntiques?fref=ts" target="_blank">Barn Chic Antiques</a></span> and <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Barn-Chic-Boutique/407846449318002?ref=hl" target="_blank">Barn Chic Boutique</a></span>, they will continue to exist but I am going to take a little break - for how long, I don't know, but I am thinking this weekend's show at Junk Hippy will be my last for awhile. I certainly don't want to hang up my junkin' hat, and while I am enjoying hunting for fun decor for the baby's room, I haven't purchased anything to sell since March. If I still have lots of inventory left after this show, then I *might* take on one more local show in the early fall... sure hope I don't need to! </div>
<br />
Blogging was a lot less frequent this past spring; not only was I feeling miserable and going to bed pretty much after getting home from teaching, I also didn't have much to report on the antique front! I still love blogging and plan to continue, but the topics covered may not be relevant to the world of decor and may be sporadic especially this late fall and winter. I very much appreciate my readers and hope you will continue to follow my posts!<br />
<br />
I would love to see you this Saturday, July 19, at the [air-conditioned] Lone Star Gallery in Warrenton (well, the address is in Round Top but the building is across the street from Renck and Zapp Hall - click <a href="http://www.thelonestargallery.com/visitor-info-1.html" target="_blank">here</a> for a map!). The show opens at 9am, and if you are planning to go and want free admission, I have two free tickets to give out! Just comment on this post and I will get in touch with you.<br />

I am so excited to share pictures from the first weekend of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vintage-Soul-TX/280664328688301" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Vintage Soul TX</span></a>, the new shop opened by my friend Julie Crawford. I first saw Julie's fantastic vintage style (and trademark vintage sign) at the <a href="http://barnchicantiques.blogspot.com/2012/05/junk-salvation-show-snapshots.html" target="_blank">Junk Salvation</a> show, but I actually met her at the <a href="http://barnchicantiques.blogspot.com/2012/05/country-living-luck-at-fair.html" target="_blank">Country Living Show</a> in Austin back in May 2012. Ironically, I wrote the Junk Salvation post and showed a picture of her awesome vintage sign, but I commented that I couldn't find the vendor anywhere online to give credit. Julie then read the post and let me know it was hers, after we had met. Since then, we both have been vendors at the Rusted Gingham Barn Sales, and Julie has even shown at the Dallas Market in the Vintage Home Finds show. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Julie is known for her custom painting and her recent shows showcase her beautiful painted pallets. Julie was painting pallets before painting pallets was hot in the world of reproduction! She also does interior design and consultation, so she is quite the decorating professional. It is only fitting that she now has a brick and mortar location to show off her great style. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I knew I had arrived to her shop when I looked up the alley and saw this:</div>

Here is the shop owner herself standing in front of her new space - the limestone, weathered boards, and tin ceiling inside are the perfect backdrop in the adorable small town for Julie's great style. I hope you get to check it out in person. Dripping Springs is on 290, about 30 minutes west of Austin, and Vintage Soul TX is open the first and third weekends of the month; you can stop by and visit Julie on your way to <a href="http://www.shopmarketdays.com/" target="_blank">Wimberly Market Days</a> (first weekend) and <a href="http://www.fbgtradedays.com/" target="_blank">Fredericksburg Trade Days </a>(third weekend).</div>

After moving out of the Austin Antique Mall at the end of February, I had mall inventory and my stash of show goods all crammed into one side of my garage. It was actually pretty amazing how well everything fit on that side, but the problem is that too much little stuff sitting on the great farmhouse furniture means that no one actually sees the furniture underneath the stacks of smalls sitting on top!<br />
<br />
My mom, who painstakingly helps me wrap and pack the hundreds of smalls that don't sell at shows, recommended that I have a sale to pare down to my favorite Barn Chic farmhouse pieces for the next Junk Hippy sale. Smalls are interesting; they paid the rent at the antique mall, but they require way more time at shows (and haven't been as great of sellers as clothing and mid-sized items). If you are a vendor, you know what I mean - all those breakables that don't sell have to be wrapped, packed, and stored safely. (And you have to remember to actually put those crates of smalls in your trailer before you drive four hours home to realize you left one at the show...)<br />

Selling ball jars and skeleton keys paid the rent for my mall booth. </div>
<br />
<br />
There was no better time than the first full week of summer for this teacher to tackle this sale. I spent a few hours one morning assessing the inventory, and afterward I thought to myself, "I really don't have that much!" Most of Wednesday was spent arranging and pricing what I wanted to sell, and I don't know who I was kidding when thinking there wasn't much.<br />

How all that fit neatly on one half of the garage is beyond me. And thinking about putting it all back away after taking it all out for the sale was overwhelming. But I am excited to say that mass amounts of these great goods are now in the hands of awesome vendors, creators, and lovers of junk all over the Austin area, so I won't have nearly as large of a task to put it away. Huge thank you to those who came out to shop the sale, and I will spotlight these great vendors, bloggers, and creators who now have a piece of Barn Chic in their inventory in a coming post. </div>

I tallied how many people came through the garage and it was less than 20. That sounds like it wasn't a good sale, especially considering that I have done shows with over 4,000 people through the doors...so can you believe that this sale with 18 people amounted in the greatest sales ever for Barn Chic Antiques? And zero overhead. I am one happy junker. </div>

Last spring, I wrote about literally <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://barnchicantiques.blogspot.com/2013/03/one-small-claim-to-retail-fame.html" target="_blank">running into several items</a> </span>that were bought in my booth at an adorable boutique-style store carrying cute women's clothing and accessories. The store, Altar'd State, is expanding rapidly among the southeast, and if you have ever been to one, you know why - this store has mastered the art of preserving vintage style through (new) clothing and decor.<br />
<br />
Their window displays always get my attention, and this month's arrangement is no exception. It was when I stopped to fully admire the scene that I noticed the luggage purchased from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BarnChicAntiques" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Barn Chic Antiques</span></a> last spring. I love their creative use of vintage props to stage a vignette that tells a story.<br />

The first road trip on my summer agenda is to venture south about an hour to pick up a crate that I left at the Petticoats on the Prairie show. Luckily, a sweet fellow vendor was back in the Ballinger area and helped me retrieve it...so I hope to meet her soon and start getting ready for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JunkHippy?ref=br_tf" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Junk Hippy</span></a> Round Top/Warrenton show on July 19. </div>

Not only have things with school been hectic, but I also haven't had much news to share on the antique front since I am no longer in the antique mall and don't do regular shows. It is amazing how much of my weekends were dedicated to shopping for the booth and restocking it until I moved out the last day of February. There are certainly times that I miss it, but I have to admit the extra time is awesome (and so are the lower credit card bills!). The extra time did not result in more blog posts though!<br />
<br />
With summer coming and more time on my hands, I imagine there will be some shopping excursions in my near future. My next show will be at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JunkHippy" target="_blank">Junk Hippy</a> in Round Top/Warrenton on July 19; I hope this Junk Hippy show is as great as the one in Rosenberg was back in February! If you have any other show recommendations within an hour or two of Austin, please let me know!<br />
<br />
I have some great new inventory at<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/collections/new-arrivals" target="_blank">Barn Chic Boutique</a></span>, including plus size tops and fun summer tanks and dresses. <b>All loyal blog readers get 15% off for the rest of May and all of June with discount code blogreader</b><span style="font-size: large;">, </span>so check it out and see what's new!<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, and thank you to all those who serve, especially <a href="http://barnchicantiques.blogspot.com/2012/05/soldier-and-his-new-wife.html" target="_blank">Jeremiah and Shannon </a>who were married two years ago this weekend!<br />
<br />
Have a chic week,<br />

I love that so much of the talent at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marburgerfarmantiqueshow" target="_blank">Marburger Farm</a> comes from right here in the great state of Texas! Last week I <a href="http://barnchicantiques.blogspot.com/2014/04/coast-to-coast-inspiration-at-marburger.html" target="_blank">showcased vendors from afar</a>, but this post is dedicated to those who are relatively local for this national show. </div>

My first vendor is a couple whose style I first got to know in my own town of Austin, both at the City Wide Garage Sale and at the Austin Antique Mall. They had a large booth there for awhile when I did, and I could never visit the mall without stopping by to see what creative items they had for sale. Mike and Nancy of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/housewrenaustin" target="_blank">House Wren</a> are beyond talented. Here's plenty of proof:</div>

Another Austin vendor I got to know at the City Wide Garage Sales is Janet from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rubbishandcompany?ref=br_tf" target="_blank">Rubbish</a>. This time, I was really getting into looking at her stuff, but I didn't realize it was her space until she got my attention. I usually recognize her goods (lots of old flashcards!) right away, but there was something about this year's Marburger booth that had me fooled for a bit! </div>

Right across from Janet is her friend Stephanie from Fluff out of Dallas. These two together have way too much fun, not only as neighbors in the Marburger tent, but also they camp as roommates the week of Marburger. When I say camp, it is really more of a trailer in the woods sort of thing (not to be confused with "glamping"...maybe it is called "tramping"?), but the stories they tell are over the top awesome. So were Stephanie's old VW bumpers.</div>

The paintings at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tobacco-Road-Primitives/235266226505179" target="_blank">Tobacco Road Primitives</a> stopped me in my tracks - the picturesque Texas scenery and characters were so well done! I spent a good deal of time talking to one of the owners, who lives just minutes from Marburger, but this artist is actually out of Georgia. She said he had never been to Texas, yet his artwork captured the landscape so well! </div>

While there are so many other super talented Texas vendors at Marburger, the last one I got pictures of is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thevintageroundtop" target="_blank">The Vintage Round Top</a>. I believe this is only their second show (see pics from their first <a href="http://barnchicantiques.blogspot.com/2013/10/round-tops-marburger-farm-antique-show.html" target="_blank">here</a>), but wow, they sure are experts at this already! So much of their booth had sold by the time I got there on Tuesday afternoon.</div>

It is still hard to believe that a little map dot with a population of less than 100 midway between Austin and Houston becomes <i>the</i> destination for antique decor twice a year - but one step inside any of the white tents at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marburgerfarmantiqueshow?fref=ts" target="_blank">Marburger Farm</a> is enough to make anyone a believer that Round Top is at the top of the list for antique shows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a premiere venue, Marburger Farms draws some of the most talented designers from across the country. This big show is a huge undertaking for vendors, particularly those who have lengthy commutes; they spend months designing their set, days driving it to Round Top, and several more days setting it all up. I like to compare doing a show with moving an entire apartment - and then changing your mind and moving back to the original space (but hopefully with lots fewer belongings!), all in the span of a weekend or a short week. In the case of Marburger Farm, which is a five day show, lots of vendors spend more time on the road getting to and from the Farm than they do actually selling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want to showcase some of my favorite vendors, many from afar and others from right here in Central Texas. This post will feature those who travel great distances to get here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Up first is the talented couple from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/South-Porch-Antiques/175786025868120" target="_blank">South Porch Antiques</a>. They make the drive to Texas pulling a trailer full of treasures at least twice a year for Marburger, and a few years back when the Country Living Show was in Austin, they came three times. I am exhausted just thinking about that drive! But I am so glad they make the trip because their booth never fails to inspire:</div>

South Porch's neighbors in their Marburger tent actually drive in from the other coast. Ludwig and Linda of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WillowNest?fref=ts" target="_blank">Willow Nest</a> are out of San Luis Obispo, CA, though they are former residents of the Round Top area. Some of my favorite purchases came from their booth at the City Wide Garage Sale a few years ago...how I wish they still showed there! But I do love seeing Linda's whimsical and romantic wares in Round Top. </div>

Having just returned from a two-day show about four hours from home (more to come on that soon!), I don't have a clue how these long-distance vendors do it - the amount of creativity needed to design and stage a show, the energy required to haul it, unpack it, and repack it, plus the charisma needed to sell for days on end is beyond exhausting. I am in awe of these talented designers and look forward to their seeing their hard work each April and October.<br />
<br />
Check back soon for a post on some of my favorite Texas vendors and my experience at Petticoats on the Prairie this past weekend!<br />

What a beautiful day it was to hit the fields of Warrenton and Round Top this past Saturday. The weather was great, and though there were a lot of people, it wasn't overwhelmingly crowded like it was last spring on the weekend. My first stop was at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/therendezvousroundtop?ref=br_tf" target="_blank">The Rendezvous</a>, which is a new venue just east of Marburger Farm. This great old truck with vintage letters helped me find my way there. </div>
<a name='more'></a>This homestead turned marketplace featured several vendors in the yard and the building behind the house. I read somewhere that this is the brainchild of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/peacockparkdesign" target="_blank">Peacock Park Design</a> owner, so it was undoubtedly filled to the brim with great decor. I apologize for not getting more pictures; I was too caught up in the moment of admiring all the beauty! I did get several shots of the outside vendor, though I can't give credit on these first few - if you know whose space this is, please let me know!<br />

I was pleasantly surprised to see the Stash airstream at The Rendezvous. Their vignette at the front of the trailer was very eye-catching.<br />

They had TONS of clothes for this show, because they were also in the little building in front of Royer's Cafe at Zapp Hall. I would love to get an Airstream just like this for <a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/" target="_blank">Barn Chic Boutique</a>...</div>

<br />
Less than three weeks until the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/petticoatsontheprairie" target="_blank">Petticoats on the Prairie</a> show in Ballinger, TX! This will be my first POTP show and I couldn't be more excited - I hear shoppers come from all over to this "Wild and Woolly West Show." This market is a two day shopping extravaganza held April 11-12 at the historic Wool and Mohair Warehouse in Ballinger, which is between San Angelo and Brownwood. They say, "It's not your mama's kind of vintage!" but I sure hope it is because my mama and I like the same things - and I am so happy she will be coming down to help with this show!<br />
<br />
I have been doing some show preparations, but sadly I haven't gotten to do much junk hunting. My garage is busting at the seams with treasures since I closed my booth, so I had to limit my shopping due to lack of storage space. But I have been doing other types of preparation for this show, including restocking on great spring and summer styles for the <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://barnchicboutique.com/" target="_blank">boutique</a></span> since I sold out of lots of clothing at the Junk Hippy show. I ordered a greater variety of sizes and now carry small through 2XL (though not all sizes available for each style). I currently have a 10% off sale on the online site for any item in the plus collection with discount code "newsizes" through March. Though there are only a few tunics in the collection right now, many more styles will be arriving at the beginning of April. I also ordered lots of new jewelry and reclaimed canvas bags that have that vintage feel.<br />

I also have been working with a graphic designer on a logo as I need new business cards. I never knew what a process it was to go from brainstorming to final product! I started this project at the first of the year and we are just now getting to completion. I have spent hours searching through images of logos, fonts, and pictures to get inspiration. Here are some work ups of the logo along the way:<br />

The curtains are hopefully going to be defined more by lighter shading, but I am very happy with the outcome and look forward to getting new materials with the logo soon. Special thanks to my sister Mary for drawing the inspiration! </div>

Even though the garage is full, I bet I can squeeze a few more goods in that I'm sure to find in Warrenton next week; I can't wait to hit the fields to explore. Will I see you there?!</div>
