Barn Sale this Friday & Saturday in Granville, Ohio

2376 Burg Street, Granville Ohio Friday and Saturday 9am to 5pm
Hi friends! Just sharing with my local clients about my girlfriend Kimberly's barn sale which takes place this Friday and Saturday. Some of you had the pleasure of meeting her at the Country Living Fair because she so generously helps me out before, during and after (I love how she always manages to stay quite perky and bubbly no matter how exhausted). Kimberly is teaming up with some wonderful new friends of mine, Andrea and Wes, and the three (along with some familial contributors) have been working night and day, day and night to bring you some fab, fAB, FAB!! finds. The sale is from 9am to 5pm both Friday and Saturday of this week.

Also this Saturday the 26th annual Pickerington Antiques & Crafts show will be in full swing from 9am to 3pm. Our very own Lisa Marton will be there with loads of great finds for you. Be sure to stop and say hello to her!

Swing through Thornville while you're out but don't expect to see and Christmas goodies! Those are under wraps until 6pm, Thursday, November 11 through Saturday, November 13 during our Christmas Gathering.

A quickie...

Just wanted to quickly share this 'before and after' with you. Pictured above is a huge soapstone sink I had sitting in my backyard for close to a year. I had every intention of doing something with it but just didn't know what or where. Rather than letting it sit there much longer I sold it to my friend Rusty. I think it sat at his house for several more months. He had an awesome plan for it in a mudroom with lots of windows, industrial hanging pendant lamps, wire baskets, etc. But we all fall victim to that lengthy list of projects and some of them get 'ixnayed' so that other ideas may take flight. So Rusty sold the sink to our mutual friend Page.

Last Saturday night, while attending an outdoor Halloween party at Page's farm, I needed to powder my nose. Page has a number of old outbuildings that she has artfully renovated into new spaces and so I headed for the closest one, if I remember right this one used to be the milking house...not sure. I nearly gasped out loud when I walked in to the bathroom. There it was, that big, beautiful old sink with new life breathed into it. Stunning. This gorgeous bathroom also has an old cupboard nestled perfectly into an alcove (which I failed to get a picture of). Isn't the sink just gorgeous?

Sorry about the quality of the picture, never dreamed I would be at a party snapping a picture in the bathroom so I only had my phone. But I just had to share this with you all! After I left the room I promptly returned, dragging my husband back to show him...he's just happy he doesn't have to weed whip around it anymore.
Here are some random photos I took of Page's place last year, enjoy!

urban farmhouse on JUNK MARKET Style...

One of the Queens of repurposing & recreating...Sue Whitney, shopped urban farmhouse at the Ohio Country Living magazine fair last month to find items to use for her demonstration. She blogged about our tent on her website JUNK MARKET Style. I couldn't agree more with her that one of the best things about the fair is meeting new people and making new friends. (Which I had the pleasure of doing for three solid days thanks to ALL of you!!) And now I include Sue on that list. If you are new to her blog and website settle in with a cup of coffee or tea...you're sure to be amazed! It is chock full of creative and talented contributors from all over the country!

Oh yeah...she posted about her visit to our tent!!!! Thanks Sue!!
