Things I forgot at Farm Chicks

 I had my morning cup of coffee in my new (awesome-sized) mug this morning while I finally took a look online at people's pictures of The Farm Chicks show this past weekend. I always love seeing all of the smiling faces and hugs caught on camera.
 Then when I took a look at my pictures I realized that I didn't get any of all the people that I loved spending the weekend with, just of my junk the first night.  I apparently was too busy having fun shopping and talking and hugging and being super busy in my booth I guess for it to occur to me to get pics during the show...
 So I'll just have to store up those photo memories in my heart.
 And when I reflect back on The Farm Chicks show 2012 I will remember getting to be at the show with my mom and my friend Christy, back as Joy Harvest...
 remember that I had forgotten how amazing and jaw dropping the booths actually are...
 remember how well all of our junk worked together in our booth, and how we came this close to selling out...
and I will not forget to trust myself and my style.  After all, this ain't my first rodeo. 
 So now I have a whole summer ahead of me, to plant my garden, to tend my home...
 to play games with my boys, my husband and my dog...
 to blog about projects we are going to do this summer...
 and to just sit on porches~family's, friends and my own, and enjoy them. The people. And the summer. And maybe the porches too.
And of course, I will fit in junking because, well, my chalkboard says it all.
Thank you Serena and The Farm Chicks show for helping me remember. And to never forget.

  2. I love reading your post, it really fills my heart with joy, you are truly one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. So happy we all got to spend some time together and laugh and talk. It was such an amazing show, and as I have said a zillion times, we feel so inspired by all the other vendors. Can't wait until next year, but so looking forward to summer fun with the grandkids and family. See you soon. Hugs Glad & Celia

  5. Good to see you again Hollie! Your booth was wonderful. I love what you said about trusting yourself and your style. I'm always so intimidated and second guess myself, and then the show starts and I see all the different styles and I'm reminded that it's good to be unique and just be yourself. There is something for everyone for sure. I always find that the times I don't take pictures are the best times, sad that you don't have them but you were too busy enjoying the moment. I hope you can enjoy your summer and relax! I plan on doing the same! It was a great year at Farm Chicks!
