We're Back from our Vintage Marketplace ...

Oh My ...it's been a while since we really sat down and blogged ..we were so busy preparing for the Chateu De Fleurs Vintage Marketplace ..that our blog got a little quiet ...but we are back !

Well that is for today ..as we have 1 more show on the 19th (Glitterfest) so starting Tuesday we'll be working like crazy to get ready for it ..

But I thought today I would share picts of our set up at the Chateau Marketplace.

First of all this show was amazing ..The turnout was spectacular and we Came home with a "Much" lighter load ..so that's awesome !

Christi and Rita Hosted another extremely successful event Dean provided Delicious Eats and The Customers were the absolute BEST !!!

Thank You to everyone !!!

So here's ALOT of pictures of our shop ..More from the market place to follow throughout the week ..



So Abbey and I mixed up our Cottage and Farmhouse pieces and they really complimented each other so well ... We were thrilled with the out come ..


Under the Beautiful Trees ..Romance and Beauty Met !



It was a Bedroom under a canopy of Vintage Umbrellas ..




With Garden Statuary brought in ...and Vintage Windows with our custom Designs framing in our shop ...






The Indoors met the Outdoors with sweet and charming vintage pieces ..






Our Sweet Magnolias Farm Signature Wreaths were met with delight ...and off many of them went to add a little soft, charming and romantic appeal to their new home sweet homes...













Our Beautiful Custom Pillows designed here at Sweet Magnolias Farm were loved by many ...and many of them are now gracing a bed, a chair and even a little love seat..




The sweet antique corner cupboard handpainted in a lovely vintage pink and creamy white ..will be headed to our shops at Treasures N Junk tomorrow ..

Our mini windows ... found new homes to ..but there were a couple left ...so they will be headed to T&J tomorrow too ...


Abbey's gorgeous Custom Designed High Heel ..remember the sneek peek I gave of it ..will here it is in all it's glory and the picture just doesn't do it justice.

And My Favorite Customer of the Entire Marketplace ................





Meet Humphrey .... Oh my gosh is he not to die for !!! If I could have I would have grabbed him up and took him home ...!!! His owner said she ordered him from New York and that he was part American Poodle, Golden Retriever, and Springer Spaniel . This is one of those times that a combination of breeds comes together in a Beautiful way !!! Plus his personality was just as charming as he looked.

So Another wonderful Marketplace is behind us and tomorrow we are headed with a truck full of new offerings to our Shops at T&J .. then Tuesday it's countdown to Glitterfest and these gals will be Busier than a hive of honey bees ....prepaing to bring you a sweet honey hive full of goodies on March 19th ...

Just in from Apronology ..

We were so excited this week to receive a box from Apronology ..

Containing our 3 Sweet Farmhouse Aprons that were featured in the newest Volume.

It's been since last July since they went off to be interviewed ..and it was so much fun to see them up close and personal once again.

No matter how many pictures we take ..it's never like seeing them in person ..there are so many details that just cannot be seen nor remembered by us after we make them ..once they leave our home.

I just finished listing them in our Etsy Shop ...HERE

And here's a Sneek Peek of the 3 of them ...







This Last One ...has been listed also. It's a favorite of mine that I forgot to list recently with the others because it was gracing one of my mannequins and I didn't realize it ..LOL !!!


Wishing you all a day filled with Joy, Happiness and Love !
