Sweet Magnolias Farm is Back from "The Vintage Marketplace" with lots of picts to share !

 
 
Well it's been several weeks since I have been able to blog and I sure have missed being in the Kitchen sharing recipes on Sunday with you all and can't wait to get back in the swing of things next week were blogging is concerned...
 
As for "The Vintage Marketplace" this last weekend ..once again it was an absolute joy to sell at and another fun weekend filled with laughter and Smiles !
 
Abbey and I worked on some slim time getting ready for this market we literally had 3 weeks to prepare every last thing which really isn't much time at all ...but we managed to get a lot done by working 10 and 12 hour days and we were thrilled with the end result and we hope all those who came out enjoyed our shop and that those of you who couldn't make it ...enjoy are pictures we are sharing with you here on the blog !
 
This Marketplace was a Spring Garden Theme ..so Abbey and I decided to participate by creating our own rustic Garden Shed ... to house all of our Farm Goods ...
 
Out of all of our Shops we have created I think this one tops the list for me ..I really loved how it came out...
 
Once again to all those who came out and supported the Market and all of us whom are small business owners we "Thank You" from the bottom of our hearts !
 
It takes an immense amount of work to run a small business ... and you really have to have your whole heart in it to make it even the smallest success because it truly becomes your life 24 hours a day from the time you wake till the time your head hits the pillow ..so when we have a wonderful turnout as we did once again at this market and sent home many of our vintage finds and our handmades it really makes our heart smile that the super duper hard work we have put in is every bit worth all the effort and long long days !
 
Also thanks again to Rita, Christie, Dean, Allen, Rafael, A.J. and all those who helped to get us set up and make the market a success. Without all there time and effort and endless hours dedicated to finding awesome sellers,  advertising, phone calls, e-mails and everything else they do to pull this market off ..we are ever so grateful !
 
AND ...
 
Now for all the pictures we took to share with all of our  Blogging Friends ...
 
ENJOY !

Our Easter Towels will be offered tomorrow too ..so stop in and grab the ones you want ..
