a barn store?

There is a fascinating thing going on in the West (Texas & Oregon mainly) and that is the "barn sale". This idea has intrigued me like no other. If I ever (God forbid!) close my little store, I'm moving to the country and finding myself a cute little barn to set up shop in!

From what I have gathered, these barn sales are held a few times throughout the year. They may house goods from one vendor or many. The highly unique inventory consists of various merchandise: architectural salvage, antiques, vintage frames, chandeliers, upholstered pieces, linens, collectibles, and a ton more.

Two of the biggies I have discovered are Tarte and Barn House, both located in Oregon. These barns can hold a candle to any store as far as I'm concerned...they are beautifully merchandised and far exceed the creativity of the average store.

dainty little gems

We have discovered something during these trying times in retail. And that is, while women may hold off on buying a new wardrobe, they are continually discovering ways to create new looks with accessories and jewelry. We could not pass this jewelry line up and we are sure you won't be able to either! Did we mention that all the pieces we ordered are under $50.00? Coming soon!

pink + daisies + grass mats = adorableness

Grass mats that come with the daisies attached! My baby girl was born in October, so she will be cursed with Halloween-esque birthday parties (because I love Halloween!!!), but for all those Spring babies this would be a gorgeous idea. Or baby or bridal showers too. People are getting so stinking creative these days!
