pearls and chicks


Smile.

I know you are probably surprised to hear from me so soon.
It is not often that I get a chance to post day after day... in fact, it seams I can barely get two posts a week out.  But I had some extra time and some extra photos so I thought better to share...




a little burlap, white dishes and some stone chickens....
a dash of vintage and all is good


some summer gardening.... now at 20% off - hot dog!



super cute mini chalk boards


and pearls and chicks OR should I say chicks on pearls... how many chickens do you see nesting with strands of pearls.... only at the RBPCo. my good friends.




Is the economy finally turning around or do you guys just love our goods?? Anyway you look at it, keep coming in and showing your love.  We will share our love back!!!

Remember a store-wide sale for you until Sunday.

All the reds and whites and blacks AND chickens and pigs and cows

AT the Barn

Store wide sale.

Happy Mother's Day too all of you mother's.
Oh happy day to all of you non-mother's.




I have been saving these spring photos of one of my recent photo shoots for a special day.

This is a SPECIAL day.



I hope you enjoy



Ashley and I schlepped the settee down to the flower bed...

not the easiest thing to do with my little chicken arms.
what we do for a damn photograph.





the pond in the back ground sits in front of my Barn and the flower bed beside that



Ash needed a little sit down break....

Happy Mother's Day MOM

I am always talking about "the Barn" or "my Barn" so here is proof... it really is a Barn.

Here is a few outside shots...






on the warm sunny days we haul things outside


sometimes we park outside and enjoy the sunshine...


one left....I love my rusty metal chickens...

farmhouse blues


Farmhouse Blues...
We have lost our sunshine...our mojo...our energy source...

It has been a LONG rain filled weekend with more to come...

As my friend Christine would say, "Boo."
... as in NO GOOD!

So I have been whipping up new vignettes at the Barn pretending like the sun shines. Actually, the barn gives me a boost, an inner power. It must because I am like the energizer bunny when I am here. I think my guests feel it too... It is good to be at my Barn.

So here we go...a little farmhouse here, a little bit more over there...




the blue metal tin... the blue topped bench...


It's always time to decorate... isn't it? Or is it just me..



Look at this vintage display piece....
I don't know why it is not in my own kitchen...

Oh, I love it so...




If you haven't paged through this one you are missing out...


Oh no, the over head lights are going off... I guess it is time to split...  time to go home and play.


I hope it is sunny and warm where you are.
I hope the birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming.

I hope you are safe.


Upcoming news for the week:
Check Facebook for our specials... Like us as we are offering a free gift this week.

I am ordering the June issue of Jeanne d'Arc Living. I didn't think they could pull off a monthly publication, but each issue is better then the last.  I can't wait to see the next issue.

On the blog arena, I have some outdoor shots coming, both at the Barn and the neighboring flower gardens.

I mentioned earlier that I was working on my studio at home.
I have been, and it is almost ready for photos...

And it is only Sunday....

Layer it on. Change it up.

Time for a refresh. Have you ever looked at an area in your house and thought I am done looking at that mess.   Or maybe it's just time...
