Farm Chicks, Here I Come


I've been silent with all my new year's resolutions, completely bashful and feeling really insecure because one was a biggie. I've been checking my e-mail all week like a mad person, and I just received word last night. It's official, I'm going to be a vendor for the farm chicks show! The show will be an indoor show on June 5 and 6 at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center.

I loved visiting the Farm Chicks Show last year, and I've been busy collecting and hunting down lovely old junk. I've been silent around here for the last few weeks. I'm so glad I can finally share the news! I did a few set ups and photoshoots for the application in my living room. I have to thank my dear friend Jessica for all of her help with the set up and the awesome photographers who helped me; Mike and Jeff.

It was so much fun. Jess and I felt like we were playing Barbies and setting up a play house. Do you remember those days? My sister and I spent hours setting up the perfect barbie house. When we were done we would argue about which house we would play at. "Tiffany" would plead with "Brenda" over the phone and beg for a sleepover at her house. We would sit and admire our little houses and leave them set up for days, as long as possible, often until a GI Joe war ensued and took them all down.

I must confess that the set up in my living room stayed up for a week. I couldn't part to take it down. I would stand looking at it, checking out the carefully placed items. I would stare at the red high heels and green glasses and wonder if my little dream could happen.

I'm excited and nervous.
