It's Fall Y'All!!

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year.  Brisk air, falling leaves, pumpkins, football, baking, bonfires, sweatshirts and, of course, Vintage shows and craft bazaars.  I went to Farm & Frills for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I loved it.  The fall show is located in Enumclaw, WA in a few old rustic buildings.  The vendors were great and I loved some of the displays.



Kissed by Chloe was one of my favorites at the show.  The booth was so girly with a touch of romance.  I love how she used the ladder to hold the chandelier.


JOHNBob had so many interesting and unique items.  There were a few items that I really wish I had taken home with me.  One is that AMAZING chair!  I'm still kicking myself for not buying it.


For those of you that don't know, I am obsessed with anything that has little cubbies or slots.  I would be in heaven if I could use these to organize my craft room.


Just a little peak at some of the other items from the show.  There is another one is spring and I can't wait to check it out.  There are a few more shows coming up this fall that I am very excited about, so stay tuned for those.
