Fifi's Guest House

 We always love it when a customer or friend sends us pictures of how they are using one of our items!  So I was delighted to get some pictures from Fifi this week showing the paper garland in her guest house. 

 First of all, I'd be over the moon if I HAD a guest house but wouldn't you just swoon if you could have one that looks like this?!

Those darling pillows are part of a new line that she will have available soon called Prairie Pretties.

I may not have a guest house but I'm in the process of getting my "main" house back in order.  You wouldn't believe the chaos we create from one sale to the next, not to mention all the homeschool stuff.  Once we are beyond the next month, I get to be a homebody again.  I can't wait to show you some of the new ideas for our old rooms!  But first, it's holiday barn sale time!!

We are linking up today with

Pictures from Nellies Barn Sale

Check out that harvest table!

We were at the Nellies Barn Sale this last weekend and they had the most beautiful handmade harvest table front and center.  My camera battery died before I could get pictures of everyone's booths but you can see more photos HERE, HERE and HERE.  It was a beautiful weekend with beautiful friends.  We are so grateful to those of you who made the trip to come and see us!!

 In between the Na-Da Farm sale and the Nellies Barn Sale, our family took off to hideaway for a bit at a log cabin in Galena, IL.

  

We still had to do school work but the recess time was so much more interesting!

I'd love to tell you all about the trip but the truth is that I fell into bed the moment we got there and except for school work, I slept through the entire thing.  Mr. Blessing and the kids had loads of fun on the trails and star gazing at night but all I wanted was some serious sleep!

Nellie's Barn Sale

Although Mr. Blessing and I have set up at loads of sales since June and have been blessed with lots of sweet customers, somehow there is still a storeroom full of  stuff!!  It's time to clearance out the inventory so we can get ready for the holidays.  We will be at the Nellie's Barn Sale this weekend, hoping that you'll stop by for a visit - not just at our tent but at all the other vendor tents too!  Yep, there's about 8 other vendors that have been painting and crafting and creating all Summer just for this event!!  If  you are in the Chicagoland/Wisconsin area, this is a super fun sale to visit!  

Tom the "Pumpkin Man" will be there with a huge selection of pumpkins available.

Musician, Kevin Baker, will be performing.

There have been large crowds in the past so get there early!
