barn prep...

some sneak peeks of the decorating i'm doing for you!
  and a quick "checklist"
powerwash............check

hay bales moved.........check

inspiration for it all........check!!

 up before sunrise.........CHECK!


energy level.............check (but could be better...lol)

the sun rose amongst the prairie with a thick haze
(kind of how i started the day...and actually very much like a part of Bridgette's story...where do you think i get my ideas??...the prairie of course!)

and it was super awesome
(yes - i said awesome)



Bridgette has a conservatory in the story that she fixes up as much as the overgrown building can take......



lots of twigs


logs....roots....lots of natural elements.....


old weathered gates
i do have to use some things on the farm as display only - i know you understand why...

i even got a little help from my sweet one!!

notice the saddle in the wheelbarrow.....now that's the way to ride at the farm!

i'm seriously have the BEST time decorating for this sale...

dare i say even more than the May sale?

yes

i do dare say that!!!!!!

(i'll show you more this week...)

xo + blessings!!
