Right before the May event this year, Polly called to ask if she could come and take photographs of the sale for her magazine...'AWESOME!' I said...

when we met at the sale...she looked awesome in lace and boots...like Magnolia Pearl really...just beautiful...

she gave me a cuff she hand made, and also introduced me to her beautiful family...

Polly is a great role model for any woman...she's a morally good and devoted woman to her husband and children, and God...and it shows...

She owns a very successful online shop: FRENCH CUPBOARD, and a great shop of her own


I'm so blessed to have met her - and invited her to join us this October at the sale - surprisingly enough, to both of us, she lives very near the farm!!!  She thought I lived a day's car ride and I thought she lived in Minnesota...funny!!

Her talent and spirit intertwined into this event is super exciting for me...and all who shop...

all of these items I have shown you in this post will be available at the upcoming event here at the farm at the October Barn Sale...

local shout out...
 (a HUGE THANKS to all you talented women near the farm who have been so enthusiastic and supportive for this event...putting out fliers and all...it's just great! thanks!!)


Since Polly lives so close, she even made it to our big party a few weeks back, and took these great pictures of my little wash station that was outside the port-a-potty




you can visit Polly here

hope you all had a great weekend...
xo+blessings,

  4. Well, that beautiful pitcher and basin must have given the port-a-potty the treat of its life! How can it go back to grubby plastic and paper towels now?

    How lovely for you to have found a new friend so near~

  6. Your barn sale is coming fast, and I am sure you are swamped. I wish you the best luck for a wonderful sale. But I don't think you need any luck from me! It is one of those things that will just get bigger and better. I am so excited to see all the gorgeous pictures you will be sharing of this wonderful event. Just like they say, if you build it, they will come'!
    I missed some of your beautiful posts, and was able to go back and catch up tonight. In case I haven't said it before...you inspire me so much!

    hugs to you...

  10. Super cute idea. I will remember the outside wash station idea next time we have a party- and the blue porta arrives! Much cuter than my jumbo jat of hand sanitizer- though maybe I could put that in a cuter jar...Hope you are feeling better. I was super nauseous for about 4 months with each daughter...wowsa.
