Hot chocolate - iced chocolate - any way you like it! I could not get enough of the iced hot chocolate- I enjoyed one each day- and could have had more!!! Super smart of them to put ice in- especially when it was as warm as it was! These sweet girls were all smiles and really enjoyed their booth! We are delighted to share in a great opportunity for them! |
Carol with Just Homemade jams and jellies- this stuff was selling like hotcakes!!!! |
Stephanie with The Chicken Coop Could you have any cuter of a lamp shade for a girls room than the ones above??? Pretty petticoats- they just make you want to twirl!! |
Tracy with Lonna from Threadbare Soul Lonna worked hard getting hats & wraps ready for the show- such a great amount of work! Super sweet- she was so happy to share in the weekend! (Cool cup Tracy is holding- Gig' Em Aggies!) |
Lana's booth Talented Friends Painted projects don't come much cuter than these goods from Lana! Such character is painted in each creation- we are happy she brought some fall color and cool Christmas characters along! |
Tai with Sweet Cactus Pink Anyone coming to our show would have thought this girl does shows every weekend- Tai had the coolest sign- as you can see, and a booth that was well thought out. Truth be known- this was her first show, and she Loved it!!!! We loved her happy personality, makes you want to spend more time in her booth with her cool finds!!! |
Monika with Sweetly Recycled I cannot drink anything out of a glass bottle now without thinking about Ms.Monika! Such time and talent goes into each of these beautiful creations! I'm thinking of saving a group of similar glass bottles for juice glasses! |
Kristen with Cherished Rounding out a corner, Kristen had a sign to go with any saying and furniture for the home as well- hand painted is the way to go!!! |
Burlap- It's the IN thing!!!! There were a lot of creative handmade burlap goods! Unfortunately- we are not sure exactly whose amazing booth this photo was taken in- so if any of you know- please tell us so we can give due credit! Gorgeous lampshade and pillows with fun flowers- a great addition to a living room!
Vintage Soul TX The time it takes to make these chalk signs is - well, lets just say a lot! They looked very inviting at the Vintage Soul booth- I wanted her to teach me how to do it, but it's not a simple thing! Their booth was buzzing all weekend- they enjoyed the show and we were so glad to have them with us!!!! |
cowgirl art by Suzanne at Rusted Gingham- I enjoy making fun sayings! A sweet friend that I took 'junkin' many years ago for one of her first trips bought the one that said 'love 2 junk' and was super excited to have it- she is addicted to junkin! |
Sweet little Lloyd being held by a friends daughter-he is the newborn son of the President and Activity Chair for the Gonzales County A&M Club- he needed a break from all the hard work!
Old Rusty Truck- Oh How you Make The Smile!!!! We (I) squealed when our friends pulled in the barn with it!!!! Key is in it- to take you where your imagination can go on the dirt roads!
Linda with Rusty Pearls Lovely vintage items all around here- Thanks Linda for bringing your Goods! |
Lisa with Adornments and Yuki with Packrats These ladies were smiles all weekend!!! Lisa and Yuki prepped for months for this show- and it showed! They had a blast and did great as well- those smiles would make anyone want to visit their booths! |
Happy Shoppers from all over the place- The above ones were just a few that Nancy captured! It was so great seeing groups of friends enjoying the day together! And, there were several 'couple' groups as well- we enjoy seeing the men shop, and then they would carry packages out to the car, then come in and sit for some coffee or a coke and visit! What a great time- and I love hearing 'Oh I remember Mom having one of those', or 'Grandma used to have one of those sitting by.....' you fill in the blank. I know to some people alot of this is just 'stuff', but to so many others they are memories that make them smile- and I'm glad we have a part in that! It takes a whole lot of work to coordinate something like our Barn Sale- and for me when I see people enjoying time with family and friends for a weekend and make it an annual affair- it makes it all so worth it!
Thank you to those of you that visited Historic Gonzales- the town merchants, B&B's hotels and restaurants were glad to have new faces!
Thank you all for being part of this sale and for helping it to grow over the past 5 years- we could not have done it without amazing vendors, and shoppers that come each year and then tell more friends and family! I love being able to promote family run businesses- our country was founded on those and I am glad to still be a part of that! Thanks for sharing in the Goods!!!!!
See ya next year for our 6th annual Barn Sale.
