Our Farmhouse Basement Construction
Last week the radiant floor heating tubes were installed in the basement. We've grown to love radiant heat, which, simply put, warms the floors in your home, and performs as the heat source. The tubes are installed over insulation and are then encased in...
Breaking Ground
The work on our new farmhouse on GreenBluff has just begun! They started cutting in the driveway yesterday and will be adding the driveway fabric and rock today. We've been working with a landscape designer to design the placement of the driveway and future...
Easter Platters
Adding an Easter egg-themed touch to your dinner table is really simple. Simply take platters and cut colorful paper napkins in the shape of an egg to line the platter. Use for serving rolls or other dry items. To use for serving veggies, simply cover the paper napkin...
Easter Place Settings
Cute little place settings are such a fun addition to the Easter table. For these little egg cup markers, I simply filled each one with rice, topped them with moss and poked little handmade toothpick flags in with each person's name. MEET SERENA! Stay-at-home mom,...
Re-Covering My Kitchen Table in Oilcloth
So many of you have contacted me in regards to the covering on my kitchen table. My table, featured on page 140 of The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen, has been in our home since Colin and I were married. And after many years of use, it began to show some wear. But...
Christmas Cookie Wreath Centerpiece

Mr. Blue Sky (aka Lukie) went to make some cookies last night and was a little surprised at the state of the recipe box. "How do you find anything in here?", he asked. It needed a fix-up. But I was tired of the boring little dividers and thought that I should make...
How to Host a Tiny Party!
I had a tiny party with my nieces, Chloe and Annie and their mom (my sis-in-law) Alison this weekend. Everything was tiny - except the fun. We made tiny aprons for all their dolls and tiny dishtowels too. And then we packaged it all up in tiny little bags for the...
IT'S ME, SERENA!
In 2002, I was dreaming of creating a fun and happy little event to sell my vintage and handmade goods. In 2002, I held my first event in my neighbor's barn along with a handful of friends. The sale became wildly popular and began attracting visitors from across the country and recognition in national magazines. Today The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair fills the Spokane County Fairgrounds and features hundreds of creatively and carefully curated spaces packed with vintage and handmade goods. Many describe it as a bucket list event, magical, inspirational, and the best event of its kind in the USA. I describe it as the best weekend of the year!
