Easter Table Decoration Nests
Creating a beautiful Easter table is such a happy task. This year I thought it'd be fun to create sweet little egg-filled nests and place one on each plate as part of a lovely Easter and springlike tablescape. The best part is that it takes just a few supplies and not...
Favorite Foods at Pike Place Market
My family and I have been visiting Pike Place Market for many years now and have a love of this iconic Seattle spot. And although it's considered a touristy place to visit, it's also frequented by locals because its offerings are so incredibly wonderful and the long...
Barrettes are Back in Style!
It's another fun style season and I love that barrettes are back in style! They've slowly been showing up here and there over the last year, but really came to the forefront recently at New York Fashion Week. Everything from decorative bobby pins to simple clips,...
The Inn at the Market, Seattle
I partnered with the Inn at the Market in Seattle while Colin and I were visiting the city for a recent project. It has always been such a favorite hotel for us. Nestled into the hillside, just steps away from Pike Place Market, it's like getting the most perfect...
Exploring Seattle’s International District
The Seattle International District is a favorite area of the city for me to visit. Although it's not huge, like some major cities, there are lots of great restaurants, cafes, and bakeries to try and some neat shopping too. It's a fun option if you're looking for a new...
The Farm Chicks Fair 2019 Poster
Each year, after I choose the theme for The Farm Chicks Fair, my focus turns to how I want to turn that theme into a poster for the event and the rest of that year's marketing materials. Much of my inspiration comes to me when I'm traveling because my mind is a lot...
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!
ALL ABOUT THE FAIR
The Farm Chicks Fair Birdhouse Display
One of my very favorite parts of The Farm Chicks Vintage Fair each year is coming up with a theme and then carrying it through every aspect of the show all leading up to the installation display at the main entrance. It is SO FUN for me. This year's event had a birds...
The Farm Chicks Fair Curators
This week I've been talking all about curating. It's something I really believe in, so it makes sense that I apply the concept to The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair as well. It all begins when I start pulling together all of the folks who will be selling...
Making The 2014 Farm Chicks Fair Poster
Each year when gearing up for The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair, I put a great deal of thought into what the theme for the year will be and what I'm hoping to express, and following that decision comes the creation of the year's poster and promotional...
AROUND THE HOME
DIY Gilded Letter Christmas Window Greeting
A few years ago, my friend Tiffany and I visited New York City during the holidays. It’s such a beautiful time of the year to visit, with the charm of the urban tree lots, Union Square Holiday Market(which is a U.S. version of Europe's Christmas markets and really...
The Epiphany Tradition of Chalking the Door
Something you might notice while visiting Europe are homes with their doorways marked with letters and numbers chalk. (You may see this in the U.S. as well, but it's not as widely common as in Europe). This is an Epiphany tradition. Each year on the Epiphany (January...
Decorating with Autumn Plants & Produce
I tend to make vignettes at home using the most simple objects. Oftentimes, that means using the produce that's in season. Simply gather produce that when gathered together tells a lovely decorative story. In this case, natural and neutral colors were speaking to me....
