My Viking River Cruise
I first heard about Viking River Cruisesfrom my friend, Elaine, who highly recommended Viking, has traveled the world extensively, and been on countless ocean and river cruises. I've never been interested in an ocean cruise but a river cruise sounded slightly...
Nuremberg, Germany Christmas Markets
The last stop on our tour of Christmas Markets in Europe was Nuremberg, Germany. Out of all the cities we visited, the markets in Nuremberg were the easiest to navigate. Basically, once we got to the start of the first one, they all flowed into each other as we walked...
The Christmas Market at Thurn & Taxis Palace in Regensburg
After the first Christmas market we visited in Regensburg, I headed over to Thurn & Taxis Palace for the "Romantischer Weihnachtsmarkt" which translates to Romantic Christmas Market. I had high hopes that it would be great but ran into a few people along the walk...
Regensburg, Germany Christmas Markets
We had an early morning start in Regensburg, Germany, another stop on our tour of the wonderful Christmas Markets in Europe aboard a Viking River Cruise. We thought we were bundled up enough, but oh my goodness it was definitely the coldest day of our trip. Our goal...

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!

My Home Wrapping Station
One of my favorite items I added to my office after we were done building our farmhouse was this fun wrapping station. I love pretty packages, so it was important to me to have a space to be able to store my wrapping supplies. It's cute and functional too! I think...
