My Family – the 1970’s Nomads

I recently came across this clipping from my childhood days growing up in my family's gypsy wagon home on wheels my dad built by hand. This article came from the Daily Inter Lake Newspaper in Kalispell, Montana, one of the many places we traveled through during our...

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...

All About Curating

This week I'm going to be talking about curating, what it means, and how it affects our lives. Who knew, right? I think when most people hear the word, curator, they think of a museum and the people who bring together a museum's collections. But curating is actually...

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 Kitchen – Part 5 (Pantry & Built-In)

My Kitchen – Part 5 (Pantry & Built-In)

When we were working with Nancy on the floor plan, the pantry started out quite large, which in my opinion, can't ever be big enough. (I store all our food in the pantry). Growing up, no matter how small our living space, my mom always had a larder and I really loved...

My Kitchen – Part 4 (Sink & Stove Wall)

My Kitchen – Part 4 (Sink & Stove Wall)

A challenge with my kitchen was the fact that I designed the wall of cabinets, as seen in earlier posts about my kitchen. In doing so, it really made the kitchen lopsided, with the wall of cabinets having a lot of weight, design-wise. What was left to deal with was...
