Farmhouse Friday - Virtual Event Preparation

What is going on at the farmhouse today?  Well, Lisa and I are staging our vignettes for our virtual event "We Won't BAIT, You'll Have to WAIT"  Link here:

The weather is working in our favor today.  Our plan is to post pictures of each vignette with prices listed for each item on Saturday morning, 9 ish.  They will be listed only in the event.  Purchases will be picked up at the farm next week.

Well where to begin.  As mentioned, we had been stashing away items for the event at Tansy Hill Barn - Link here:

But, due to Covid 19 Safer At Home Orders, it was cancelled.  I also have a couple of buildings that may or may not be filled to capacity...oh, and 2 horse stalls and sheep pens...oh, and the lean under the barn....oh, and 2 trailers...oh, and...stop!  I think you get what I am saying.   Lisa and I will be focusing on selling our own "junk" this summer.  We may be doing an estate sale - large one - if the client's house sells - or it might be in the early fall.  But, on to today.  

Truthfully, the vignettes are not staged with tons of smalls, those are too hard to see virtually in staged groupings.  Mostly large items.  

Earlier in the week, I did clean under the lean and started pulling stuff to store under there.  We had quite the pile, not all will make the "cut" for this event, but will make an appearance at the Hide & Seek Pop Up I'm doing next Wednesday evening.  I will share the completed vignettes tomorrow after I post them to the event page.  Our plans for selling May 16th had to change due to Covid 19, but this was fun too.     








These are feeder/gates/doors for hog pens.  Rusty in just the right way.  I think the red one would make a cool planter and the galvenized one would make a great sign.  These have been in our barn for almost 20 years.  

In thinking about outdoor spaces, yours should represent you and the things you like.  Maybe your space is farmy with feeders and galvenized tubs.  Maybe your space is girly with milk glass vases and white patio furniture.  Maybe your space is rustic with barn board, bird houses and ladders.  Whatever your space is, keep in mind that you don't need to spend alot of money to make it comfortable.  Every one of the items we are selling is preowned.  They belonged to someone who loved to garden and now has passed on, however these items still have life.  I'm partial to used, but ones that have been enjoyed in a garden or patio are some of my favorites.  

Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.
