If you know me
you know
I am crazy
about setting up,
especially for my *events*
I always have grand ideas...
lots of grand ideas
but
as the days get closer
my list of *wants* and expectations
decrease.
There is never enough time.
No matter how much I think
I am ahead of the game.
This sale was no exception.
Thursday came.
It was time to get serious
about setting up.
I looked through my idea files
for simple (meaning quick) inspiration
and found this:

THANKS to
and
You girls rock
and
are my inspiration!

I think we can do that...
These doors have been just sitting in the barn
not being used.
Oh, honey...
easy, peasy,
fabulous backdrop!
So here you go
Enjoy!
another easy backdrop
with shutters
that I bought *years* ago
and had not used
This french blue with a glaze
was new for me.
It was a hot-seller!
another fun new color
These signs
were a new addition
this year.
I was so happy with how they turned out!

all in all
it turned out to be a great sale
with
great customers
and
great vendors!
The excitement and energy
were incredible!
That's all (I think!)
you'll hear about
the sale
You're probably getting tired of it.
I am
and
am ready
to move on to the next thing!

We did stop by! You did a gorgeous job!
Oh my! I want to live in your display. Please? =)
And I couldn't agree more about Theresa, TOT and Shelley!! They are like the magical mice that transformed Cinderella - Amazing inspiration on only a moments notice.
Thanks for sharing your space with us. It's gorgeous!! Blessings... Polly
Rene I'm so glad you showed pictures.
Your space turned out so nice. You did a great job. Everything came together just beautifully!
I'll have to look at your pictures for inspiration.
Oh I just love your whites. You never disapoint me. The ideas you give me not only for display but to make. I am going to spray paint my ugly brown picnic basket black tomorrow and put it into the new improved lovely shed. Have a most wonderful White Wednesday.
I love all these white displays! They look absolutely fabulous. ::Jill
Oh my I wish I lived closer ..your ideas and borrowed inspiration are my inspiration as well.
I set up for my marketplace tomorrow and I only wish I could make a set up like that but when your traveling it sure limits you to what you can do.
Your signs are positively wonderful and if I had a barn sale they would be my first choice I love using old photos.
Have a Lovely week
Blessings ..Sara
Wow to how you worked out that inspiration idea--the doors were such a good backdrop. As we say, "Good on ya."
Oh my here I'm reading your post and see my name, well aren't you just the sweetest and here I am thinking I come to you for inspiration. Thanks again, but you are the inspiring one!
Spectacular lovely! All your blood sweat and tears paid off! I wish I could have a few tear sheets for my inspiration book! I still miss paper! Jacqueline
Would love to have come. Everything looks wonderful in these pictures. Great job!
How beautiful everything looks! You truly have an eye for displays. Theresa may be YOUR inspiration, but YOU are mine!

My first barn sale .. it was a lot of fun. The hutch/shelf in the 7th & 8th picture is already hanging up in my guest bath. :) We arrived at 6:08 and most of the stuff on that table was already gone! Lesson learned!!!
Hi Rene, Oh so pretty! I love the windows with the shutters and the rose pitcher, it's gorgeous!

Hi Rene,
So glad to hear all your hard work was rewarded with a super successful event! Your displays are wonderful - I've always been a big fan of stacking, too - looks great!
Amanda
Rene I am in AWE once again!! You do amazing things with your vintage finds! If I could do half that good I would be happy...I think...oh probably not. I want it just like yours!! :)
I just got done mopping my floors and I mopped myself right into the computer room. Imgaine that?? I figured that way I had an excuse to get on and check out some WW posts.
Although...I will say...not good to mop yourself into a room and then find out you have to go potty. LOL
Hugs my dear friend!
Beautiful! I am so glad I happened by.
Honey, you should be writing a book! Those pictures are amazing, and I love what you did with the doors. And that porch railing. Thank YOU for the inspiration!
Happy White Wednesday!
