Windmill Rescue

Operator...check.
Helpers...check.
We're off this morning to disassemble the antique windmill from my in-laws farm.  The future owners of their farm had no interest in the windmill that my father-in-law hauled back from North Dakota.  Being the junk lover that I am I could not let this piece of history possibly end up at the salvage yard or worse!  Nobody else wanted it until I asked for it!  You know what they say about the early bird.

Sold the Farm

After 45 years, my in-laws decided it was time to downsize. All of the kids are settled and are where they want to be so the house won't be staying in the family. They had a list of people, who through the years had told them.."if you ever decide to sell, let us know".  The list started with the family of the original owners.  Unfortunately they had moved to several different states and nobody was willing to move back to Yakima.  The second family on their list was just in the financing stages of building a new home.  Perfect timing!  So they have changed their plans and are purchasing this 1908 farmhouse.

The last month has been spent clearing out 3 barns, several outbuildings and the attic of the house.  Now I love my in laws to pieces, but have discovered they're H O A R D E R S!  Not the scary dead animal kind, but very organized and calculated!  How could I have missed this?  I've been part of this family for over 30 years and never realized that every nook and cranny is packed to the gills.

So this weekend we're having the...

SOLD THE FARM SALE

Bus to Barn House Flea cancelled

Due to the lack of response, I have to cancel the bus.
I'm sending a THANK YOU to all my fellow vendors who offered special door prizes just  for the gang that was going to travel to Battleground! Everyone who sent their money will be receiving their checks back...they will go out in the mail today.
On to more pleasant news...check out the lineup of vendors at Barn House's latest post.  I'm very honored to be included in this lineup.  Most I know from previous events or my many travels around the Pacific Northwest.  Amazing talent awaits you, and if you spend some time to chat, you'll find that these people have beautiful hearts as well.
The cleaning, pricing and packing continues as it seems I've gathered more than I realized!
My best...Kim

Flea Market

Traveled to Idaho last weekend, hit the road at 4:30 am and ended up here. 
The early bird does get the worm.
Rolene had rounded up some great vendors and her property was gorgeous.  My daughter fell in LOVE with Pinkie and is on the lookout for her twin.  There's a wedding being planned and she thought this would be a great beverage center. 
Loaded up my truck with great finds for Barn House and Clayson Farms!

This is what my island looks like...unpacking, cleaning, pricing...

2 more weekends to get everything done (oh the pressure!)

I'll choose Recess.  Sounds so much better than just being lazy!
Well maybe not lazy, just a totally different pace than what I've been accustomed to for the last 8 years.

The barn and my garage are starting to burst!  Fortunately for me, my husband doesn't notice exactly what has changed, he just asks if I've brought more stuff in!
I'm hunting and gathering for:
BarnHouse Flea Market.. July 31
American Primitives.. August 14
