I love how this topiary was made. They put the plant container on top of a birch log. Our day was spent dream shopping at the annual barn sale at MacKenzie-Childs and this large flower pot was on my list but they didn't have any.
Joe has been to six barn sales with me, and is always patient and sociable (and he actually enjoys the barn sale as much as I do)
We were up at 3:45 a.m., left the house at 5:15, arrived at the barn sale at 7:20, got in line and were in the barn at 8:07. We were the first wave of customers for the day even with the longish line. We left the sale around 10:30, and the wait appeared to be about three hours. I always seem to end up with five bags! Two of the bags each held a large item which will go on display in the Fall. The rug you see by the door was also a barn sale treasure.
Loving this Parchment Check vase. Once I unpack the other bags, I will share ;o)
Thanks for stopping by!

I Pinned the post..First of all love that first pic..and your skirt was perfect for the event!
ReplyDeleteLove the topiary:) Have to remember that..we had torrential rains..much needed but my huge borage plants..are toppled and destroyed..:(
Fun stuff..how neat that Joe goes and enjoys it all with you.
Love the mat for you..that porch chair:)
How frustrating to lose beloved plants due to Mother Nature. She can be so good to us at times.
DeleteI think I'll look at that first picture a lot this winter ;o)
What a wonderful sale! No barn sales around here. :( Wish there were!! Looks like a lovely day, and I can't wait to see what you have in those bags!!!!! Love the topiary and your rug and vase are delightful. Hurry and open those bags, please! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, hurry and open those bags! I enjoyed reading this SO much, and the photos are amazing. xxoo
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was a whirlwind! Lots of fun going on the "hunt" for that special item on our wish list, isn't it? Off to write my post!!
ReplyDeleteThat photo of your so relaxed looking out over the pond with all of the people in line must have been after your shopping was over ;) Great pictures! I wish I loved closer. What fun it must be to shop the event.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely after :-)
DeleteWhat fun and Joe is such a good sport! The topiary looks so pretty and what a great idea to use a birch log. I, too, loved the picture of you relaxing on the bench. The new rug would make me smile whenever I entered the door. I look forward to seeing what's on those bags, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour new door mat gave me a big smile-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteSince Texas is just too far away, I always enjoy seeing your goodies! Looks like fun. The on-line sales just don't give the same gratification. Thanks for sharing with us. xo
ReplyDeleteAs you might guess, this Barn Sale is #1 on My Bucket List.....
ReplyDeleteToo far away, tho, from Texas.
I know you had such a good time and bought so many goodies. Loving the Parchment, too.
BJ, you and Marlis need to plan a road trip from TX!
DeleteHow did I forget that you go every year???? I wish that one day I might be able to do this. The Holiday Tartan pieces literally swept me off my feet this year. I was good though and waited till they had them on sale on line... But boy could have used more!!! It looks was fun. And by the way, this popped up in my inbox this morning.. 2/26/16. Strange happenings on the web these days!
ReplyDeleteVery strange Marlis! It was nice to dream though :-) Love seeing you on Pinterest.
