WEEK THREE

Dana spent the afternoon working in the Barn this past Saturday. There were lots of great and interesting finds that it was hard not to buy something! She found a curling iron from the early 1900's and a round-shaped wooden darning egg, at least 50 years old...and you bet, both will be used.

We dropped off more stock today - linens, crocheted doilies, evening bags and few other odds and ends. This weekend is the annual "Holiday Journey Excursion" - please see Babette's Facebook fan page for more information -- and we'd love it if you joined the growing list of wonderful fans.

On the online store front: special items are being set aside for sale on etsy; beaded evening bags, seamed stockings, hats, Avon collectibles, jewelry and much more! We are very excited to launch the online shop, it is a bit more work...snappin' and figuring out shipping, etc...so hang in there -- we hope to be up and running very soon. Thanks for your patience and support!

See you next week!


Love,
Babette

WEEK TWO

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Barn this weekend. We hope you found some interesting pieces and enjoyed cider and cookies. There will be another opportunity to save on December 12...more to follow.

Currently, focus has shifted to the Etsy shop. Please be patient, as getting the items prepped and ready for online listing is pretty time consuming.

Dana is also looking into doing a trunk show at some point after the Holidays. We are also interested in offering some of the stock to sell in "mini collections".....so if you are obsessed with something in particular, feel free to write!

Love,
Babette

WEEK ONE

Well, it's been exactly one week since Dana began getting her vintage goods ready for Shawnee Country Barns Antique Co-Op. We were looking for somewhere in addition to Etsy.com to sell her vintage...just happened to be driving by and when they had some space available, we took it! Now, almost 200 items have been carefully selected to showcase at the Barn. And just in time for their winter open house; "Christmas in the Country."

November 27, 28 & 29 - Stop on by....15% off everything in the Barn.

They are also serving up hot mulled cider and homemade cookies!

Keep checking back for updates...more items being prepared daily! Online shop coming soon...

Love,
Babette

First Installation @ Shawnee Country Barns

Less than a week in the making and we have prepped and priced over 150 items to start off in the Barn.... Danielle and Dana loaded it in yesterday afternoon. Although the space is small, there is room for at least another 100 items! We will be adding more to the inventory daily....

Special thanks to Danielle and Debbie for all their help!

Love,
Babette
