FarmHouseFare

Here we go again!! This is a fabulous sale that happens twice a year at the Manor Grange. Take a look and I hope to see you there. 

To all who came out for our sale, Thank You! It was a lot of fun. I don't have any pictures of the days because I was to busy.  We got a kick out of the guys who came to escort their wives because they usually all stopped by the dessert counter or bought lunch. We hope to repeat the good times sometime this fall. I've been working on more finds so it will be good.  Tootles for now and I will post once we know more. 

We're one week before our Farm House Faire flea market style sale. Yippy!! Besides our normal offerings of totally cute classy and fun furnishings and decor, we have a special vendor who will be offering her home made concrete planters, burning bowls and decor pieces.  When you come be sure to enter our Friday evening drawing. We're giving away neat items like sugar scrub, plants, signs and other fun goodies.  As you stroll the grounds shopping you are welcome to the many offerings at the dessert bar. Saturday we will also be saleing lunch as well.  We look forward to seeing you. 

Check out this sale.  Since we live so close to each other, we hope you will stop by both of our sales. This will be a wonderfully fun couple of days. Great finds to be had since this is the last sale for the Randall Woods location. We hope to do some sales together here or around so keep posted. Check out Randall Woods on Facebook.

For those of you who asked for my chalk paint recipe.  1 Cup Flat Latex Paint  2 1/2 Tbsp Plaster of Paris 1 1/2 Tbsp cool water Mix the cool water and plaster till smooth. Then add your FLAT latex paint in your favorite color. Mix well. (I used a stir stick and plastic measuring bucket from lowes). Now start painting. I would highly encourage you to apply a thin layer of chalk paint for this acts as your primer. on your furniture.  Once your last coat of paint is dry, lightly sand with 400 grit sand paper then add your soft clear wax or lacquer. I thin my wax down with a smidge of mineral spirits so the wax goes on smooth and wasy. When applying the wax, load your rag or preferably your annie sloan paint brush sparingly and work quickly to get a thin coat.  When applying the dark wax alway apply the clear wax first or the dark wax will penetrate into your paint and it'll be uneven and hard to work with. Now while applying the dark wax I prefer to go light first then darker as desi
