Woods and Chaps

The IT team, known in these parts as the Geek Squad, may have one little laptop with this blog on it for an itty-bit of time. NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET!! damn.... still seeing "no space left" messages, so back to the fix-it I go!

Before I sign-off again for a brief (unwanted) respite.... I promised more details on the fun, frolic and creativity of Farm Chicks and the whole Spokane area!  So, giddy-up..... on the road again!

At some brilliant moment of "I Remember", we recollected that the Farm Chicks had them some friends in the restaurant business. After browsing the Internet we came upon our dinner salvation....

CHAPS!! a restaurant/bakery/decorator paradise/junking finds showcase that called out our names. With Doris Day the GPS in tow, we headed toward downtown Spokane. In the most mundane, unassuming, unfit for Chaps strip mall - there it sat! Every Farm Chick followers dream.

Our waiter was a dream. Dinner was served outdoors on the lawn. Simple. Country. Fresh. Wine. Friends.....  oh, and even a friend from high school met up with us. DELIGHTFUL!

Giddy.
Oh, how we loved the LOOK of Chaps!

Again, please excuse the quality of these photos...



that's a bathroom light fixture! soooo cool

 The sun had set, the air was cool, and we hadn't stopped laughing.... couldn't bear to leave yet. I do believe we were purt near the last to go!! Coffee, cupcakes and a bluegrass band kept us til late eve.
And once the sweet waiter agreed to help us commemorate the moment on film (uhm, digital).. well, it was so dark that the images are blurred. I've kept them nonetheless.... these make me smile ~

Junking on the Farm

Red arm band and bright yellow tennies, burlap satchel and cash for treasures - armed and ready for my first time at the Farm Chicks Show. HOLLER!!!  Women cued-up in cowgirl boots pulling fabric lined shopping carts behind them....  waiting for nine a.m.....

sorry the photos are not from my new camera... the quality is poor ~

Impressive displays, friendly junkers and an afternoon of laughter, ooohs & aaahhhs!!  

Farm Chicks did not disappoint. We traveled quite a distance......

No!! not in this jalopy....   

Not all of our time was strolling the aisles of the fairgrounds. Our traveling karma was beyond amazing. We happened upon many great establishments. How about I share those tomorrow?                                       

Will this become an annual adventure? Shall we venture out to new found shows? Just glad to experience the town of Spokane and this event of national renown. GO! Farm Chicks - far and wide! 

                  

Unable To Talk

So much to see at Farm Chicks!

Loads to share!

Far too exhausted to talk!


FARM CHICKS ROCKED!!!

Hello, Goodbye...

Trust me when I say that I'm mighty unsure of myself and this computer stuff.....  Boy has it been a tangled web of crud to get myself to this post! I am glad excited THRILLED OVER THE MOON..
that I'm able to journal again!!

HELLO!!! It's me! I've thought about you for a long, long time...

and that something wrong he's singing about in this video.... well, it was simply not my doing - the technology at my house was having many issues. I'm hoping they're fixed.

Now, I'm back... yet, I'm leaving again!  Flying North to Washington tomorrow. Visiting a place I've wished I could go. An antique show called Farm Chicks!!!  Very excited to pack a bag, hop on a plane, chat with new friends....  apparently my Mom was right -

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER!!

My two travel mates will be getting token gift bags from me - just because! Wanna see them??

monkeys for our toes!

Hoping to make our travel hours more bearable with the stuff inside the bags. I'm fairly sure time will fly - ALWAYS DOES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN!!!  I promise to be back soon!!
