Barn Marche

How can you not love this:  Yesterday, I was poking around

My Favorite Find - which is a new enterprise by

Farm Chicks originator Serena Thompson.

And I see a little shoppe listed, named Sweet Kaity.

It turns out, it is a little Etsy shoppe.  When I follow the link, 

I spot these rockin' new old stock ice cream cups:

And I think, yowsa yowsa, those would look so swell

in my red barn kitchen.

And by red barn kitchen, I mean my fun kitchen in the barn, where we entertain and watch Gonzaga Basketball (Go Zags).  The kitchen I am (shamelessly) showing off, right now.

Anyway, these little red ice cream cups are old, but new, and she has them listed for a really reasonable price.  So I wander in, pay with PayPal and it is an easy squeezy transaction.  By day's end, I'd received shipping notification that my new little "find" was on its way.

Turns out that little Etsy gal is in my own hometown (as is Farm Chicks) (I know, I'm a lucky lucky girl).  And this morning, the package was delivered to my back porch.

Where I tore it open (really nice mailing presentation, Sweet Kaity) and

couldn't wait to get them out to the barn.

Aren't they grand!

So, this is what I have to say today:

1.  If I had a small Etsy shoppe, or an antique store or antique funky chicky event happening (anywhere in the country) - I'd sure as heck list with My Favorite Find.  

'Cause I know I'm going to be spending time there, likely shopping,

and, if my pocketbook allows, planning travel to some of those other

rockin' events listed.

and

2.  You should see my barn sometime.
