Farm & Frills

May 12, 2015

Farm & Frills (1 of 14)

This weekend I went to Farm & Frills antique show in Enumclaw, Washington. It was amazing and totally worth the drive.

The show consisted of knickknacks, homemade items, furniture, and unique planters (like聽the old fashion washer machine below). The prices were super affordable. I bought a coffee table, an ottoman, and a few other items.

In the beginning I felt overwhelmed, there were so many treasures to ooh and ahh over. We made one round, then circled back to make our purchases. At this point聽a lot of the items had sold, and vendors were rearranging their booths to fill in the space. Some of the vendors also have a local shop. I made sure to grab flyers/cards for future adventures.

The holiday staycation is officially over. It took me a few days to decompress and switch from work to vacation mode. I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to unwind but I eventually did. 聽I hardly accomplished anything on my to-do list, but I still had a lot of fun and even ended up taking a quick trip to eastern Washington to visit my in-laws.

During my vacation my best friend and I visited the聽Pacific Galleries Antique Mall聽in Sodo. It was our first time checking it out. The space is 30,000 square feet and includes an auction house. Styles range from French provincial, Danish, Mid-Century Modern, Victorian,聽and industrial chic.

My favorite part of the mall was towards the back. In this space there is elaborate furniture and unique chandeliers made out of unusual materials聽– very inspiring for an interior decorator or someone who is furnishing a home.

Farm & Frills

December 8, 2014

photo 1This聽weekend my聽best friend and I went to Farm & Frills Vintage Christmas Bazaar at the Riverside Valley Grange. This was their second annual Christmas event and our first time attending. 聽I was expecting a larger venue but instead found that it was in聽a聽tiny house. That did not limit the amount of treasures that we found.

The exterior was festively decorated and the perfect setting for some photos.

photo 7photo 11photo 4The booths inside were perfectly curated and so聽lovely. Stefanie and I visited聽each spot and then circled back to make our purchases. We both bought decorative windows that can be hung on a wall. I also bought some vintage ornaments, the most adorable white porcelain cat figurines (with metallic gold and red dots), and a mason jar filled with vintage baubles.

We finished up and decided to head over聽to Sumner. The downtown area on Main Street is so quaint and delightful. Stefanie and I stopped for lunch and then went to explore.

We saw the cutest window display at Madame Hatter.

Another place to check out is聽New England Saltbox.

Persnickety’s聽Emporium –聽聽Amazing furniture and decor. A definite must see.

NorthLight Interiors聽–聽Beautifully decorated but also very expensive.

Visiting the stores in Sumner got me in the holiday spirit and in the mood to decorate.

The Farm & Frills Holiday Bazaar was also a聽treat! Steff and I were both聽impressed with the presentation and the inexpensive prices. The next Farm & Frills is scheduled for聽May 9, 2015 at the Enumclaw Expo Center. It’s on our calendar.

Do you like聽interior design and decorating your space? Where do you find inspiration?

Tacoma Proctor District

November 26, 2014

My聽mom and I visited the Proctor District in Tacoma last聽weekend. This beautiful area has Victorian homes, shops and restaurants.

Our first stop was Hidden Treasures Antiques & Collectibles. The color of the building caught聽my eye immediately with horizontal pink and blue stripes. The window displays were perfectly curated, so we decided to explore.

DSC_0008DSC_0017Inside the store was a lovely cabinet filled with聽odds and ends. I loved聽the pink Pyrex bowl! The rest of the store had聽more collectibles聽and聽antiques, along with on-trend clothing from the聽Simply Elegant Boutique.

DSC_0024DSC_0025Our next stop was at a聽candy shop called Sugar. It had聽the most adorable store front window! My mom and I each bought a bag of Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels.

DSC_0066DSC_0064For lunch we stopped聽at Pomodoro, but not before walking through the local farmers market. The market was winding down for the day聽so we will have to make another trip.

After lunch we went to Compass Rose. So many unique pieces and gifts; artisan jewelry, housewares, baby/kid’s clothing and toys, locally made goods, cards and books. I got a head start on my Christmas shopping and purchased the cutest聽bear pillow聽made out of Pendleton blankets for myself.

The gal at the register recommended that we check out The Modern Cottage Co. The store was聽beautiful and had lots of聽shabby chic furniture and home decor. My dream home could be completely decorated with聽Modern Cottage pieces.

Antique Weekend

November 17, 2014

DSC_0038 (resized)Two聽weekends ago my best friend invited my mom and I to attend the Antique & Collectible Show at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. The show happens twice a year and features items from the 1800s to the 1970s. Growing up my mom was always antiquing and decorating our home. At one point she had a spot at an antique mall. I would help her decorate and price the items. It was a fun hobby that we both enjoyed.

The show itself was full of聽knickknacks and vintage jewelry (my fav!). I was certain that I wouldn’t buy much because I don’t have the space. I聽still managed to get in trouble with聽some amazing vintage baubles! A lot of the pieces that I purchased were from the 30s and 50s.

The聽vintage toys and books brought back some nostalgia for my childhood.

Another item that I purchased was this cute Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear book that reminded me of the children’s rhyme :

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
A bear was Fuzzy Wuzzy
But Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
So he wasn’t fuzzy, was he?

DSC_0053

Overall the show was good but came up short in the furniture department. My mom was hoping to spot some unique pieces聽but there was hardly any furniture at the event. I did get two recommendations from a vendor, one was for Farm & Frills antique show聽and聽The Farm Chicks Antique聽Show that takes place in Spokane, WA聽Saturday, June 6, 2015聽&聽Sunday, June 7, 2015.

The Farm Chicks Antique show is described as a “bucket list” event with 300 curated spaces filled with聽antiques, vintage and聽shabby chic items. I hope I can attend the 2015 show. Check out this Farm Chick video from 2013.
