The Farm Chicks App and a First Time Show Giveaway!
Are you headed to The Farm Chicks Antiques Show this weekend? Did you know there’s an App to help you with your visit? It’s true!
The Farm Chicks App is available for iPhone and iPad, and you can find it in the App store by searching for The Farm Chicks. And best of all, it’s free!
And guess what? For the first time in show history, we’re giving away a part of the big entrance display at the show. This year, I teamed up with the ladies at Pink Salvage Gallery and Deja Neu Furnishings who custom-built a part of the display. And once the show is over, we’ll be giving it away to one lucky winner! What is it? Hint: It’s very big, is made of wood, and frames things.
There are two ways to enter to win: Stop by Pink Salvage Gallery, located on Madison in Spokane and enter to win, or visit the Information Both at the show to enter.
We’ll be doing the drawing at 2pm on Saturday, at the show.

The Farm Chicks Show is held once a year in Spokane, Washington, always the first weekend of June. You can find more information here.
What We’re Chasing
This week in Farm Chicks Land it seems as if we’re all chasing something. Farm Chicks Antiques Show vendor, Connie Rogers, was last seen chasing balloons at the Walla Walla Balloon Stampede.
I’ve been chasing the sun, to get my garden and beds all planted, chasing minutes in the day to prep for my party,
and to get everything ready for the show. Like checking in on some new Farm Chicks shirts, getting printed by hand:
But mostly, we’re just chasing our dreams. The Farm Chicks Show is only one week away. What will you be chasing at the show?

Simple Arrangements
I adore having fresh flowers around the house, and my favorite cut flower arrangements are those that don’t really take a lot of thought. They seem more natural that way, and fit my farmhouse style. Take this arrangement for example, picked up from a roadside flower stand. If you have trouble putting flowers together, start with something simple like this – all the same flower. There are no rules – if you love it, then it’s perfect!
Finding Barn Red
I get asked a lot for my recommendation for the perfect “Barn Red”. The simple answer is that the classic American barn red is more brown than red.
To find your perfect shade:
- Go to the paint store and gather lots of paint chips. Any exterior line of paint will have shades of what they deem “Barn Red”. When you gather the chips, you’ll notice that they appear more brown than red, which can really make you second guess yourself with choosing the color. But trust me, you’re on the right path.
- Either take the paint chips to a barn you love and hold them up to the walls to find the best match, or do the same with pictures of barns that you love, chip by chip, until you find just the right one.
It’s as simple as that. With a little footwork, you too can find the perfect shade for you!
Little Cabin in the Woods
Every time I see this little cabin in the woods, I wish I could go inside and soak in all its sweetness. I don’t think she receives many visitors these days.
Hello front porch, have you seen anyone in a while?
Hello, back door. I love the treasures you’re keeping safe from the elements.
And you, best little kitchen cooling window I’ve ever seen, I wish I could bake a bunch of pies and place them on your shelves, for old-times sake.
How long since you’ve been opened?
How long since someone’s looked at you for your authority?
How long since someone’s danced around you as you baked?
Even though you’re cold right now, I can feel your warmth, little cabin.
And I will admire you, if only from outside, for all the days of my life.
Because you’re beautiful. Yes you are.
Tulip Trip
We took a trip to the tulips, on the other side of our beautiful Washington State. The Washington Bulb Company fields were bursting with happiness.
Would you like to come along with me through the fields? You’ll see the ground is wet and muddy – there’s a lot of rainfall here.
Rubber boots are a must.
Let’s go!
There’s field after field of daffodils too!
And the gardens at Roozengaarde are unbelievably stunning.
Now that’s some spring happiness isn’t it?!
The Washington Bulb Company and Roozengaarde are located in Washington State’s Skagit Valley, which is about one hour north of Seattle.
Tips for visiting the fields:
Arrive early. The fields get really busy, but if you arrive right at opening, you’ll avoid the lines and much of the crowds.
Bring a warm coat with a hood! The fields can be really breezy and rain is likely.
Wear rubber boots and pack a garbage bag and extra shoes. When you’re ready to leave, you can put your muddy boots into the garbage bag and change into your clean shoes.
Set time aside to drive the backroads in the area. The farms and farmhouses are dreamy.
Snow Goose Produce is such a lovely happy sweet little stop. Make sure you do! (Thank you to everyone on Facebook who recommended it to me!)
