I held the Poster Release Party for this year’s Farm Chicks Fairlast weekend at Madeleine’s Cafe and Patisseriein downtown Spokane. The treats were so delicious, the setting so darling, and I loved getting to celebrate with everyone who stopped by.
Note: Meg, who runs Madeleine’s, and I planned out all of the treats ahead of time (I’ll tell you more about that in tomorrow’s post) and everything was SO DELICIOUS. But I sincerely, truly, deeply hope that they’ll add the macarons topped with frosting and a raspberry (seen above) to their regular line-up at Madeleine’s. They were one of the most delicious treats I’ve ever had in my life, and my guests thought they were pretty spectacular too.

Tomorrow I’ll be posting about the specific details on bringing the poster to life through the party, the fun and simple decorations done with a very limited set-up time, and the take-away treats I shared with my guests!
IT'S ME, SERENA!
In 2002, I was dreaming of creating a fun and happy little event to sell my vintage and handmade goods. In 2002, I held my first event in my neighbor's barn along with a handful of friends. The sale became wildly popular and began attracting visitors from across the country and recognition in national magazines. Today The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair fills the Spokane County Fairgrounds and features hundreds of creatively and carefully curated spaces packed with vintage and handmade goods. Many describe it as a bucket list event, magical, inspirational, and the best event of its kind in the USA. I describe it as the best weekend of the year!
