SERENA’S LIFE
Meet Our Builder
We've emerged from the decision making process on who will be building our new home. And getting through it proved to be stressful for both Colin and me. One morning, we both awoke at 3 a.m. with the decision weighing heavily on our minds. It's a lot to think about...
My Gypsy Wagon
When the journey in our family gypsy wagon came to an end, we settled down in a little shack on the Klamath River in Northern California in a place called Croy Gulch. The gulch was hot and dry and suffering from several years of drought. Rattle snakes ruled the land,...
Refreshment
It was always so quiet in our 40 acre woods and I'd wander off to the cliffs where the wind would blow and I could gaze at all of the succulents growing on the rocks. I'd look down onto the forest below and wonder what was there under that canopy of trees. Then I'd...
Today
This morning dawned with a wispy haze that made the prairie look so romantic. The color of the day always affects what I choose to wear. I love pink and gray. Actually, I love pink and anything. Micah eats about 900 bowls of Cheerios to start the day. I can't...
My Print, AD FC
I have a love for beautiful art and I think it comes from years of watching my parents collecting old prints and paintings. At some point in my teens, they fell in love with Architectural Digest and were so inspired by the homes they saw that they decided to paint our...
Reunited
This morning we awoke to our first snow of the season and I was reunited with the snowblower, which I think is one of the greatest inventions ever. It makes life so easy. When I was a little girl, snow meant life was going to be a challenge for a while. Our three mile...
Princess Leia
Growing up, we never had typical halloween costumes. Maybe because we were a hippy family who stood out from the pack anyway. No costumes required. But I was a child of the Seventies and had seen Star Wars. So, I donned my coolest paisley sundress, threw on my...
Pops
Whenever I get a stomachache, I think back to my Pops and his big strong hands, rubbing my frequent childhood stomachaches away. He had a way of making everything better, and I was sure he was some sort of superman. Well, he was actually. When I discovered a...
Finding My Way
Over the last couple of weeks, I've received lots of emails and calls, checking in on me while I'm adjusting to my business as a solo venture. One thing I've learned throughout my life, is that there are many twists and turns, opportunities, and adventures. And even...
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!
