Every year, I love creating a fun photo opportunity for visitors at the entrance of The Farm Chicks Fair. This year, I crafted a big bunch of cotton candy balloons, DIY'd to look like they were balloons made out of cotton candy. For me, cotton candy is fun. And happy....

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.
