Country Living Fair ~ Urban Farmhouse

I'm a little late on my posts from the Country Living Fair 2010 in Columbus Ohio. But it's still worth sharing!

I wish we could have taken photos of each and every booth. But between my purchases and the crowds, we just couldn't. Most of what I'm sharing was early on in the day.

Have you ever gone to shop or antique store and walked in and thought "Wow! I could just move right in!"? That's how I felt about the Urban Farmhouse booth!



I spent a lot of time here! I purchased some vintage silver and a large shabby green basket. After the holidays I'm going to have an arrangement made in it for my fireplace hearth. I'll show you then!




Urban Farmhouse has a beautiful website. You can visit them there!

I have a few more interesting booths I'd like to share and then our trip to the amazingly HUGE antique malls! So please stop back. You can sign up on the right of this blog for email notifications of new posts.

Until next time...HAPPY AUTUMN!

Country Living Fair 2010 ~ Earth Angels

As promised...a little bit more about the Country Living Fair in Columbus Ohio, 2010!

I can honestly say I enjoyed every booth at the fair. Such a eye-catching displays with wonderful items!

The Earth Angels booth had to be the biggest tent at that fair. If you love whimsy this is the place you wanted to be! As you can see, it was quite popular!

Colorful artwork.

Wonderfully repurposed vintage items. So much that my husband and I couldn't take pictures of it all. There was beautifully recycled jewelry that made my heart go pitter-patter, sweet figurines, so much!


Also housed under this tent was the author of "Collecting Handkerchiefs," Rosanna Mihalick. As a linen lover and a hanky collector it was so exciting to meet her. She had the best whimsical collection of handkerchiefs that I've ever seen in one place. All for sale along with some great States hankies.

In addition to her amazing hankies, Rosanna also had gorgeous vintage quilts to sell.

Rosanna gave a workshop on Saturday "Living with and Loving Antique Linens." My biggest regret of my trip was missing this seminar! Our plan was to shop the Heart of Ohio Antique Mall in the morning and make it back to the fair in time. Unfortunately I got completely side tracked at the mall (the size is amazing - more on that to come!) I'm so hoping she'll be speaking next year. I'm scheduling in an extra day!



I have more to share so please stop back!

Sisters on the Fly at the Country Living Fair

Believe it or not the very first thing I notice was this WONDERFUL vintage PINK bike. Probably because I've been wanting an old fashioned coaster bike in pink for ages! (I guess my dusty mountain bike hanging untouched for years from the garage ceiling is a sign of old age.) This one would be so fun to ride or just display in the yard!

And then I noticed the trailer!! Oh my!! How cute is that? Cute enough to almost get me camping!

And then I peeked inside. Oh yeah...I'd camp in this beauty for sure!!!
Okay, I'll be honest, I'd park this darling in my backyard and stock it with a bottle of wine, a stack of Romantic Homes magazines, and a few cheesy romance novels. The potty and a shower would be just across the yard.
I may not be as adventurous as the Sisters on the Fly, but I sure do like their style!
