here's the exterior as of today. roof is on, with skylights for lot's of natural light. the sleeping porch will be finished off in the late spring. it has to "settle" before we can install the screened wall. and of course we can't paint until the spring.</div>

so, last saturday i shopped the most wonderful barn sale here in alberta.<br />
it was hosted by a sister team of "the vintage veranda" in cochrane, and the "olde farmhouse" in mapleridge, b.c. these fab gals pulled off an amazing sale, especially because it was their first. <br />
retail is detail, and these babes get it. <br />
there were all of my favourite local vendors in one place, plus a ton more i hadn't run into before. i'm sorry i didn't take enough photos of all of the killer booth displays. i was just having such a good time visiting, shopping and taking it all in.<br />
these kids turned it out! <br />
between the setting, the displays, super product AND great dealers, it was heavenly. </div>

it was soo worth the drive, just a few minuted north of cochrane. this is a barn that has never seen a horse! it was built just for fancy functions such as this sale. the whole property was just dreamy, the view of those purple peaks were postcard worthy.</div>

the fam jam spent a lovely few weeks on the stunning west coast of vancouver island, b.c. we rented a house on chesterman beach, and it was the bestest. tofino is a small coastal town at the very end of the trans canada highway. there wasn't much for junking there, unless you count excellent beach combing</div>

there was one little curiosity shop called "vargas treasures". it was a trip! it's owned and operated by a sweet, wee french gypsy. sandra vargas has led quite the life, her father was a well known costume designer in montreal, she was a magicians assistant. a real character! her shop is tiny and packed to the brim, everything beautifully displayed, and her jewelry showcases are to die for! the thing was, as you walked in, there is no lights, really. she doesn't turn the lights on for whatever reason. but she cheerily hands you your own flashlight. hilarious. me and g had our noses pressed against the showcases for so long, sandra finally said, my hip is too sore to bend over, why don't you help yourself! so g, played store and carefully pulled stuff out for me and the other customers, what a hoot. needless to say we both scooped up a few things, and went back later in our trip for more.</div>

it was a long, long, long winter around here, but we made it through and we got to celebrate the arrival of summertime at the "Vintage With Flair" show this past weekend. and for once we were selling, not buying, hee hee!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the sun shone for the 2 days of vintage shopping fun in the charming tiny hamlet of Priddis, Alberta. it is the most beautiful, lush, country setting. the show and sale was a great success for all. g and i had 2 booths, one in the hall and one in the giant tent. we sold a ton of great junk and re connected with some old friends and customers. plus made a few new ones. here's a few photos of our stuff. if you would like to see more photos of the whole show check out "Vintage With Flair" FB page and their blog.</div>

<br />
"bloomsbury cowgirl" is the theme for my booth in the hall. all english and western at the same time. elegant and country. fine english silver with frayed denim, flowers everywhere, and old leather. all inspired by the paintings of vanessa bell and duncan grant. the writings of virginia woolf and oscar wilde. all with beat up cowboy boots on.<br />
<br />
in the tent we are introducing our new idea, called "vintage makers supply". it's all sorts of the little vintage-y bits and bobs to use to make new creations. trays of broken pocket watches, old spools, rusty hardware, game pieces, stuff like that.<br />
<br />
<br />
here's a few photos to tease you a little. some things will be on offer at the show. some are photos of my work space. xxo<br />

so, last weekend we went junkin' somewhere we have never hunted before. it was a pre-demolition, junk sale and art auction.<br />
<br />
here's the scoop. the king edward school in calgary is being converted to a fabulous "art hub". most of the school was built in the 1920's, but there is an addition was built in the 1950's, that section is being torn down. the organizer's had some of the old school equipment to sell, and they also offered some nice original art for auction, with partial proceeds going toward's this new hub situation.<br />
<br />
me and g had to go!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x9eFG2iZisw/UnSuQmgzoHI/AAAAAAAAARw/6dbACUFA7r4/s1600/DSC04484.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x9eFG2iZisw/UnSuQmgzoHI/AAAAAAAAARw/6dbACUFA7r4/s400/DSC04484.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
i picked up a couple of goodies. the winter carnival queen trophy for the 1950's, some rifle safety and procedure posters for the '50's. they actually had a gun range in the school at one point. and a really cool mix media piece by one of my favourite calgarian artists, dean stanton.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iCWpIgseWSQ/UnSpv40X5_I/AAAAAAAAAQw/LRxNWlDSZ6Y/s1600/DSC04479.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iCWpIgseWSQ/UnSpv40X5_I/AAAAAAAAAQw/LRxNWlDSZ6Y/s400/DSC04479.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<br />
you would think that would be enough, but you would be incorrect. my lovely daughter decided to wander off, cross the "do not enter" tape and go exploring through the abandoned school. it was so great. a month previous, they had held a pre-demo art installation. it's when a group of artists are handed a building, and are encouraged to create wonderfully arty spaces. we got a private viewing of what was left of these amazing classrooms and even the boys washroom (georgia's favourite)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
so we had a beautiful fallish, country weekend. it was sunny and crisp with lot's of alberta blue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
saturday was all about beautiful okotoks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the crack of "noon-ish" we hit the "<i><b>all through the house fall market</b></i>". they invited some of our favourite junkers and makers to set up in their courtyard and it all looked so great. we found some really cute things from pam "<i><b>the vintage with flair</b></i>" lady <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/160210714179879/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/events/160210714179879/</a></div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our co-junker, leslie scooped up the most darling slipper chair slipcovered in a pretty barkcloth, for her vanity, from bonnie and teresa "<i><b>a vintage affair"</b></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my favourite find was the suitcase table from the cool folks at "<b><i>rescued by design".</i></b> g spotted it for me, it is just the right thing for an end table in my lounge. the suitcase was used to contain an airplane respirator, it says Scott Demand Respirator, NY. so that's all good.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
g picked up a retro clothes hamper for $5.00! she's going to spray it pink, and use it for her recycling in her atomic kitchen.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the groovy gals<b style="font-style: italic;"> "at all through the house",</b> had their shop filled to the brim and it looked just great! i finally found the perfect mailbox. a nice touch was the<i> </i>beautiful fiddle music being played a couple of real cuties.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Allthroughthegreenhouse" target="_blank"> https://www.facebook.com/Allthroughthegreenhouse</a>.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after that is was time for some fancy schmancy fashion shopping in the old part of okotoks. <i><b>"on a lark"</b></i> is the sweetest little shop filled with antiques and killer fashion! i splurged on a linen coat. then across the street we go to <b><i> "ginger laurier"</i></b>. leslie picked up a pair of smexy camo jeans, that fit her like they were custom made!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1433261649"> </a></i></b><a href="http://www.gingerlaurier.com/">http://www.gingerlaurier.com/</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then it was time for dunch a <b><i>"heartland"</i></b>, the most wonderful eating spot, located in an antique church.</div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we finished dunch in time for a quick whirl around the most impressive<i> </i><b><i>"cozy cottage"</i></b>. i picked some van- gough chalk paint. g got a most heavenly candle, it looks and smells like a real cake! she also got a bullet bottle opener for her guy. oh, and i picked up some bubble bath, so that just shows what kind of wonderful variety miss laura budd has on offer at her shop. </div>

yeah, so, while i have having a lovely time putzing around the yard and getting the bunky ready for visitors on the weekend, i nearly had a heart attack! <br />
<br />
a bat, a little brown bat, hanging off the inside of the screen door. that poor little thing made me scream and run, eeeeks and meeeeps!<br />
<br />
once my heart rate got back down, and after a quick analytical discussion on fb, with g. it was decided i should check and see if it was sleeping, or in fact dead. and i must keep the dogs and tre away, just in case it had rabies. <br />
great. <br />
and g wanted me to send a photo. sure, it's easy to be brave when you're an hour away.<br />
<br />
<br />
so the wee thing was quit dead. my immediate strategy was too just lean a piece of tin against the door and walk away. the land of denial is a good place to be.<br />
<br />
until the local BATMAN comes over to deal with all of this, the bunky is closed!<br />

i can't decide which was my favourite score of the day. i really like the wee microscope, because it is green and its case is all dovetailed. but then again that beautifully hand painted earthenware casserole is actually signed. i think it is french. perfect for roasting french quails, as you do.</div>

<br />
today was a day of meeting a bunch of really cool fellow junkers of all types, some "new" locals, and some from cowtown, and even a couple of travellers from helena, montana.<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
a couple of customers from my the olden times, when i had my funky little antique shop (the painted antler). it was all by chance, which made it all the more country, for sure.<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
i got to hold a sweet baby boy, ryan. who was so good, letting mommy shop and he didn't cry at all. xxo<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
at the end of the day, 2 gorgeous girls came up the driveway. one, was dripping with the best turquoise & silver jewelry i've seen in a long time, and her daughter was rocking the coolest marilyn monroe t-shirt.<br />
<br />
as it turned out, the groovy mama was raised here, on my acreage, how cool is that? so we played dress up in the garage, trying on bridal veils and such, chatted. then i took them inside the main house for the tour. the daughter loved it all and took tons of photos, gave me a namaste and a bracelet off her wrist. and mama just took it all in.<br />
<br />
so back to the garage, the youngin' asked a cute guy to take our photo, and it was sweetness all around. so i gave her the beautiful long, pearl beaded veil. and i got the biggest hug from mama.<br />
<br />
all this was happening with some quality tunes coming through the woods, where live bands were rocking it all day at the "heroes in the sky" fundraiser. nice soundtrack.<br />
<br />
we're going to be ok.<br />
