Happy Friday, friends! I’m apparently still on my high from The Strawberry Patch Barn Sale–it really was that fun!–because I’m back to share some photos that the lovely Alissa Saylor captured of my booth. I’m so glad she was able to photograph my booth before the crowds showed up for Thursday night’s preview sale–these images serve as a great reminder of all the love + time I put into curating my first ever collection of vintage pieces for sale (not just for rent!). Just hours after Alissa snapped these lovely photos, a good portion of my finds were already in the hands of shoppers and headed to their new homes!This industrial kitchen island was by far my favorite piece in my booth. I rescued this chippy green industrial base from a pile, knowing it was destined for a bigger purpose. My husband and I reclaimed the barnwood you see on top from a gorgeous old barn that fell at Starlite Farm, which is home to The Strawberry Patch sale, last February. My handy hubby cut the planks to size to complete my vision for this piece. Word has it that this island will soon find its place in the limelight–its buyer says it will be the star of a kitchen shoot very soon!
All in all, that was the most rewarding part of the sale–meeting kindred spirits and collectors who made love connections with my finds and who were teeming with ideas on how to repurpose them or incorporate them into their home decor. I met so many amazing + creative shoppers. Well, I’m off to prep for a wedding and a baby shower this weekend, lovelies! I’ll be back soon to share an announcement about my involvement in the Fall 2013 barn sale at The Strawberry Patch! – Elizabeth
