I love to throw a party. I cannot wait to do my summer entertaining. I have a NEED to call up friends, plan the menu, set up the buffet table, find all the little extras that make my parties special from the average backyard potluck.

It is all in the preplanning. This is half the fun for me. To put on a party that is both effortless yet looks like it took forever with tons of tiny details. This is a challenge don't get me wrong however stressful, other times tricky, and often times irritating when things just wont fall into place but all this leads up to the great moment when the first guests arrive, the first drinks are poured and all I have to do is sit back relax and let the conversations go where they will. Nothing compares to a well thought out gathering.

It is this effortlessness that I would like to help my friends with. If like me you lean toward entertaining I think you'll be inspired by my sale. I will have tons of inspiration to help you along the way to your first summer gathering of this season.

Here are some pictures that I didn't have time to load before the sale. Thank you for all of you that came out this last RAINY weekend for the first sale of the season. I hope to amaze you all with another brilliant sale on June 11th, 12th, and 13th.

In this upcoming sale I will be featuring Summer Entertaining as my theme. Get ready for your summer events at this sale. We will be showcasing canvas market umbrellas, lush planters, white serving platters, creative beverage service, crisp vintage linens, chic rustic pieces and garden accessories. Stay tuned for more sneak peaks of projects that I am doing and a couple recipes of my favorite summer salads.

Great first day of SALE...

What the early birds didn't know was that i still have a treasure trove of great finds. I grabbed my sister-in-law a great bottle of wine and some of my favorite Jack Johnson tunes and revampped and restocked the barn. I am super excited to see all my friends and make some new ones tomorrow. Grab your friend or mom and come and see me.

Furniture is a set, plants watered (as if I had a choice with the rain today), and tags on. A little more finishing touches and I just might pull off this sale! Don't forget to come out and check the sale out this weekend

Making Progress on the Barn...

Wow in the 4 days that I have been cleaning, moving, almost falling off a 6ft foot ladder a couple times I have come to appreciate those hard core junkers like Queen of Tarte and Molly Mo's and what they must have put themselves and their husbands through to get their AMAZING spaces. Fortunately I have a wonderful father that is a genius at fabricating and super creative to boot! I hope only to come close to their amazing talent for my first sale. Hot bath and Epsom Salts here I come!
