Remember how awestruck I was last year at the discovery of antique show Farm Chicks? Well this year I had the privilege of experiencing the shab chic-ness for myself. Standing in as my second consecutive trip to Spokane (at least I was able to fly over this time) I spent the weekend treasure hunting at the Spokane Fairgrounds.
Check out the long line of ladies (mostly) waiting to get in. INSANE! .... (sidenote how cool do the clouds look in these pics?)
A milk truck was set up at the entrance to greet all shoppers, and this was a wedding cake topper collection for sale that was just too cute not to capture.
The display and merchandising at each booth was just AHH-ma-zing!
The main thing I picked up from the show were books. Etiquette, sewing, and decorating books galore! I really fell for some old ice boxes that were surprisingly reasonably priced. Unfortunately we have ZERO room for any other furniture. It will have to wait until next year.
Nick's brother Eric scored by far the best find all weekend. He found a stack of old WANTED posters, one of which named a Byrd from Oklahoma (whether this is indeed an actual family member is yet to be determined).

So fun! One of my friends that I cheered with at Eastern's mom is one of the two original Farm Chick ladies. I'm assuming there are still just two of them and that they are the same people that you are referring to. Her daughter is just as artsy and talented as her mom!
