Farm Chicks’ Antiques Show Review

Yay! (Maggie Bullock)

I made it to the very end of the Farm Chicks show on Sunday (benefit: at the end of a show, many of the vendors are willing to cut down their price a bit so they don’t have to pack the merchandise back up).

The show was HUGE, and yes, a little overwhelming, but in the best of ways. I know I missed plenty, but I left happy and creatively fulfilled. I love that so many vendors and shoppers have seen value in items that at one point would have been tossed aside.

Check out the slideshow and captions above for a quick tour of this year’s show. I had a great time and have many ideas for repurposing old junk. I came home with several new canning jars, enamelware, and some other fun things I couldn’t pass up!

Did you make it to the show? What were you unable to leave behind?
