Barn chic, and a show in Louisille KY

BARN CHIC

The smell of fresh hay loaded in our barn is the nicest of Autumn scents. Freshly cut and baled, this should be enough to see the girls through a mild winter, we hope.

 The donk's mouths are watering

but they can't have this hay till until their meadow has turned brown.

 The chicks in the barn are very particular about their furnishings, and a 2 story apartment is a must.

SHABBY CHIC for CHICKS

Shabby Barn Chic is the favorite decorating style of the barn-folk

and they like plenty of cozy corners for egg laying,barn chicks like to hide their eggs.

The pantry must be replenished with corn, chicken scratch and animal crackers with regularity; barn folk have very large appetites. As a matter of fact, eating is their favorite pastime.... presentime and futuretime.

Barn- folk are very big on wall art.

 (not a real mouse in trap, the real mice live under the barrel)

 

  And sculpture.

 

Take it from a barn chick, Barn livin is the best!

Part 2

WELCOME TO LOUISVILLE, KY

Our art event in Louisville last weekend was an eye-opener...

And here is why...

The section of town where we set up our booth is Victorian heaven.

 The streets are lined with these fabulous restored homes. This area was once derelict and forlorn, with the properties going to ruin.

But not anymore. Blocks and blocks of homes have been beautifully restored to former glory days. Not exactly Barn Chic, is it?

  I looked upon this house for 3 days, as it was right in front of my booth.

You may have believed that Kentucky was just bluegrass, split rail fences, old log cabins, Thoroughbred horses and the Kentucky Derby..

But you probably haven't been to Louisville.

In addition to good weather and beautiful scenery,

I won a first place for art.... it came with a check for $875!

NICE!

Still, I am happy to be home on the farm. Tomorrow, a pair of Pea babies will be going to their new home..I will miss them.
Till next time, 
Fondly from the Hollow, Jeri
