Fall Sale 2017

Fabulous Farm Sales “Romantic Country” by Erin Campbell rides again!

Erin is cleaning out her warehouse of stashed goodies to make room for some new or old collections~~which is good news if you have a collection of your own.

'FALL ON THE FARM'

SEPTEMBER EVENT AT THE FARM

 

  Just in case you haven't heard, Erin Campbell's

  Fabulous Farm Sales: "Romantic Country" vintage shop

 has returned to the historic Campbell farmstead on Old Dixie Highway SW!

Group photo of pioneer families in the early days of Indian River County

Photo postcards such as these were sent to Midwesterners,

enticing them to buy land parcels in "Indian River Farms"

 

 

 

 

 

 

A fascinating read, if you are interested

in first person recollections by family members 

of these brave families

I love this part about the weather report by the train's engineer!

Another first home built not far from the Campbell's farmstead

 

The Campbell's home was built by the Helseth family - 

originally a pineapple plantation - 

as were many of the farms near the river.

 

 

 

Maybe in Erin's kitchen?

The Fab Farm shop has been through
Lots of Changes
 since it's early beginnings
A kind of
evolution... 

 
 

-- from the farm porch --

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                           

 

 

 

 

 

--and driveway-slash-garage--

 

 

 

 

 

 

--   to the little barn for pop up sales --

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally

             a big jump up to it's own brick-and-mortar shop!

 

                                                                 

                          
        

                   

                                                              

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But now,

 

 "the time has come,

the Walrus said,

to talk of many things:

of shoes ~ and ships ~

and sealing wax ~,

of Cabbages and Kings..

...and why the sea is boiling hot ~

and whether pigs have wings." 

 

 

And, it's time

to come full circle...

...and return to The Farm where FFS was born.

 

  The shop was wonderful

 but quite constraining

 as far as planning any special events...

 

Just not enough

 

wide           open         space...

 

 

 

 

So.. here's to the next chapter of

 Fabulous Farm Sales

"Romantic Country"

 because

change is good!  

 

There are still plenty of stories to tell in this book and

this is just the end of a chapter.

 

 

 

The shop on Miracle Mile will be closing

the end of this month

as the summer sale winds down

Shut the Barn Door!

Barn doors are not just for barns anymore. 

                AnnFreemanImages/etsy/viatumblr

 

 And they are not just for protecting your treasures or loved ones.

 

There are parties in barns

 



 

or even the wedding

 



Barn doors come in all sizes and colors if you hunt around for them

 

 



they can be used for the main front entry doors

 

 



or inside the house like a pocket door

 

 



or just for looks in your rustic kitchen

 

 

 





 

they can be used on BOTH sides of the room

 

 

 

 



or to showcase the entrance to the main room

 

 

 



pantry door

 

 

 



or pool house/garden room/studio doors

 

 

 

 

 

 



these are the weathered barn doors in the shop

 

 

 



 

each one a little different

 

 

 



 

but weathered the same soft grey

 

 



 

that color and patina that comes only with the passing of time

 

 



 

and just can't be duplicated

 

 



 

that beautiful soft worn dove grey

 

 



a beautiful back drop in front the old grey farm table in the back of the store

 

 

 

 



 

HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND!
