'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?

TURN THE PAGE

 




 
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 
 
THE FIRST SALE
AT THE BARN
WILL BE
 
The Last Weekend
of
September
 
FRIDAY 9/25/15
SATURDAY 9/26/15
 
 


Notices will be on Facebook and blog
Emails will be sent out as well
when the Farm Sale schedule
is made for the upcoming
Fall and Winter Season

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!
