Hen and Chicks Barn Market: 2016

Thought I would share these beautiful people, and links so you can find them now that you know what beautiful things they create and share! This first set of photos is from the vendors who were in or just outside the Chicken House:

Well, this is nice -- Tammy has all her information right there on her sign! We were so happy to welcome Sassy Ginger Boutique to our market!

Alysha brought her beautiful calligraphy on watercolor to the market. Her etsy shop is Modern Arria, and she will be setting up next at the Seymour Oktoberfest.

These adorable girls battled to keep the bees away from their sweet soaps, but they just kept smiling! You can find Milkhouse Soaps at Funky Junk at 101 S. Main Street in Brownstown and online here!

Sherry and Kevin, aka Cobwebs in the Corner, were also first-timers to our market. I've known Sherry since high school, and we definitely have the same love of old stuff -- especially costume jewelry!

Angie was with us in the spring, and brought her amazing collection of beautiful vintage goods (one of which I should have grabbed up when I had the chance -- I almost cried when I saw it waiting in the holding area!) You can find The Green Umbrella on Facebook.

Karen is a dear friend and talented artist. Her snowmen are just adorable, and

can be found at Stitches 'n Flakes. Don't they just make you happy?

Carri has a great way of taking dated furniture and giving it new life! I bet her brand new house is full of her beautiful restorations! Her business is Gray Green G.

Nita of DeBeau brought beautiful vintage and re-purposed goods to the market, plus, we got to meet her sweet granddaughter, Jane!

Our good friend (advisor and sounding board!), Janice, of Claire Marie -- her brick and mortar store, full of fashion and other treasures, is at 1301 N. Ewing Street in Seymour.

Another dear friend, Charlotte, brought along her sweet family to help out at the market. Charlotte owns The Copper Rooster at 212 W. 2nd Street with her husband, Joe; they are part of the re-vitalization of downtown Seymour -- such an asset to our town and we are so proud of them.

It was hot, but didn't Frank look cool in his bandanna? We hope he and Carolyn can slow down and enjoy the beautiful fall together, now that ice cream season is over. But next spring, be sure to visit their shop, Back Porch Ice Cream at 1101 W. Commerce Street in Brownstown (especially if you're a black cherry ice cream fan!)

These girls are the beauty and brains of The Gray Rabbit, home of unique, adorable children's clothing. I met them at The Pink Wagon Market last November, and we were so glad Megan and Susan (and Eliza!) joined us this fall!

Dana really knows how to make things beautiful, and we were so happy to have a chance to talk and laugh with her again! I have one of her Indiana Home signs in my dining room, and think of her when I see it! You can find information about The Old Schubox creations here.

And finally today, I asked these dear women came to the market -- Heather and Brenda are a part of my knitting circle of friends, and I am so proud of what they have accomplished in starting their indie hand-dyed yarn business. I learn something from them every time we are together -- about knitting, business, life --would you know how to muffle a noisy food truck generator? I do, now. You can shop for their yarn here.

More vendors tomorrow! Peace.
