I'm baaaaccck...

What a weekend it has been!

Last week I mentioned I was off on a roadtrip to Ohio...

And while I was there I spent a little time at an incredible show you that may have heard of...

I can't wait to download all my pics and get a post up about my trip!

But until then, I just wanted to spread the love a little and let you know about a FABULOUS giveaway!

You could win a $50 coupon to use in my sweet friend Andrea's shop! The giveaway is being hosted by Heather over at Post Road Vintage...pop over and get your name in! (Oh, and there is a great little Q&A interview with Andrea, too!)

Happy Monday, girls! I will be back tomorrow with details from my trip!

country living fair...I'm off!

Au revoir!

I am off to the Country Living Fair in Ohio today!

And thanks to all the fabulous suggestions yesterday, I have lots of places to stop along the way! I am super excited about visiting the flea in Springfield, OH and the Pottery Barn Outlet, too. I have a feeling I am going to pack the car before I even get to the CL show! Good thing I remembered to pack a few boxes, packing paper and some tape. A girl should always travel prepared, you know!

I will be back on Monday with lots of photos, but until then...you can find me on Twitter yaking on about my adventures, my finds and whatever random thoughts pop into my head while I am on the road...again!

Want to follow along?? You can find me on Twitter under the name {urbanfarmgirlco}.

 Ahhhh....have I ever told you how much I love a good roadtrip?? Yeah...yeah...I know I have many, many times!  

Oh, and the photo above has absolutly nothing to do with my trip...I just found that stack of books at a sale over the weekend, they may soon find their way to my Etsy shop! Aren't they pretty?? {wink...wink...}

Did I mention there is something FUN in it for you, too?? I am going to host a giveaway when I get back! What kind of girl would I be if I went to all these fabulous places and didn't bring a souvenir back for my friends?! I promise I'll make it a good one!

Have a great week...and weekend, too!

{On a sidenote: Blogger isn't letting me leave comments on your blogs...again. Anyone know what is up with this? Ugh. Wordpress is looking better and better all the time. Grrrr...}



roadtrip time...suggestions needed!



 

I can't believe how absent I have been from blogging this summer! I have just been so overwhelmed with painting furniture and orders...I totally lost my mojo for a while. But, now that my show season is winding down...I feel it coming back again!

I am leaving for a little trip on Wednesday, and I can't wait. A little R&R before selling at my last show of 2011...and I am READY! I am hoping it will be me in the mood for projects I have to start around the house and making things pretty for fall!

I am heading here...

to the Country Living Fair in Columbus, Ohio.

I am super excited to take in all the beautiful displays and shop my little heart out. Oh, and I am also VERY excited to meet up with this cutie blogger while I am there, too! Stacey is just so sweet and I just know we are going to love spending a little time together while we are away! So funny that we only live about an hour away from each other...but we are meeting up 3 states away from where we live! Isn't the blog world fantastic that way??

Ok, back on track here regarding the trip. I am leaving Wednesday so I can hit every little antique shop and junking spot along the way! I know I showed this to you in a post before...but thought I would put it out there one more time...just in case any of you had a new ideas of where I could stop along the way.

Here is what I need from you, my fabulous readers...where should I stop to shop along the way?? We will be spending our first night in Indianapolis...then on to Columbus on Thursday. The Country Living Show starts Friday, so I will have some time to spend checking things out.

In know of a few bloggers that have shops along my route...but I don't want to miss anything so PLEASE share with me if you know of a shop that I just can't miss! There may even be a little sometin' somethin' in it for you when I get back!

{wink...wink...}

Happy Monday girls, it is sooo good to be back!

I missed you!

we have a winner!

We have a winner for my Cabbages & Roses giveaway!

My apologies, I am a day late on announcing the winner. We were laying in bed the other night when there was a huge explosion in our backyard. Apparently the transformer on our electric pole blew. Wow! Now that will wake a person up, it was like a cannon going off in our backyward! We have been without power until some time early this morning. I am just sooo glad it is back, selfishly, because it means I can use my blow dryer again. {smile...}

Anyway, on to the winner...

2 yards of the Cabbages & Roses fabric will find a new home with...
