In our new home, we are fortunate enough to possess two fabulous barns, outbuildings, sheds,
whatever you'd like to call them.
And one day, I hope to have sales in those wonderful old buildings.
They'll need a lot of love and renovating before that can happen, but fortunately,
me and my sheds have someone to pattern ourselves after...
Someone to lead the way, a lady with a unique and visionary style all her own.
Someone who graciously allows of you to shop her shed and raid her treasure chest...
A chest full of...
handmade soft lines
home decor to adore
milled soaps
delicate eats
romantic farmhouse antiques
European styled redesigned furnishings
Fall and Winter stems and vines
and so much more.
Divine, no?
Well, all these riches can be yours at Joy's amazing sale in Joy's AMAZING shed.

Hi Anne. I'd be dizzy from my head spinning around to see it all.
Thanks for letting up peek at the fun.
ooxx's...Tracy :)
I am so hoping we can be at Joy's event...we're a little over an hour away and I am really hoping we don't have to go to the lake.
Your sheds are going to be magical...just wait and see!
XO,
Janie
I would so be in hog heaven to have all those buildings to work with...you're so young, and you have all those wonderful years to spend finding those junky treasures.
Happy Dance...

Hello Anne, time goes so quickly. Soon we will be reading about you barn/shed sale! Have a great week. hugs, sandi
I know your sheds will be eight kinds of awesome!
Oh... what wonderful pictures! What a fun sale that will be. Wish I could be there.
And you're right, your fabulous barns would be a GREAT place for a flea market event!
Debbie
I can't wait for you to have those sales!
When we first moved here my friend, Barbara, (who you WILL meet eventually!), had sales at our little red farmhouse that we also lived in. We sure had fun doing it! Don't you wish we could go to Illinois on the 23rd?!!!d
I'm sure that soon we will be reading about your banrs and your own shed sale. Your pictures are wonderful. I wish we could find these kind of stuff here in Brazil.
Hugs,

Don't you just love Joy and all her wonderfulness!
Okay, tell me about that barn with all of the stuff already in it. Was that sutff there? The wood, the wire...what else is there you haven't shown us? :)
If I lived in your area I would definitely go, it looks like there would be some wonderful things! I just know your dreams of having your own shed sales will come true!! ;)
~michelle~
Hi Anne! Yes, you'll have your barn bursting with lovely things one day! :) Your barns are wonderful.
You've shown so much pretty eye candy!!
Hope you've had a great weekend.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I'm SO jealous of all your land and all the out buildings. Can't wait for you to have a show there, because if you DO I will make a point of getting my butt to Texas. Loved all the pixs and I was looking at one of the architectural columns when it hit me. I bought one at Country Roads the other day, and forgot to take it home, again. I think its time for bed. Thanks for the great eye candy!
Take care, Sue
No, no, no! You need to bring your barns full of treasures HERE to Michigan, Anne! lol! :)
xoxo laurie
Oohhh, love your sheds, or barns. They will be beautiful one day, I'm sure. The property looks amazing, love your pics, as always Anne. Take care. Riki
Yes you WILL!! And I can't wait!
Joy's wares all look wonderful, and I'm spying some ready made goodies in your sheds too. I'll be waiting for your first sale!
xoxo,
D
Joy is such an inspiration and I'm sure her event is going to be more than fabulous!!! Your buildings are great and I have no doubt that one day you will have a shop the shed event at your place too.
Wow...looks like a wonderful sale!! And someday your sheds will be perfect!!
I am sure it will one day come true for you too Anne =))
Pity it wasn`t Dundee in Scotland....I`d be able to get there no problem!Stunning pics as always. x
Great post !! and so nice to sell your own stuff in your own barn......go for it girl !! happy new week....lots of love.......hugs from Ria...
You will look back fondly on this post when you have had your first wonderful barn sale! Belinda x
This would be a dream for me too! I wish I were closer to you and these ladies because I would certainly enjoy shopping your sheds!
I saw those fabulous photos on Joy's blog...it looks to be quite the event!
Your sheds will be perfect for an event like this. I'm sure it won't be too long before we are viewing the same at your place.
Jane
Do the math...
Junk + Barns = $$$
Debbie
I will fly to Texas when you do! You have some great buildings to work with...dream big my friend! Beautiful pics. I'm crazy for the chippy drawer with burlap and vintage silverware. It is the simple things...an accidental collection that make me smile.
may I just say ... I'm already planning to be the first in line to shop your shed(s) ... everyone else can fall in behind me ... te he
heck I'll even come early and HELP...
I'll stash some money from my sales and hitch my wagon to my star .. er car!!!
thanks for the SHOUT OUT!!!
I owe ya one
Oh so jealous! Wish I lived closer!! Have a great week!
I would love to shop those sheds! Even yours looks interesting! Hope the house decorating is going well!
Theresa
Why didn't I know of any of these girls back in the day when I lived in Illinois??!! Bummer:(
I had the pleasure of meeting Joy last year at a bloggers meet up. She's such a sweetie, and obviously very talented. Awesome pics, and I know your barns/sheds will be every bit as lovely as Joy's one day!
Knowing you it won't be long at all before those barns of yours are filled to the brim with the most fantastic finds. You are going to have sooooooo much fun!
I think you have found the exact place to nest and you are going to have so much fun planning the future of your barns. I can't wait to see what lays ahead for you, Char
I'm sure I could live in any one of those photos!!!1 It looks like an amazing place and a sale I am very sorry to miss. Thanks for the sneak preview.
Have fun!

Wish I could be there! Looking forward to seeing the transformation of your outbuildings - I know it'll be gorgeous!

Such inspiration and you will have sales in your shed one day!!
It's just a dream away! I'm sure you will have a fabulous sale some day soon!! XO Glad & Celia/Junebug Designs
Great things. I'm kind of glad I don't live near there. I wouldn't know what to pick first.
new to your blog and loving it!

your newest follower
Your property sounds perfect for barn and shed sales. If I lived closer I would be there in a heartbeat.
You should totally have a barn/shed sale!! I think it's written in the stars for you!! Oh yeah, planning on going to Joy's shop the shed.. can't wait!!
:)
Lara
LOVE JOY and crew,
and LOVE you for
always spotlighting
your friends in your
very kind and generous
manner : ) ! I have
a few Joy originals
that I picked up at
the Nada Farm sale
in June ~ You are
right, she is so talented!
xx Suzanne
PS: You'll see a
few of her things in
my next post, which was
partly inspired by
your little note to
me over the weekend....
Anne...you have a whole new world right in your own backyard!
How exciting!!!
This time of year is just perfect for a barn sale, perhaps next year at your place? You do have the perfect place for it! ~Lili
I love everything Joy does! Wish I could go!
Your barn/sheds have so many possibilities!
They're gorgeous!
You totally will Anne! You have to! I just wish I lived closer to drive over & buy you out :) And yes...Joy's barn does look heavenly!!! Especially those little cookies...oh I am so pregnant...all I saw were the cookies :)
EYE CANDY!!! Including your outbuildings!! I love that second one with the red cinder block! You are soooo lucky!!
keep dreaming my friend......dreams are where it all begins!!

Polly
Ah...yes...someday you will...and it will be spectacular!
Happy Dreaming!

Looks like you already got some great stuff lingering in those 'ol barns of yours! Exciting.
Thanks for sharing these lovely ladies' blogs - I'm gonna go check them out right now.
I must say, you are my favorite blog lately. So much fun watching your gorgeous new farmhouse transform and your style is so inspiring.
You rock lady!
-Sara.
~**~Wishing I could be there..LOVELY ladies too!! :)Rachel~*~*
I love your BIG dreams. You go girl! Maybe one day I can come and visit your beautiful barn. I know it will be amazing!
Hi Anne,
Can't wait until we see your Barn sales, dear friend.
May all your dreams come true.
Happy Tuesday
Hugs
Carolyn
Dear Anne, I truly believe that if you put the call out you would have many, many volunteers from your blogging friends who would appear at your house with hammers, nails, paint and brushes and cleaning tools to help you get started!
When should we plan to arrive? ;-)
Hugs,
Diane
I have a barn...just not the time right now. We'll see if ever. One of the ideas on the way back burner. It will be fun to watch yours come together!
Well if this is your inspiration than your are going to be A Oke between you and your barns. I am starting to save up now to be able to visit your barnsales one day.
That's right girl! If you can dream it, you can do it!!!
wonderful pics of all. thanks
blessings
barbara jean
Hi Anne!
Love Joy! She has such a great eye and is a sweetheart.
You will have sooo much fun fixing up those barns! So happy for you, that house is just perfect.
Blessings
Rebecca
I have no doubt it'll happen very soon!

Goodness, I am a little late to the game this MacTop is running like a dinosaur this evening - actually it's not my baby, it's something to do with my internet connection...
What a tribute you have made to my Momma... if only you could have seen her brick and mortar store. It was OUT OF THIS WORLD, so much so that people didn't appreciate it.
She was/is ahead of her time...
Alas, I don't miss the store days as I love to hang out with her every chance I get... and we are going to have A RIOT at Shop the Shed. I do hope we get to meet TONS of bloggers...
Maybe someday I will get brave and have my own sale.. though I think I would just like to have some big ole', hilarious, blogger bash, champagne, wear your best Breakfast at Tiffany's outfit, dinner party sleep over... that sounds a bit more my style. We could watch home movies of Paris or recount tales of heart palpitations under the Eiffel Tower.
HA!
Any takers???
Hope to meet you someday Anne!
oh yeah, I can totally see you doing this...goregous photos, and what a wonderful idea~~ wish I lived closer...booo...
