Vintage Fall Market at Snow Creek Farm

This is the weekend that I anxiously await for all year long.  The Fall Market at Snow Creek Farm!  Autumn is my favorite time of the year, and this is the unofficial start of the season for me.
 
Donna Mcleod is the power force behind these phenomenal shows.  Using her family's home and farm as the backdrop, she temporarily transforms the rooms and grounds into a festive vintage and antique marketplace with her signature style and grace.  Her ability to stage and adorn every inch with eye-catching displays instantly brings on the ooohs and ahhhs as you walk through the door. 
 
You will usually see her around the foyer greeting and speaking with her customers, and then you'll notice her beautiful family graciously helping throughout.  There is not a time that I have been there that it was not packed with eager customers and I have never seen anyone leave empty-handed.  There is so much to look at and as I learned myself today, if you are not quick on the draw - you will lose something quickly.  However, I was able to make several other purchases and I will be back before the weekend is over!
 
There are so many other things to keep you entertained while there. Watching the wide array of chickens and the gorgeous peacocks out by the barn is a favorite and never gets old.  Plus, she always has a table full of yummy treats!
 
So, for those that are not as lucky as I am to be just a few miles down the road from this fabulous place, I share with you some pictures that I took today.  For those that are near, you have two more days!


Beyond these hedges, a spectacular world awaits!

 
























 
You can visit Snow Creek Farm this Saturday and Sunday from 10-4 each day located at:

'Til next time!

Sometimes, You Just Need to Look Past the Ugly....

Many, many times I will buy the most ugliest piece at auction - then be amused by the looks I get as I proudly walk out with my "prize...
