First of all, some business… Thanks to all who participated in the Lisa Leonard Giveaway! The winner of $40 to spend at Lisa Leonard’s shop is Melissa from Stamping with Melissa! Congratulations! Just send me an e-mail (marian@missmustardseed.com) and I’ll give you all of the details to claim your prize.
This is an exciting weekend for me. It is my very first barn sale as a vendor with Chartreuse and Company in Buckeystown, Maryland, which is near Frederick. I’ve only been to the barn twice. The first time was one month ago, as a shopper. The second time was last week and I was setting up my shared booth as a vendor. It’s amazing how things can fall into place, isn’t it? I have truly been so blessed in my business. Some day, I need to sit down and write a post about the journey and all of the people who took a chance on me. I am constantly amazed and a little befuddled by it.
Anyway, here are pictures of the booth I share with two delightful women who have perfect taste, Lynette and Christine.

Can't wait to hear more details.

I just wanted to say that thanks to you (and American Pickers) I took a good look through all the barns at my parents farm. I found some great "found objects" like tin buckets, old grain sacks and lots of rusty things. You're so inspiring!
I wanna go!!!!!! I love all your things and everything looks so beautiful!! Have a great time!!
best of luck! i won't be able to make it to this sale, but i know you will do great and fit right in!
Have a great sale, Marian! I see lots of wonderful things. If I lived closer I'd end up with a truck full of purchases.
I love the little white dresser and the slipcovered chairs. Wish I lived closer, too. Good luck, Marian!
Ahhh swoooon. I could find a little comfy corner to curl up in and stow away seriously. I love seeing all your little treasures in this rustic setting. The little silver clochet, an ottoman, and that tiered cake plate stand is to die for!!
Dude. Where do you find all of your junk? Southern Utah must be SERIOUSLY lacking in the cool junk department…..
love your guts

That is awesome, thank you!
I don't blame you for wanting that vanity… it's beautiful! And I just love that chest.
I would love to go to a sale like this!Everything is beautiful~
Love your site…. I was at Chartruese today, and I am going back on Sunday. You really need to go multiple days!!!
Oh, how I wish I were local and make it! I don't know how you sell some of that stuff, I just don't think I could peel my little fingers off of that metal crate thing. Good luck to you!
Everything looks wonderful…. I see quite a few things that i would love to call mine..
What is actually a barn sale? Does it mean that someone "rents" places in his/her building for the sellers and organises the informing about the happening?
What is the price of your shelf? Do you send stuff to Europe?
Oh my! What wonderful items! I love that chandelier!! And that cubby is to die for!!! I too love the vanity and it should look perfect in your half bath!
Good luck on your sale!
Hugs

If I weren't on the opposite end of the country, I'd be there in a heartbeat! I love seeing all your creations. Congratulations on so much success!

I loved the cubby hole to hang in the kitchen and use it to hold little treasures or tea cups!
The sign you painted is beautiful!!!
I really love everything.
I know EXACTLY which space you're in!! I love Chartreuse's Barn sales … but I doubt I'll make it to the one this month. Good luck, not that you need it with fabulous stuff like this.
The space looks amazing, you ladies are so talented. I am happy for you that your business is going so well. It's really no wonder….you're a fabulous lady! Keep up the great work. I'm taking notes. 🙂
It was pure genius to hang the oblong wardrobe mirrors from the angles in the ceiling. That looks amazing….well, the whole place does, too, of course.
Also, when you are painting your signs, where do you come up with the words that you put on them? I just love those signs….I spent a ridiculous amount of time yesterday combing your blog for pics of them. 😉
That barn display is divine! I love everything you pictured, especially that vanity. I hope it fits in your bath and is meant for you! Good luck. Wish I could make it.
Hugs,
Jami
Congrats on your new shop. It looks absolutely wonderful and with the use of mirrors the lighting is great! Wish I could run right over and shop!
I don't know how you sell some of your finds – you're a strong woman! I love the booth and congrats on your continued success!! Jen
Your photographs are beautiful, partly because all of your things are beautiful and beautifully arranged, but are you a professional photographer as well? My photos never come out looking near as nice!
Love your blog.
Gorgeous! Have wonderful, productive weekend!
That sink/vanity is gorgeous! Can't blame you for wanting to take it home with you.
LOVE everything and how it is displayed so well together! Wishing you a very successful sale!
I was lucky enough to make it to Wild Rose and Chartreuse this weekend. So lovely and inspiring!
BAHH Did that white dresser sell?!? I lovvvve that!! It would go perfect in my tiny hallway!
I am out of town for my moms wedding and putting TVs in our van! But I can be there next sale!!
