Wow, what a great weekend we had!  The weather was perfect (if a little chilly on Saturday when the wind blew . . .), the offerings we sooo great, and everyone had such a good time.

In case you couldn’t make (or in case you want to relive it a little), here’s some pictures of what went on:

Here’s Hunt & Gather’s eclectic take on vintage.

Asia meets Europe, right here in Buckeystown.

The Green Cottage filled the yard with bright color and stunning original artwork.

Love this vignette of vintage bottles.

Bella Villa was here with bells on!  Mixed with Favorite German Antiques, the space was stunning.

So many great finds – original and vintage – that everyone found that perfect something.

Yup, I scored that fabulous french settee!  I promise that I waited till Sunday evening – I always give you dibs on the finds.

Carly Simonds of Peanut & Scoot enjoying Market Days!

Gatehouse Designs brought some stunning finds.  This matching pair of twin headboards were that perfect shade of almost green, almost blue, very french gray.

And so many beautiful things . . .

These darling bunnies are real, and were so tame that Monica’s daughter sat with them and pet them through the day.  Adorable!

 

Robin, of The Robin’s Nest, was loving the opportunity to shop right here on the grounds!

And Bella Villa was rocking the surroundings.  I just love the way Rosanna intermingled her European antiques with the natural surroundings.

I loved this vessel nested into the mulberry tree.  If it weren’t for my passion for the French settee, this wonderful vignette would have stayed right where it was.

The bracelets are even prettier nestled into these shells.

The paint inside this European antique desk is original.  (And those little brown books are now mine!)

Emma Jean’s General Store was here, and look how great this earthy table looks against the white-painted stone of our bank barn.

Jackie and Sheree of Seasons brought a yummy mix of textures, and put them together so well.

And here they are musing over their space.

Judy and Meghan of HarMonia brought organic lavender, a huge hit!

Plus they brought some finds from their recent trip to Italy.

Oh, yeah, our grounds never looked so good!

And we’re doing it all again in September!  So much fun!!!

Here’s another sneak peak at some more of the kind of great stuff you’ll find this weekend here at Chartreuse’s first-ever Market Days.

I just love what Carly Simonds of Peanut & Scoot, space # 5, does with paper and cloth:

Michelle Lalumia of Time Was, space # 14, brings that quirky side of collecting to Market Days:

Hillary Tattersall’s gang at Chick’s Picks, space # 6, has been busy, too.  Chick’s Picks is a carefully selected group of artisans (mostly women) who create things of both artistic and functional value.  Jewelry, home accessories, personal accessories, each item is handmade and a work of art:

Beverley Bigham, space # 20, has been bringing us her great finds for a while, now she’s bringing them directly to you:

Denise Nolan of Repurposed & Refined, space #12, has some great furnishings.  I just love how she puts it all together.  I live for creating beautiful, comfortable spaces, and Denise seems to have the knack, doesn’t she?  Here’s a sampling:

Sarah Jean Heber of Hunt & Gather, space #13, is no stranger to color.  I just love her fearless use of it and her quirky sense of style:

All this and Chartreuse & co, too!!  That’s right, our barns will be filled, too.  We’ll have wood-fired, gourmet pizza on-site, plus homemade donuts and coffee to start your day.

See you this weekend!

We’re getting ready for our first-ever Market Days.  Not only will our barns be open and full, but we’ve selected 20 great dealers to join us for this Saturday/Sunday only event.  Sorting through the nearly 50 applicants we received was tough, and rest assured that the 20 that we selected are exactly what you’re looking for.

Here’s just a sampling of what’s in store:

Bella Villa

Rosanna Smith is bringing her great look (yup, that’s her adorable shop in Aldie, Virginia) to us.

Check out a sampling of her signature look:

Chick’s Picks by Hillary

Here’s a few of Hillary’s creative team of artisans checking out the site for Market Days.  They took a look at our Corn Crib and instantly saw chandeliers hanging from the rafters, curtains, the whole nine yards – they even got out their note pads and started drawing!!  I LOVE these girls!

Unfortunately the concept was nixed by the ‘logistics team’ (a.k.a. my husband, Chip), and we won’t get to see their full vision . . . (this time).

Here’s an idea of some of their creations.

Don’t you think that both the eggs and the necklaces are prettier together?  These girls know aesthetics.

I really think I need this tablecloth.

Emma Jean’s General Store

Chuck Johnson of Emma Jean’s General Store knows great industrial pieces.

Hope you enjoyed this early teaser.  More to come.

I was in the barn over the weekend, snapping pictures and oohing and ahhing at all the great stuff.

Here are some highlights of what I saw:

Over 5′ long, this spectacular console/buffet is handcrafted from Library of Congress card catalogs (complete with the packing box addressed to the Library of Congress).  It fits wine bottles perfectly.  I’m thinking silverware would be great too:  one drawer for forks, one for knives, one for spoons, etc.  And everything can be labeled so nicely.  Love it!

These classic, channel-back chairs are stunners in natural cotton and burlap, with nail-head trim.  They’re comfy, too.

You know how I’ve been obsessing lately about my laundry room (I think I’ve got a working design ready, by the way).  I fell instantly in love with these clever laundry bags – they’re adorable empty or full!  Check out the playful way the buckets are hung.  What a great way to store all those stray supplies.  You could even stencil each one to further organize the contents.

I’m going to be taking more pictures Tuesday.  I’ll post them here for you to see.

Thanks for reading!

Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately. Taxes and other depressing paper-work have kept me busy. But in the mean time, so many great things are happening in the barn. Here’s a little peak at one of the great new pieces that you’ll be seeing more of soon.

Love the nail-head trim, and the burlap back.

Stunning, huh?

And then there’s the hand-crafted sideboard created from Library of Congress card catalogs, an unprecedented selection of chairs (yes, even for us!) in every style from formal french to Hollywood glam to mid-century cool.

Click on each image to enlarge it.





Okay, I’ll stop now, because I know you’re just dying to see more pictures (which I have yet to take!) .  More soon . . .

Thanks for reading,

Despite the snowy weather and chilly temps, the barn was full today, just spilling over in creativity.   I just dropped in to do a few quick things and was so inspired that I had to run back to the house for my camera.  Here’s the result, so you can feel like you’ve been there, too!

Just click on any of these gallery pictures to enlarge.

Be sure to let me know what you think!

Inspiration!

Wow, has it been busy in the barn lately!  I’ve been strolling through seeing changes literally every day since we closed after our last sale.   Here’s a few images of just a teaser of what’s happening:

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Madison and Mabel’s barnwood wall, The Robin’s Nest’s floating floor, Tableaux and Bountiful Harvest’s jawdropping chandelier.  I’m in awe of what’s being created!

Stay tuned for images of 3 NEW DEALERS: Rubbish, The Cottage, and Sally, Rara & Ry.  And huge changes from & Coco, Molly Susan Strong, and Wild Rose Decor.  Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading,

Virginia

Here’s what’s in the barn right now.  There’s more to come as everyone transforms their spaces into shops within a shop!  So cool.  I’ll post more soon.  Enjoy.
