Vintage Spring Party
WOW! We had a wonderful time at our Vintage Spring Party here on the prairie! The school house never looked so festive. We had so much fun planning the party and so much fun at the party! We loved meeting all the delightful ladies who attended. And the “early birds chicks” came in plenty of time, to register for the FREE Room Re-Design giveaway! Congratulations to our winner Cheryl! We are so excited to “shop” her house and get started! Back to the party…we had props in the attic for our gals to dress up in and snap photos on their phone. I have seen a few of these pictures floating around on Facebook but none have yet shown up on The Prairie Chick page. Do you hear that girls…none have yet been posted to The Prairie Chick page!...
Read MoreA Sneak Peek at the Market
Happy Spring everyone! Here is a little peek at all the beautiful “vintage” goodness going on at The Prairie Chick Market on May 2, 3, & 4! Remember this is just a peek. At the time I snapped these photos the attic was not set up yet, and if any of you have been in the attic you know how big it is! So keep in mind that there are more antiques, collectibles, primitives, jewelry, purses, scarves, pillows, dish towels, silver, dishes, crocks, – oh and clocks! Huge awesome clocks made from wooden spools and metal. They are awesome! Enjoy! Okay, okay…so even though we weren’t finished staging the fireplace/clock wall, I had to add this picture for you. I so badly want to keep the one on the mantel, but I will...
Read MoreThe Prairie Chick Market and Vintage Spring Party
SPRING is HERE! Well…not really. Because in our neck of the woods it has recently rained, sleeted, snowed, frozen, and generally been pretty yucky! But spring has to come sometime, so by the time The Spring Prairie Chick Market rolls around this May 2, 3, & 4, I am certain that we will have green grass, budding trees, and bright spring flowers dotting the landscape. Positive thinking everybody! In fact I am so positive that spring is coming that we are throwing a VINTAGE SPRING PARTY on Friday evening of the Prairie Chick Market from 6 to 8 p.m. There will be refreshments, pink lemonade, and plenty of “vintage” party ideas! AND…all attendees will have a chance to win a FREE Room Re-Design by the Prairie Chick herself (that’s me)!...

Read MoreIt’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
Normally we only do the Prairie Chick Market four times a year but… I was feeling in the holiday mood and decided to open the shop one more time before Christmas! All of our beautiful vintage things are just sitting here and I want to share them with all of you!! I spent one day, rearranging and cleaning and that was it. I had to invite you all back. Because I miss you all so much. And because everything looked so cute. And because I want to light the fire, put up my new vintage, silver-tinsel tree, play Christmas music, and sip hot chocolate! (And eat Christmas cookies!!) So come on out on Friday, December 14th from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, December 15th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. I would love to see you! The address of the little school house where we...
Read MoreFall 2012 Prairie Chick Market Sneak Peek
Hello friends! So sorry I have been MIA this fall. All of August/September I was getting ready for the fantastic “Junk Bonanza” in Shakopee, MN. Ever since I got back I have been shopping, picking, painting, arranging, decorating, and planning for our First Anniversary Prairie Chick Market, to be held on November 1, 2, & 3rd! It’s hard to believe that a year ago my friend Karla and I started cleaning out the little school house and painting furniture for our first sale. We even talked our significant others into doing a little carpentry work for us. Karla’s honey, Bob, built new steps into the attic for us and my sweetheart, Farm Boy, worked on sprucing up the old kitchen. And believe me both those things needed doing! A lot more needs...
