Flea-For-Y'All Christmas Barn Sale

Saturday morning dawned clear and chilly and with lots of anticipation, as I was up bright and early to head to the Flea-For-Y'All at Hickory Hollow Barn in Bridgewater, Virginia.

If you remember back in September, Granny, Hannah, and I went to the Spring Creek Barn Sale where I met two sisters who were vendors (one of my favorite booths!). They invited me to their dad's barn this weekend for a Christmas Open House hosted by their business Embellish Decorating, and I made plans to go.

Here's the scene that greeted me as I turned onto their property:  

A decorated antique Ford truck welcomed the first customers:

And as I turned in and crossed the cattle gate, I saw Hickory Hollow Barn in the distance...we're in the country, folks!

I parked and made my way to the barn, avoiding several cow patties as I walked! The sisters had done an excellent job of embellishing the old barn to make it Christmas-y and inviting:

Inside the barn...old ladders with lights and laces hanging from the rungs...very festive:

What's a Christmas Open House without refreshments? The cranberry orange bread was delicious:

A display of Scrabble tiles...I bet I could find letters that spell out Q-U-I-L-T-S!:

Lots of vintage dishes, linens, ladders, and old suitcases...and one antique quilt decorating the barn railings:

Embellish Decorating sure started their Christmas season off with a fun morning...and I brought home a couple of treasures for gifts.

Soon I headed back down the driveway to the rest of my stops for the day. I enjoyed my Saturday morning Hickory Hollow Barn excursion:
