Summer Finds

So often in the game of life we say to ourselves, “Should have, could have, would have.” As in life, we do that on a daily basis here in the barn. So many countless projects, stylized designs and events have gone by unrecorded, for there never seems enough time in our daylight hours to think of and then execute everything that we would like to accomplish. For example, one of these days, we would love to send out images of what you will find here at our sales in the barn BEFORE the actual sale so if you see something that piques your interest, you can come see it in person. This time around, we were unbelievably lucky to have two talented photographers document the product and vignettes at the Summer Preview Party. We would like to share their work with you and give those of you who have not experienced a Life’s Patina Barn Sale yet, a feel for what you are in store for when you walk through the barn doors.  We think they captured it pretty well don’t you?

Summer Barn Sale

Summer Barn Sale

Summer Barn Sale

Since these are photographs from the Summer Barn Sale which has passed, much of the merchandise has found new homes in the hands of our wonderful customers. The Summer Sale was also our last large scale sale/show until we open again in September.  The barn will be chock full of new merchandise acquired from our hunting trips this summer and our makeovers that we find we have more time for during the slower summer months. We will be sure to post about our forays and our projects but until then, we are opening one more time…
