Plan Ahead Events: The Farm Chicks Antique Show Spokane Valley Washington – June 7 & 8 2008

Have you heard about The Farm Chicks Antique Show, in Spokane Valley, Washington? If you haven’t mark your calendar for June 7 & 8 or make travel plans to attend. It is a "vintage indie" lovers dream.

I recently interviewed the lovely ladies behind this fabulous event.

What exactly are The
Farm Chicks?

The Farm Chicks are Teri Edwards & Serena
Thompson (pictured left).  Two long time friends who share a love of antiques and
junking.  We both love creating homes that reflect our personality, be it
old and rusty or new and shiny.  We started junking together and decided
to share our finds by having a barn sale six years ago.  We had such a
great response that we knew we were on to something and decided to make it a
regular event, inviting other vendors offering antique and hand crafted items
to join us. It’s hard to believe we’re getting ready for our 9^th
show!

We are excited to hear about the event for
this year. If you are new to "junking" and vintage hunting what can a
newbie expect to find there?

Originally we started as an “antiques only”
show, but have evolved and grown into something much broader and we think, more
fun J  There will be lots of non-antique (handmade) goodies along with the
many antique vendors.  We felt that if we enjoyed these handmade items,
why not include them!  We are inspired by the many talented and creative
women who are a part of the show and hope that our shoppers will be inspired
too.  As far as antiques, there will be something for everyone, from
rustic farm to Paris flare, from mid-century modern to primitives.  We
have vendors coming from all over the Pacific Northwest and a few as far away
as California, Montana, Nevada & Utah.
 
What makes The Farm Chicks
event different from your regular "flea market/antique" shows? 

One
of the things that we’re the most proud of is the quality of our vendors and
their creative displays.  As we all know, displays are so important.
It’s not surprising that so much effort is put into window displays at
retail shops.  They know it’s what brings shoppers in and sets the mood
for the store.  We feel the same way about our show.  Our vendors
spend a great amount of time creating vignettes that draw the shopper in and
set the perfect shopping mood.  We have amazing, creative and friendly
vendors!
