A last minute decision to drive north to
Puyallup, Washington to The
Funky Junk Sister's Sale was well worth the drive. I got to see several fellow
bloggers and actually got lots of photos with them, I think I will have to start a blogger photo album with all my new friends.
Here are I am at The Funky Junk Sisters Booth, they are in the back ground I should have had them pose for me so I could of gotten a group shot. They did one awesome job putting this show together with some great
vendors. Thank you very much.
This old ford pickup sure caught my eye, I just never know what year they are, Roger and I had a 1950 Red Ford Pick Up when we were first married, we bought from a buddy for $50.00, then when we needed the money he bought it back from us and this kept going on for a few years until he ended up with it. Darn I wish we had it now.
It was good to see Deb with
Retreat Designs, her crowns are adorable and very creative. I hear she is going to be at Barn House in July for the Flea market.
The
Country Store had a really cool and fun booth, I had first met them up at Farm Chicks so it was neat to see them again.
Myself with Kris of the Country Store.
This was from the Rickety Picket booth, I loved all this
Americana and primitive things.
Patricia with
tippy stockton and
Erin. She had some very beautiful jewelry and very colorful items for sale.
Tippy Stockton's booth had incredible color, it was like a breath of fresh sunshine.
Tiffany of
Shabby Scraps with her daughter. It was so cool to meet Tiffany as I have been following her blog for awhile now.

This is Deb from
Garden Party it was the first time that I had met her, what a beautiful lady with so much talent.
Lulu and I, I did not notice
Lulu was barefoot, you go girl. I found a
necklace with the letter "F" on it for me.
We saw a lot of Americana at this show, which has always been a favorite of mine.
Erin and I with our treasures that we found. Thanks Kris from The Country Store for taking this photo of us.
The Farm Girls decided to stay closer to home this year, so we went to The Funky Junk Sisters Sale in Puyallup, Washington on May 14th and 15th. Like all adventures I take these girls on I have a itinerary of where we will stop along the way. Erin was unable to go with us, as she went to Hawaii for her daughter's wedding. She was very missed and thought about the whole time. We started early with stops in Chehallis to a quilt shop, then on to Galvin, of which Roger and I discovered a few years ago when that area of Centralia flooded so badly, we had taken a car load of donations to a fellow farm girls home to help with the flood victims. Following the country roads we came upon this great little antique gas station with vintage equipment. What a eye candy for us all. From there we went to Tumwater to a garden that I have visited for years, it is called the Fairie Herb Garden, a must garden to check out. I love to try to get there at least three times during the growing season. Some great plants came home with us all.

How many of you have heard stories on how trucks would haul ice to the homes to provide coldness for the ice box refrigerators?
These vintage gas pumps just make us feel in ah over the old days.
No adventure for the Farm Girls is complete with out a stop at a Quilt shop. This shop is in Chehallis, Washington, it is called Sisters Quilt Shop and is one of my favorites to visit when heading north towards Seattle. Here is Robin and I, getting our memory picture where we have been on our journey.
Arriving at the Funky Junk Sisters Sale, in the parking lot were four travel trailers owned by some Sisters On The Fly, all decorated to the "T" each with their own personality. These Farm Girls were doing a lot of dreaming of the same day. With Farm Girl Katy at the helm we could pull one of these to adventures. Ummmm, I see some Farm Girls dreaming.
This trailer was definitely fit for a princess, all that pink and aqua colors, Loved it!
Love this table setting, look close at that martini glass, that is one serious drinking glass.
How about a little fishing on this adventure for these Sisters On The Fly? Below you will see some of the views we got to indulge in. How much fun do you think these girls are having?
I would say these Sisters On The Fly know how to make their traveling homes really special for each other. Stay tuned for part two of this journey for the Farm Girls to The Funky Junk Sisters Sale.
