This it the fourth year that my mom and I have road tripped up to Spokane, Washington for the Farm Chicks show. This year it was sunny. I did not get a speeding ticket. We did not get lost. It was a good weekend.
As I said the sun was out and the line was long.
One of the fun things about this show is that people are here not just for an antique show, but for an event. They wear blogger badges and cowboy/vintage attire. A trio of women in front of us made some great crowns to wear. There is just an undercurrent of excitement and fun.

My mom and I at the show. This is the milk truck that greeted you as you entered..it was a great place for a photo!

One of the things that is so fun about this show, besides the quality of the vendors, it the great props and whimsical eye candy.
Clouds float above the milk truck.
And there was even a special license plate.
This awesome cake was mind boggling. It was created for a soon to open bakery called Cake, that is associated with my all time favorite place to eat in Spokane called Chaps.
It even had a huge industrial beater on top and flowers. Frosting piped around the center added great detail. It was truly a sight to behold...clever, clever!
There was a ton of cool stuff at the show. The bar was set high with what vendors brought to sell. Here are some of my favorites.
Loved the oversize letters and the giant ice cream cone cut-out.
I was in love with this piece of advertising. They had filled the interior of it with straw and vintage books - only in red.
I thought this old coffee grinder was amazing (with a matching amazing price tag). It was about three foot tall and just cool. I seem to really be drawn to the unusual and unpractical.
Most of the display in this booth was made from cardboard. Simple cardboard. Was extremely clever and unusual and easy to transport. (Hutch studio)

My cart was full of goodies and we are ready to head back to the hotel. We hit the show both days.
A truly fun weekend. My next post will be Farm Chicks, The Finds.
Remember the red, white and blue Fourth of July parade is headed to Etsy tonight at 5 p.m. pacific time.
