Last week, I had the distinct pleasure of taking a little trip to Eastern Washington. No, not to see Kellan - he's done with Eastern Washington, thank God. I went on a little selling trip with my new Rep., Cindy. First I have to say that perhaps I'm a little biased, but we live in any amazing state. The landscape was awe inspiring. Just gorgeous. I digress. We ended our day in Moses Lake. I have to say, I was pretty tired, but the minute we walked into Silver Sage, I knew that this was a shop where I really wanted my jewelry to be sold. The shopkeeper, Lenae is adorable, but the real adorableness belongs to none other than Aspyn, her almost 1 year old daughter. What a darling little girl. I took a few pictures of Lenae's shop - gorgeous linens, lamps, pillows, candles . . . the list goes on. It was definitely my kind of shop. Lenae picked out a wonderful selection of Tippy Stockton Jewelry that will arrive just in time for her "Girls and Swirls" event on Friday evening, June 3. If you're in the area, or passing through on your way to Farm Chicks, I hope that you'll stop in and say hello. I'm giving you a little sneak peek too of some of the pieces that will be for sale.

SNEAK PEAK . . . shhhhh! :)

I'll be headed over to Farm Chicks this weekend as a shopper only. I'll take lots of photos, and catch up with you next week. Cheers . . .

It's almost time . . .

JUNE 5-6 Spokane Fairgrounds, Spokane - WA

Find Tippy Stockton @ Booth #128 - Bay 1

So a few months ago I let you all know that I was going to take the plunge and be a VENDOR at the Farm Chicks Show in Spokane. Well, time flies when you're having FUN, and this event is just two short weeks away. My absence from writing on my blog is telling . . . I've been spending nearly every waking hour in my Studio getting ready. If I have time, I will give you a sneak peak of what I'm doing, but for the uber-curious, you'll just have to come to Spokane to check it out. I will be posting the official map for the Spokane Fairgrounds as soon as I get it in my hot little hands. But to curb your enthusiasm for all of those who have been to the Show and kind of have a lay of the land, I'm in Booth #128 in Bay 1. You'll find me next door to "RETREAT", my good friends Deb and Bob. Yes, we will be under the "big Taj Ma Tent". I can't wait!

Oh, and speaking of RETREAT . . . well I have just committed to Deb and Bob's Show in Camano Island on June 26, and the Autumn Retreat on September 18. So for all of you who can't make it to Spokane, no worries!!! Deb and Bob have a lovely setting up in Camano Island. It's gorgeous. More to follow about this show.

So, duty calls . . . off to the Studio. Need to knock a few things off my list today.

Are you a Farm Chick???

A Farm Chick is a girl who sees the world through rose colored glasses. She laughs a lot. She's farmgirl meets Fifth Avenue, and with a little style, she'll change the world. Serena (the original Farm Chick)

Are you looking for a hoot of a good time? Well, follow me and many others to Spokane, WA the weekend of June 5 -6. This is one Vintage Show you'll not want to miss. From antique furniture, to Vintage linens and lace, to French themed pillows in burlap and cotton, to lovely jewelry from Tippy Stockton. You will find it all at the Spokane Fairgrounds. Spend a couple of junktabulous (thanks Timi for the new description of our crazy lives) days in Spokane. Meet some new junkin friends, sample a little bit of Americana, and load up on some amazing Vintage goods. Check back here often as I start to preview some of the great vendors who will be attending. Come on y'all! See you in Spokane.

What's in STORE for Spring . . .

Well, that's a loaded question!!! Why, you ask???

Because there's a lot going on!

The shop is full of wonderful new designs for Spring. Beautiful colors to inspire your Springtime wardrobe as well as wonderful gifts for Easter and Mother's Day. Take a look at the photo collage below and see for yourself.

I just picked up my copy of a brand new magazine called "Flea Market Style". OMGosh, if you haven't seen this magazine, you need to rush out and get yourself a copy. This magazine is chock full of amazing photographs, and it includes stories about a few people here in my backyard (well not literally, okay, close-by). You'll be introduced to Joe and Jermonne, affectionately known as the Barn House Boys!!! These two young men have such an eye for design and share their story and their home with you on the pages of this magazine. Then there's Cindy from Land of Tarte. Talent beyond compare!!! These folks all hail from the Portland, Oregon area. I've had the pleasure of meeting them at some of their past shows and I'm excited to be giving you some breaking news today . . . I will be sharing the concrete with them this coming June at a little show (little, who am I kidding?) in Spokane called The Farm Chicks Show.

TIPPY STOCKTON IS A VENDOR @ FARM CHICKS!!!

Excited, Giddy, Scared to Death!!! Just a few of the emotions that I'm feeling right now. Here's a map in case you want to know where the show is (this wonderful little map is printed in the Flea Market Style Magazine - there you will see the entire U S of A, not just little old Washington State.

So more news on the Show as we get closer. Until then, get thinking about Spring . . . we have had a taste here in the Pacific Northwest. So lovely!!!
