The week-end was wonderful and fun at the Farmhouse, as usual. All the details on that tomorrow. And, a sneak peek at what's coming in this week-end. David is working on some awesome stuff now.
Great news!!! We have an event scheduled at the fabulous McConnell House! It is going to be an amazing theme design for two very special people. The design will be centered around beautiful flowers and vintage props. I'll fill you in on the details later. As for now, I'm looking for vintage metal toy pick-up trucks - you know the Tonka kind - probably about 15-18" long. Anybody out there have any?

While you are waiting for the crazy, screaming, running around like a chicken with our heads cut off review of what happened, what came in and what went out at City Farmhouse this week-end, take a look at amazing Nashville photographer, Ariel's eye for capturing the open house at the McConnell House (that's a serious run on sentence). I loved doing the flowers, which included, of course, vintage props for this event. I'm working on something for the McConnell House now. You'll see it this week-end. Tomorrow - week-end antique review at City Farmhouse. Follow this blog so you won't miss it.

Since the McConnell House was the Williamson County Jail in its former life, I thought it appropriate to do a table scape with an old jail theme. This was probably the most talked about design of the four tablescaps. I even made a boutonniere using 3 Camel cigarettes, a rose bud and an old skeleton key that looked like a jail key for Jason McConnell, the owner. David made a tiny banner that I attached to the bout. that said "Get Married in Jail". I can't believe we didn't take a photo of him wearing this. A professional photographer took lots of photos of all of the designs so maybe she got one. I'll post all of her better quality photos when they are ready.
In keeping with the jail theme I used some vintage window guards from our shop, City Farmhouse, that looked like fancy jail bars and designed flowers around them. For the centerpiece I made old bean cans out of rusty pipe and labeled them BEANS using a stamp set. Then real beans were strewn around. For the outer part of the table the bars were decorated with old tin cups and small tin lunch pails. All were filled with flowers and foliage of course. The best and most fun part of the table was the photo of a very ugly man, (look at the photos and you'll see what I mean), along with a bridal bouquet with two very cool jail keys attached and - I took letters from a scrabble game and spelled out - "Dear Maw I got married in jail". Everyone loved this. Hope you enjoy the photos. More will come. This was a big event and a very exciting open house for Jason. That building is amazing and architecturally stunning!
