Romantic Country Article about La Maison Rustique

We were so excited to see a wonderful article in the new Romantic Country about the La Maison Rustique.

As we grow, it is wonderful to get the word out and meet new dynamic women who share similar interests.

Here's a snapshot of the article.  Pick up the magazine and check it out.  We're on page 19.

Here's an excerpt:
"La Maison Rustique is the kind of shop you might expect to find on a busy street in a major city. Instead, the business opens one weekend a month in a renovated barn in Temecula. With vintage chandeliers, architectural salvage, chippy tables, refinished armoires, and lots of French antiques for sale, it's like no other barn in wine country!"

Also, don't miss another great article in the same issue "A Room of her Own".  It features our dear friend Heather Bullard.  She shares some great secrets including making your own inspiration board.  The pictures of her office are inspirational.

Time to get back to work, we have lots of new items we're working on for the next sale.  See you soon!

Shopping and Creativity at the Barn

The sky cleared and we had a beautiful day at the Barn Sale. 

We had a special event today, a bottlecap necklace class!  Seven adventurous people used their creativity and completed a ready to wear unique necklace.  I know your friends and family will be amazed and ask "when are you making me one?"

This class was put on by JoleeJane of Art Takes A Village, a non-profit organization working to bring Art Therapy to women in drug rehabilitation programs.  All the proceeds of this class are used for supplies for these classes.  JoleeJane is working hard to get her blog going so visit and bookmark it and come back in a couple weeks as she promises there will be more information about her organization and what you can do to help.  Check out pictures from the class using the photo album on the left hand side of our blog.

Some brought their own pictures to personalize their bottlecaps.  Pictures of children, Mothers, Fathers, Grandmothers or some used the pictures supplied of art and symbols.  Kay Ellen, I'm sorry somehow I didn't get a picture of your finished necklace, it was great.  Heather, age 8 did great necklace.  Patsy and her two kids worked in unison to get her necklace done......I think they'll have to share :} 

If you're interested in taking this class, contact JoleeJane and she can give you additional information. 

 

If you've been to the Barn, you've probably seen the large claw footed bathtub. 

Well, it was picked up today for a new and revitalizing life.  It was loaded in the pickup truck and I saw a photo opportunity so I asked if they could place the little guy in the tub for a pic.  Isn't he cute, his name is Conner.  I bet he'll be enjoying some great baths in that tub!

   

As usual there was wonderful finds at the Barn and if you missed it, mark the date for our next Barn Sale in April for more new and exciting vintage EVERYTHING...you know you love it!  Check back later for more updates.
