ramblings from an arkansas farm girl

get thee to The Junk Ranch

By

Yesterday I spent the afternoon at The Junk Ranch in Prairie Grove. If you live in Northwest Arkansas and are looking for something to do today, GO. Admission Saturday (today) is $5. You will find plenty of antiques, vintage, repurposed, primitive and homemade items plus live music and good food spread over 35 acres of pastureland. You couldn’t ask for better weather. If you aren’t feeling the spirit of fall, The Junk Ranch will take you there. And p.s., since today is the last day, vendors will be ready to deal!

A few pics from yesterday…

Specimen Frames – Dried Flowers on Display

By

displaying dried leaves

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of fall leaves. I collect them on my daily walks. Open any random book in our house and odds are good that a dried leaf will flutter to the ground. And as of late, I’ve become obsessed with specimen-type frames which are ideal for displaying said fall leaves. This one came from Terrain. I’m obsessed with Terrain, too. (But this is not a sponsored post.)

I could say these frames provide a great way to keep fall around year round, or your favorite flower before winter takes it, or a bloom from your birthday bouquet—and all that would be true—but really, I like the overall look of this. Part sleek industrial, part mad botanist, part urban schoolhouse.Continue Reading

Oh Snap! – Vintage Camper Photo Booth

By

Oh Snap!

Oh Snap! is a vintage camper photo booth John and I wandered into Sunday at the Clothesline Fair in Prairie Grove. Besides our schnauzers, this is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time. According to the owner (website under construction), her new photo booth concept is available for parties, school and church events, corporate parties, anytime. This is so seriously creative and another one of those things I wish I’d thought of. (By the way, Oh snap! is playful slang for Oh no! or Oh shoot! or as my Momma says, Oh foot!)Continue Reading
