THANKS FOR A GREAT SPRING SALE!

 

You may have seen this family on your walk over to the barn.
 

Thanks to all of you who came out to the Spring Sale at the Red Barn! It was a super successful sale, and we were happy to see our faithful longtime customers and also many new ones that were very impressed with our selection and prices and can't wait to come back in the fall.

So until then, happy antique hunting, that's what we'll be doing all summer long, finding what we know you will love to see at the sale.
By the way, did you know we have a WISH LIST?

We love to know what people want to see at the sale! So we keep a wish list, a list of items to watch for when we're out "shopping." There are items we may otherwise not pick up in our travels but if we know they are of interest to our customers, and we can pass them on at a reasonable price, we will pick them up and they'll be out there at the sale!

Just email theredbarn@shaw.ca to add anything to the WISH LIST! There is no obligation to purchase anything, but we'd like to have what you like to see available at the sale!

FRIDAY & ONLY ONE MORE DAY OF THE SALE!

Seems like we just opened the sale and as I post this, Friday is gone, and there's only one more day!

It's been so much fun all the way through the week and we've enjoyed our regular visitors and met so many lovely new visitors to the barn that were so happy they had taken the ride and are sorry they didn't know about the sale over the last few years!

Try to stop by Saturday, we'll be closing up at 5:00 p.m. and not re-opening until the fall for our fall sale.

Hope to see you tomorrow. There's still a great variety, we've been restocking all week, including today!

Wednesday came and went too quickly!

The sun was shining, the birds were singing,


the geese and gosslings relaxed in the shade......... it was a beautiful day to visit the Red Barn!
We've been restocking the barn and it's hard to keep up with the picture taking.
These pictures were taken this morning (Wednesday) but some of those items may not be there now, we had a nice steady stream of shoppers that left with arms full and a smile on their face.
As I was leaving mid afternoon, there was much unpacking of more boxes going on!

See you Thursday, Friday, Saturday!
