Thanks!! It was a great sale! See you in the spring!

 

The weather was fabulous all week! How lucky can you get? We had another wonderful sale, furniture and smalls going out the door right up to the last hour on Saturday!

 

It was a very busy week, with many changes in the decor of the barn as we constantly filled in the empty spaces. It was great to see many familiar faces and many new that were so excited on their first trip to the Red Barn Sale!

 

Have a great winter! We will see you at the Spring Sale, sometime at the end or May or beginning of June 2013.  If you want to be notified of the sale when the time is near, email to theredbarn@shaw.ca for your name to be added to our email list.

Next spring, we'll  try and do better with posting pictures of the new additions to the barn, this year we kind of fell behind in doing so.

 

 Happy Trails to You.........See you in the Spring!!

The Weather Was Perfect At The Barn Today!

This morning, before opening....blue, blue sky, the slightest breeze, bright sunshine! We sure picked a good week for our sale!

A couple of early customers stop along the way to say hello to a couple of beautiful horses!

 We had a nice steady stream of visitors on this beautiful day. They didn't bother Breezy, the little white mare, at all.

 As per usual, we've added more stock, big and small. Have a look at the slide show, you may find your special "must have" that wasn't even in the barn until today!



You should really come out again before the sale ends. Last day is Saturday, September 29th, then you'll have to wait until the spring to visit the Red Barn once more!!

Beautiful weather for our opening at 3:00 p.m.

Sales were brisk!

 

But don't worry!!

We have more!! We were filling up the empty spots and emptying more boxes of smalls as we winded up the day!

 

The slide show below shows opening day pictures. As we add every day, it's hard to keep up with what's coming and going, so just come out for a drive! The weather is going to be great all week!!

 



 

The turtle was not for sale! Found hiding in the Red Shed!!

 

 

The horse is not for sale either, but makes a pretty picture!!

See you at the sale!!

 

See you on Monday!

It's coming together! There's still work to do, but it's looking good! Such a variety! We always seem to find some really unique items inbetween the two sales!  A few more pictures for you, but you aren't seeing it all, we're not quite done yet, and of course, we want you to come out and see for yourself the great assortment of antique, vintage and collectible items.

 

 

 

 

I spooked the ducks in the pond, but snuck up and caught a shot of this guy!! A woodchuck!

 

SEE YOU ON MONDAY, DOORS OPEN AT 3:00 P.M.

 

At the Barn today

On the way over to the barn, I had to take another look at these goodies at the Red Shed

 

 I am in LOVE with this old street sign!!! But I promise it will still be there on Monday!

A bushel and a peck? Great for gathering those leaves!

 

Meanwhile back at the barn...

Boxes and more boxes!

 

 Here we go again, move, place, rearrange,move it somewhere else, keep at it until it has just the look we are striving for!

 



 

A few pictures to look at, we have lots of work to do yet, more pictures to come on the weekend....and you're still not going to see it all!!

Lift, move, place....

That's what we do best!! Moving furniture in and around at the barn today.  Setting up is a big job!! Some of the furniture is in, more to come, and we have started on some of the smalls. Here is a little peek into the very beginning of the sale.

More furniture ready to come in, and more stashed away to replace what will be sold.

 

Meanwhile, across the yard at the Red Shed, John has been busy setting up there.

 

Lots more to come!

here's a peek inside of the Red Shed

 

 

More pictures coming as we progress.

 

 

 

 

 

Something looks different!

Wow!!

Can you tell from here?

Have a closer look!

 

A brand new roof and a new paint job! Much as we love the rustic look of a weathered old barn, there comes a time....

The work has meant a minor delay in getting the barn ready for our fall sale, but we're finally starting and we'll be loaded and ready for the fun to begin on Monday, September 24th, at 3:00 p.m.

 

A few pictures tomorrow, with more to be added before the sale.



 

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!

.....the resident geese!

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! 

................in the barn

 

.................the Red Shed

See you Thursday, Friday, Saturday!

A GREAT OPENING EVENI

THE RAIN STAYED AWAY! ....for a good part of the evening!

We had a wonderful opening, and are busy restocking this morning before opening at 11:00.

A few pictures taken as we fill up the barn

We are still working at it, but here are a few pictures taken and you can see it is starting to look good!

This slideshow below is taken in the Red Barn, the one below it is taken in the Red Shed (you pass it on your way to the barn...a little extra shopping fun! ).

We'll hope the rain lets up, but we will open regardless! We're looking forward to all our regular visitors and we'll welcome the new ones. See you tomorrow..........! 5:00 p.m.

5 MORE SLEEPS TIL WE OPEN

There's lots of work to be done over the next 5 days, but we will be ready to open as scheduled: 5:00 p.m. Monday, May 28th! It's unbelievable how it eventually all comes together! ......and it always looks so beautiful when it's set up!

We are loaded as usual with so much furniture and collectibles and we have more on hand to put out as items are sold! We just keep filling up those empty spots! You're sure to find that treasure that's just waiting for you!!

  A few pictures taken today, Leslie and John are hard at it!

There's John!....taking one of many loads out to the barn to be set out!

Lesley taking one of  many boxes of goodies  up the stairs to the barn loft!

Don't worry, it will look real purdy by opening eve!

A "before" picture......so many treasures hiding in the boxes, just waiting to be displayed!

Here's a nice piece..........love that pair of french doors too!

Too cool!!
