Petite Retreat Special Guests!

A special announcement about our upcoming Spring Petite Retreat:

We are so pleased to share with you that our friends Julie and MaryBeth from Poppyseeds will be our special guests at our Spring event! They will be sharing their treasures with you here at Retreat Farm on Saturday, May 8 ONLY, so don't miss them!

We met Julie on our first trip out to the Island, when we just HAD to stop into a darling little shop, Poppyseeds, on the side of the highway through Stanwood. Ever since, we've been friends! Julie &  MaryBeth {cousins} have been wonderful about making us feel right at home in our new community. Within a month after moving here, we were renting a room in their shop and displaying our Retreat treasures, until January of this year.

The girls are constantly re-filling the rooms of this charming little cottage with wonderful finds & vintage style! Color is really their 'thing' - it's a happy place!

We've had a lot of fun doing special projects at their store, events, and flea markets both local and distant with them, over the past year and a half. Having them participate in our first little show is our chance to thank them for all they have done for us... we really are excited to share our friends and their business with you at our first vintage seasonal market.

So we invite you to bring along your love of color and whimsy when you come to our May event, because 'the Poppyseeds Girls' will have it in spades! Visit their blog to see more, and Follow them on Facebook, too!

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye....

Over the past 14 months, we have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of Poppyseeds. Sweet Marybeth & Julie have posted a goodbye to us on their blog, and we just want to say thank you in a very public way for these two lovely women and all they have done for our business. They have made such an impact on us...

 

 

 

 

Our little room has undergone many changes as we shuffle things in and out, and change up the themes & color palettes each month. Shop owners Julie and MaryBeth have always offered us the freedom to explore our options, develop & define our brand image,  build our reputation and following, and contribute to their shop... and we are so grateful for that. There are so many wonderful people in the vintage/antique world who reach out to others, and these girls are at the top of the list!

It means the world to us that they allowed us to come in and put our mark on our room, promoting both our own business AND theirs in the process. Thank you for your trust, your honesty, and your faith in us, girls! We hope you know how special we think you are, and how much this time has meant to us. We wish you much success in the future, and we'll be dropping by to keep in touch, don't worry! ;0) {Besides, we're not really all that far away!}
