The excitement is building...only 17 more days until The Farm Chicks show, I need one of those calanders like kids use at Christmas to count down the days (I wonder if I have one in the stock room?)! We leave in only 15 days! Oh my I can't wait!!

So on Monday, we priced the majority of our treasures. Thre are definately deals to be had! We have such cute stuff! A great mix of guy and girly. Fabulous old cameras, typewriters, fans, framed botanicals, burlap stepstools...all centering around our " British Colonial" look. We'll add a bit of velvet, lace, linen and silver pieces for texture and sparkle. And of course lots of antique gold frames and drapey netting over the tent to give that touch of romance!

The goody's are priced, the trailer is ready to be packed, and most importantly the outfits have been purchased! I think we're ready. Hope to see you there.

All the best,

Colette & Rachel The Montana Farm Chicks.

Introducing Station 8 Antiques!

I can't believe it's finally happened--I'm blogging. The girls told me"It has to be done" so, as a good shop owner, I listened to my girls! I am sitting here shaking with excitement and have become tongue tied. So, the girls say, "Just tell your story."

Let me tell you about my shop,"The Shops at Station 8", located in the small town of Columbia Falls, Montana, just a few miles west of Glacier Park. I fell in love with this 100 year old train depot in 2007 and after renovating it just a bit, I opened my antiques and home decor store on June 7, 2008! My dream came true and I am still counting my blessings that I am living my dream of owning my very own shop. Of course, I knew I couldn't fill a 4000 s.f. building all myself, so I carefully selected the finest merchants to join my team, thus, The Shops at Station 8 was born. I thrive on merchandising, creating delightful vignettes, inspiring displays and having fun with my loyal customers! And every day is new and fresh and challenging, and isn't that the best? What could be better? I plan to meet you here each week to share the goings on at Station 8.

All the best,

Colette
