Diva's and Princesses

Are you a Diva or a Princess? Here at Station 8 we don't see why you should have to choose! We believe that there is a little bit of both in every girl. That's just one reason why we asked the Faith family, the founders of the Princess Ball to join us for our third DIVA date this Friday!

The Princess Ball is a fundraiser being held in memory of Valicity Faith, a very courageous little princess who lost her battle with leukemia last July. The ball will be held March 26th in the ballroom above Alpine Lighting in Kalispell, and includes silent and live auction's! All the proceeds will be donated to Angel Flight West. Tickets for the Princess Ball will be sold at Station 8 during our DIVA date this Friday March 18! So please come support this great cause!

Of course there will be the usual chocolate, wine, and shopping, does it get any better than that? Yes it does! Did I mention ball gown's? We will all be dressed for the occasion in ball gowns, and accessories from Fasion Finds! Just one more reason to come join the fun (it's not often we shed the jeans and boots for gowns)!

Hope to see you all there!

All the Best,
Rachel & Colette

Seattle Adventures #2

On our recent adventures in the Seattle area we spent an entire day in the sweet little town of Snohomish Wa. Everybody that's familiar with the area had told us it was a must for antiques, so we drove the few miles from where we were staying in Monroe to check it out! I have to say not only did we find some vintage goodies to bring home, but we were inspired by all the wonderful shops.

And did I mention the sunshine! It was a gorgeous day! We had a blast strolling the streets, doing what we love the most, Shopping! And Colette basking in the sunshine in front of her favorite color, does it get any better?

All the Best,

Rachel & Colette

Seattle Adventures #1

Everything fits in the Suburban!!? Ok so we found the one thing that won't fit in the Suburban! And of course we had to have it, and it was already bought and paid for. What to do? Strap it in!Rachel: "I'll hang on to it!"

Colette: "I'll only go 60!"

Yes, even in the city, in bumper to bumper traffic, us Montana girls do whatever it takes to get the job done!
More adventures to come!

All the best,
Rachel & Colette

Seattle travels!

Greetings all! We have spent the last four days soaking up, no not the rain, the sun in the lovely Seattle area. And as promised we have halted in all of our frantic shopping to share it with you. Sadly we are not able to post any pictures yet, as we do not have the ability on the laptop. You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words, start counting (just kidding)! We more or less just wanted you all to know that we are still on the planet, all is well, and we are finding the most delicious things for the store. Like lovely moss covered garden salvage, industrial pieces to die for, and yummy spring colored furniture and accents to chase away winter. Just a few things for you to think about until we get back!!!

All the best from Seattle!

We're goin on a Buying Trip!

So this is a picture of our best friend! At least when we're going on a buying trip! Rest assured there will be an after shot with it packed full of all our new goodies.

Our destination this time is the Ruffles & Rust show in Monroe WA., and all the little towns in between. For all of you familiar with the tv. show American Pickers you can imagine what it's like, only I think we have way more fun, and we dress cuter! If only we had a car cam...


As it is not possible for us to be in two places at once, you may experiance a phenomenon we call SWS, or"Station 8 Withdrawl Syndrome." This is experienced when you drive by our cute little shop and the windows are dark, and when you call and get the machine. This phenomenon is not permanent, and will cease to exist on the 24th, with no lasting side effects.

All the best,

Rachel & Colette

A bit of Inspiration!

Looking outside the window, I see snowflakes the size of nickels!!
Wow it is really coming down. but inside my shop, I am looking at all the spring inspiration!
Sweet loveliness of things to come...birds singing, wicker furniture to put out...yes I can dream of days ahead of us!

Back to work I go, readying for my Buying trip, Mega Garage sale, DIVA date and all of the myriad of things planned!

All the best,
Colette

Everything's coming up Roses!

Ladies, we have the roses, the vintage Valentine's sentiments, the romance...ahhh February. Love is in the air--I am loving all these reds, and it certainly helps warm up the atmosphere in here! February is the month of red, and there's nothing so endearing than roses, vintage pieces of Valentine's of years past. I'm in love with all of it!

Will you be our Valentine?

All the best,

Colette, Rachel, Betsy
