The Adventures of Colette & Rachel continue!

So Saturday morning, at the crack of dawn, Rachel and I head to the sEcond SAturday flea market. I dropped rachel offf at the curb so she could stand in the long line, while I parked the trailer. Yikes! By the time I got done, she was laready inside, doing what she loves--BUYING!

We metamazing people,like Lori and her gorgeous daughters Amanda & her sister.

Their booth was darling and delicious and I wanted to just bring it all back to Montana, including the girls! (they helped carry my purchases out--thanks girls!)

Here's some of their delightful goods for sale. Aren't they delicious?

There were just so many scrumptious things to tempt our budget, so we had to prioritize and edit and tell ourselves "we just can't take it all home!" We do have limits!

This is one of the" over the top talented artists" that was at the show, and of course, I bought several of her creations. You'll just have to wait till I get home to see the goodies!

And this incredible woman had amazing items-vintage, handmade, everything!

Look at the piles, the masses of goods--we shopped for hours!

And so many clever displays and lovelies!

So, needless to say, Rachel found some amazing things, I kept giving her money, she kept buying more and more and more...

So the show was a success for us. Let's just say we have many many goodies. We found industrial, salvage, leather, and so some of our favorites.

But you will have to wait till we get back, unload, display it all, and then come to our DIVA night January 27th to see what we bought!!!!!

Our story continues....

All the best, from Seattle, Colette & Rachel

We have arrrived!

So we are a bit excited to start the junking, and get a bit crazed when we see any sign that says Antiques! And who can't appreciate a combination like this? Pizza, a deli sandwich AND antiques? Sign us up!!!

Okay, so here's a pop quiz: which trailer in the photo is ours????A prize if you can select the correct one! I know, it's really really hard, but just focus! giggle giggle

More to come , as we have just begun to have fun on our Buying Trip!

All the best from Seattle,

Colette & Rachel

We're on the road Again!

Rachel, get the trailer hooked up so we can leave already!
There's miles to be travelled and dozens of places to shop!

Okay, so winter driving isn't the prettiest, but the trailer doesn't mind that its dirty. it just wants to be on the road, and loaded up with tons of goodies!

Just in case anyone flags us down on the highway and wants to peek at our goodies, we make them drive back to Columbia Falls Montana to see our stuff!

And you can all see our "new" arrivals on Friday January 27th at our first DIVA Date night for 2012! Wine and chocolate will be served while you shop our new found treasures!

SAVETHE DATE LADIES! JAN, 27TH 6-9PM!!!!

All the best,

Colette and Rachel

It's Time for the Children's Market!

We've waited all year for it....snow? Wearing our long john's? No No No! the children's Christmas Market at Station 8!

A tented room just for the children to shop in! Filled with yummy, delightful gifts for the entire family.

All priced for the child's budget, and starting at 25 cents! We help them select, wrap and tag their gift choices, and all parents have to do is bring in the kids! Leave the rest to us!

And of course, while the children are shopping, you can meander the shop and see what's fresh and ready for gift giving!

so now we can hope for snow, and put on our long johns and build some snowmen soon!!

Children's Market runs from Dec. 9-14th, and yes we are open Sundays through Christmas!

All the holiday best,

Colette & team

IT'S A SIGN!

Ok so it's not the greatest picture! But we really do have a great selection of sassy signs in for your holiday gift giving! Hand made by our very sassy vendor Merla Barta. We also have a great selection of vintage inspired signs made by Brad Butler. Another local artist who uses reclaimed wood as his canvas, and local attractions as his inspiration!



Here's your sign (ha ha ha)!

These are only a few of the great selection we have in right now, so come in and see us if one of these would be the perfect gift for someone on your list!


Happy Holidays,

Colette & Rachel

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!

Tis the season to be thinking gifts, gift, gifts! And what girl dosen't love jewelry! Here are a few of my favorite things, and hopefully a little gift inspiration for you! New to Station 8 is jewelry by Lisa Souers Designs. Lisa is a very creative jewelry artist who we met at the Farm Chicks show in June. I fell in love with her things, and decided we just had to carry them in the shop.


Of course on the finer side of things we have Montana sapphire jewelry by Gold Creek Jewelry. Made right here in Columbia Falls by our good friend and co-worker Devie Brown.

Look at all that sparkle and shine!

Also new to the store are lovely vintage bib necklaces by Hope Kauffman.

We also have a great collection of vintage jewelry, and quirky repurposed bling!

Stay tuned for more great gift idea's!

All the Best,

Rachel & Colette
