a change of plans.

Published on by Quandie

For me, one of the more stressful parts of having an occasional sale in the carriage house is worrying about the weather.

Will it be too hot?  Will it be humid and sticky?  Will it rain?  Or even worse, will we have severe weather?  We did have a sale once when the severe weather sirens were going off, I really don’t want to repeat that experience.

For that reason, we’ve decided to postpone the Carriage House Sale to next week.

Apparently I should have had a sale last year when we were in a drought and barely had any rainy days all summer, because this year is turning out to be quite the opposite.

It has been awesome for the garden.

But not so awesome for having a sale.

The forecast for this week?  Yesterday, severe thunderstorms and rain.  Today, evening storms. Wednesday, storms possible.  Thursday, rain all day.  Friday, more storms.  Saturday, even more storms.

It’s almost comical.  There is wet, stormy weather predicted for this entire week.  I really feel like mother nature is trying to tell me something.

In the past our merchandise has typically sprawled out from the carriage house.

As you may know, I have plenty of room for sprawling.

But sprawling isn’t really possible in severe weather, or even in simple rain.

So, I apologize for throwing a curve ball at those of you who were planning to be at the sale this week.  Hopefully you can make it next week instead, and fingers crossed that the weather will be better by then!

  1. I wondered with this week’s weather predictions if you’d make a change of plans.

    …fingers crossed for next week!

  2. Very sensible! Already making plans for next week! 😊 Netti BTW – I have a tool box and a miniature wooden dresser for you. Need nothing in return but both had your name on them and were just too good (and let’s face it – cheap!) to pass up. Since I assume you will be quite busy with the sale, I’ll place them discreetly on your deck? — or wherever you suggest. Just let me know so I don’t have to ‘bug’ you that day.

  3. Do you do commissions? Have you turned old looking into super contemporary? I love your work but we’re really more contemporary/eclectic.

  4. Definitely understand your decision to change date as weather is not cooperating but am also so sad that I will have to miss. I have been looking forward to your sale ever since you announced this coming back. Have been to other of your sales and they are amazing.

  5. Here too in NW Indiana – we keep having little pop ups of severe weather. I barely got the baby chickens back inside and we had a deluge yesterday! Was a tiny blip on radar and bam – we got 1/2 inch of rain! Good for the garden, but hard to plan outside stuff. Good luck with your sale – I am sure it will be amazing! Wish I was closer 🙂
