Just in case you didn’t already see the message, the Carriage House Sale has been postponed due to weather.

I made this decision on Tuesday when the forecast said to expect gusty winds and hail for both today and tomorrow.  Since then the forecast has changed multiple times per day, and the latest I saw said a “stray thunderstorm is possible” this evening or tomorrow morning.

Now I feel like I jumped the gun and should have held my nerve and continued with the sale anyway.  It’s gloomy and drizzly, but not exactly dangerous.  But, the responsible thing to do was not take any chances with a crowd of people gathered under my large maple trees during a gusty wind.

I sometimes feel like I must have done something wrong in a previous life because I seem to have such bad luck with weather when it comes to my sales.  One year we literally had tornado sirens go off during the sale.  I really don’t want to repeat that experience.

So, the sale is temporarily postponed.  At this point we tentatively plan to hold it next week, but that is once again dependent on the weather.  I’m learning my lesson and not planning too far in advance (which totally goes against my nature).

But this gives me more time to get things ready, and to share some of the fun merch with you guys before the sale, starting with some great finds for the garden.

I’ve got quite a few buckets.

Some of them are pre-drilled with drainage holes so you can plant in them.

And some of them are not.

But you could always add your own holes.  Or use a bucket as a small trash can, or in the laundry room.

Of course I have the Flower Market sign that I shared earlier in the week …

And I have lots of rusty pots …

and other rusty garden ornamentation such as this buddha.

I’ll have a smattering of toolboxes.

As well as some other pretty floral items like this flower bucket …

and this pretty pink child sized chair.

I’ve got some fantastic vintage books including this set of travelogues by H.V. Morton.

I’ve also got a couple of sets of my painted books …

There will be fun finds for the kitchen too, like this coffee pot …

these vintage cookbooks and a pretty French crock …

or this vintage vinegar and oil set.

I don’t have too much in the way of furniture although I still have this set of barstools from last year with the price marked down to $50 for all three …

As well as this simple desk from last year …

I also have this cabinet that I haven’t shared here on the blog yet (but will have a post about soon).

Along with some fun industrial stools.

My friends Sue and opK will also be bringing over some merch before the sale too, so there is bound to be something for everyone.

I’d say mark your calendars, but then again … maybe not quite yet.  Let’s just play that by ear for now.  I’ll definitely keep you posted next week.
