We've been getting the barn ready for our tag sale this weekend (Friday - Sunday this week). Plus, we've been hauling furniture to Lucketts for the great Spring Market held there this weekend (Saturday-Sunday).

Here’s a snapshot of  ’a day in the life of a Chartreuse girl’:

Chartreuse & co trucks it to Lucketts!

And here are some photos of the best little truckers on earth:

Here's the crew in after filling just one of the four box trucks we loaded and took to Lucketts today.

That last caption was a lie.  These are the guys who really make it happen.  We just show up for the photos and look cute.

Here we go!

Okay, this is where you really get to see what's going on behind the scenes.  Look closely at all the fabulous stuff.  We were all so excited to see what each other brought, that it was very difficult to focus on all the hauling . . .

Here we are, showing off the cool signs Molly has made for the sale.  Just look at how all that great stuff (4 box trucks' worth) is stacked in there, just waiting for us to pull it onto the floor and work our magic!

But honestly, we couldn't do it at all without these terrific (and very strong!) fellows to help us out.  Thanks guys!

Wow! All our fabulous finds, crammed into that space.  Exactly how are we going to get it all set up, decorated, and ready for you by Saturday morning?

Ooh,  can you pick out your favorite treasure from this tantalizing photo?

All that, and look how amazing the barn is right now!  We're open Friday-Sunday this week.  It's fabulous, fresh, and ready!

This 120+ year old chandelier was originally gas powered.  Yup.  It’s the real deal!

I just LOVE this amazing, 11' long farm table.  It's absolutely perfect for al fresco dining.  It's a jaw dropper!  And I love it with the adorable little industrial stools.  Grab a glass and have a seat!

Stunning vintage statue!  Her wear gives her just the right patina.  While she'd be fabulous is your garden, imagine her atop a french chest or a rough table.  Stunning!

This diminutive server is so versatile.  As a hall stand, converted to a sink vanity, tucked into the small guest bedroom.  And the color/paint treatment is so neutral and sophisticated.  Love it!!

Donna of Hunt & Harvest has found, and put together a great collection of vintage items.  Notice how the grouping, assembled like that, makes each piece more significant.  Collections, displayed together, make a statement in your home.

Distance is nothing to us, if it means great finds!  Lew of Bountiful Harvest just returned from the big antique fair at Brimfield, Massachusetts.  It was days of great shopping, and she brought her treasure back to share with you this weekend.
