From the Farm to the Store

On Sunday, Joey and I went to look at some double hung wooden windows that we had found on Craiglist as potential ‘old for new’ windows in our garage which is currently under construction. In addition to the gorgeous windows, we found an amazing young couple who are urbanites with country hearts – much like us. The minute I saw their Silkies (aka fluffy little chickens) I knew we had found two new friends!

Silkies are one of the most popular and loved breeds of backyard farmers given they are the lap kitty of the chicken world – super cute and fluffy with a sweet temperament. My favorite thing about the silkie though is that they are such wonderful mother’s that they are known for being willing to adopt baby ducks that have lost their moms. Seriously how cute is that!!!

I went searching for information on where to get chickens in Los Angeles and found this incredible site. Who knew you could buy chickens by mail!

So for all moms, today’s inspiration comes from the farm! Enjoy.



Farm Style

I was so saddened when Shabby Chic filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy so was very happy to find Rachel Ashwell is back and fighting. Her blog will keep you up to date on the happenings of Shabby Chic! Her style is perfect for city farm girls like myself! Though with all that white, I am thinking an outdoor tub would absolutely be necessary for a wash before heading inside!





Farm Toys

Have you heard how kids don't know where milk comes from these days (no not the bottle - but the cow)? Hard to believe. We carry some super cute animal toys (horse and cow rattles and also bedding) and Minimink's organic 3-piece outfits and onesies which are all perfect for playing farm at home. Need inspiration - look no further than the toy box.
