The Red Barn is no more.

After six years. This Store has finally closed it's doors. It couldn't make it .In 2005 when we first moved here,they were building this barn.It started out to be a realtor.Which didn't last long before they put it up for sale.It was on the market for just a while until someone , who had moved here from Flordia, He open the place with the intention of selling local aritistes crafts.
Our neighbor, who we found out was one of those artistes. She put up some of her paintings .Which she never did sell any of. And in turn took down her paintings.
I know for myself,I rarelly stopped by the barn, All because I knew I couldn't afford any of the well liked crafts that would catch my eye. And there were a lot I liked.
So, Once again the barn stands empty. Awaiting for another who can vision what it could be. Buy it and reopen it.
Sad to say farwell to the red barn.

I can't wait to do this, I love the idea you have to visit each of the wineries. I do enjoy the taste of the pearl , I seem to go straight for it. I should give the others a go .
A wonderful place the switch. I will the two greeters , I think I can recall what they look like. But never knew their names. A cat and two dogs. I am glad they are going to have a sale for the holidays as well, If we had the money I sure would go stock up the Christmas gifts for the family .

I love stores like these. I do enjoy walking around and seeing how many talented people there are in our community. I just happened across my next door neighbors art work.She paints. Lovely sceneries, I believe they are places that she just so happens to come across when she is out and traveling . I could spend a good enough of cash in this store.

Then there is one lady who knits , crochets , makes those jean purses and the one item I love to have had, was the 450.00 quilt . Her work was great. you could tell she took a lot of pride in her work. It showed.

And then there is the wooden birdhouses , and cravings. This man has so much talent. You can see it in each piece. Worth every penny his was asking for. But have to admit , afraid to put it out if the weather got wet. Specially those bird houses .

I have seen both of these talented people outside the store, when they had the County craft fair. Where they brought their items into town , set up their booth to sell outside of the store.

Just knowing this store is there when ever I want to take time away from home and walk around , to look over all the great working of the local neighbors .

I know I will be taking any of my family that come to visit me , to this wonderful store. And just think this use to be a real estate company. They had built it and within two years of it opening it was closed. Am just glad they found a better use for the building. Such as the RED BARN OF GIFTS.
