Let the Fall Show Countdown Begin!

Hello everyone! We hope you are having a fabulous time soaking in the summer, because we think we are starting to feel a little nip in the air. . . autumn is slowly but surely on its way! If we were "normal" ladies, we might be starting to feel a bit sad about the long, warm summer days coming to an end. But fall is our favorite time of year for many reasons - it means leaves changing color, pumpkin decor, and fabulous new finds for you to discover at our fall show on October 4-5!


 We are busy bees (I guess you would say busy hens) right about now. We are literally running around like chickens with our heads cut off! This weekend, Kathy and Carrie are hitting the road to visit some of our dealers and deliver fall flyers like the one you see above. We love getting touch base with our amazing dealers and get a sneak peek at some of the antique and vintage finds they have in store for you. The only hard part is not wanting to buy all of it ourselves! Don't worry, we'll be sure to save some for you ;)

Be sure to monitor our Facebook page over the next month, as tickets go on sale SEPTEMBER 1ST! We will be having lots of fun contests  and giving away tickets nearly every week. If you are on our email list you will also be able to stay in the loop. Starting now, we will be sending out all blog posts like this one via email so that you don't miss a beat! Click HERE to join our email list and add your information on the bottom left corner of the page.

For now, here is a bit of inspiration from previous Three Speckled Hen fall shows:


 




Don't forget that you can purchase Early Bird tickets again this year, which give you TWO full hours to shop the show and purchase your favorite items before we open for general admission. That's what we call a true steal!!

Start Planning your Girls' Getaway Weekend!



One of the things that just tickles our feathers is how many women make our show their biannual "Girls Weekend" getaway. We kid you not! We have had so many groups approach us at our shows and introduce themselves as BFF's or mothers and daughters (one family from Kansas and northern California meet here every fall) or just an assortment of friends who have shopping, junking and having fun in common.


  This last show we had a group of women who really pulled at our heart strings. They were all longtime friends, mainly from southern California, who share the distinction of being fairly young widows. They called our May 2014 show their first annual "Widows' Junking Weekend".  A great group of gals who put on their big girl panties and realized how important female friendships are and that they needed to take time out to celebrate their friendships, shop, relax, shop, drink a little wine and, of course, shop some more!  


We encourage you to grab your nearest and dearest gal pals and come see us for our October show! Save the weekend of October 4 & 5, make reservations, enjoy some of Paso's great restaurants in the evening and come back the next day to get some great deals before our vendors pack up to leave on Sunday.  Tickets will be on sale online starting September 1 on www.brownpapertickets.com. We look forward to meeting you and your girlfriends!

We are always up for a Girls Getaway!

The Hens,
Carrie, Kathy and Susi
