Farmhouse Industrial AKA the Yellow Farmhouse has been MIA

I love this time of year!! The weather is getting cooler, not really where I live, but I pretend.  Styles are changing in clothes, and in your home decor, you get to take out your Harvest decorations!!  Pumpkin candles, and start making your Thanksgiving plans.  But... the reason I am sort of missing in action from making stuff and posting stuff on here and at Yellow Farmhouse is my most favorite thing about this time of year... FOOTBALL!!  NOT JUST ANY FOOTBALL THOUGH... HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL... BASHA BEARS JUNIOR VARSITY TEAM...  My son Luke is a sophomore and he plays defensive end and something on the offense... but this isn't my first rodeo he has been playing tackle football since 2nd grade... yes tackle ... we realized at his first tee-ball game when he was 3 years old that when he hit the ball and decided to tackle the child with the baseball that maybe football was his sport...  I am that mom that knows what is going on I know if your a defensive end I scream "COME ON JONESY!! I WANNA SEE YOU SACK THAT QUARTER BACK !" &  since he is starting on offense too I know exactly what to LOOK FOR  & scream there too 'YOU BETTER FIRE OFF O-LINE & GET YOUR BLOCKS!" My favorite part is watching them enjoy themselves coming together as a team.  One thing I have to point out is that Luke has always fought hard for his positions on every team he has played on.  And we have had years when he thought his position wasn't what he wanted, or important.  It's important as parents to instill in your children at young age the importance of them, (of who they are we love you just because you are our children period!) not what they do first.  Secondly we showed Luke, if he didn't do his job, the team would loose, every position plays a part.  Over the years, he still walks it out, just like we all do with different areas of our lives.  This year my husband gave him this advice, start thanking God that He has given you a place to play and, do your best with a grateful heart, and see what He does.  God always come through for us, if we position our selves in the right place, with the right heart. Luke tweeted before his first game Phillipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."I didn't even tell you that Luke was playing with an ulcer on his left cornea so he couldn't really see he was in pain, and only had one contact in.. but needless to say he played almost the entire game offense and defense, and some special teams. THE BEARS CAME OUT WITH A 'W' FOR THEIR FIRST JV GAME {35-28} So if you miss me you can find me yelling "YOU BETTA HIT SOMEBODY!" to JONESY #55 at the Basha Bears Junior Varsity games Thursday nights.

This photo just sums up so much of me personally, my design style, my family, my life.  1st it showcases my favorite red door central to heart & home & family...2nd it reminds me of how God has creatively blessed me because I could not throw this balanced industrial, mod, stylish, vintage photo shoot together in less then 5 minutes before trying to get my 7th grader out the door to school & 3rd I see God's fingerprints alongside my own and then my daughter's along side mine for she is an artist and she help with the custom painting on the wooden crates.   THAT IS JUST THE 1..2..3.. That I am taking time to see and to be THANKFUL for I am sure there is SO MUCH MORE....  but now this part is your turn

New Day New Shop... choices choices....

I love to shop.... that is one of my passion, and I really don't think shopping describes what I do... I love to hunt for treasure... to find that thing that is so cool, or different, or old... that maybe so many people disregarded... but now it's mine!!!  Problem is my home is full of this stuff, because, I want to share my industrial vintage treasures...  I sell on Facebook, I started an Etsy store ( no sales yet), I sell on Ebay made two or three sales there.. craigslist...

What I appreciated most from my last post on my Etsy Shop opening, I think it was that one...  Is the input from you girls out there who SELL...and the other day Mr. Farmhouse comes home with a New Store:)  Yes I know there will be more of these stores, everyday someone is coming up with new store online.

Introducing Square Market....  https://squareup.com/market Yes another new store...  I know... I sound schizophrenic... maybe but have you ever kept trying things, and they just don't feel right?  And then something comes along, and the fit is perfect.  Well that is how I feel about SQUARE MARKET!!
So far so good, I love the easy navigating, how easy it is to post items, and how professional Square Market, makes your shop look... Easy to use and Easy on the eyes... Can't beat that combination...maybe it's my decorators, ADD...but if something doesn't catch my attention QUICK & EASY.... Well you get the picture...

Where do you sell?

(ie.. craigslist, facebook groups, etsy)

What is the most successful selling places for you?

How much time per week to you work on posting and selling stuff?

Have you heard of Square? 

Thanks in advance blogging sisters, and followers, and whoever.... I want input.... Last time you guys help me with a big decision.. looking for what do you do for

 S-U-C-C-E-S-S!!

Open up an Etsy Shop

I am trying to figure out how to get my inventory that is in my house out of my house???  Have any suggestions.. I would love your input... I have opened up an Etsy shop

http://www.etsy.com/shop/FarmhouseIndustrial

(this is the link to my Etsy Shop)

I have thought about trying to set up in a couple of local stores around where I live, the two that I am most interested in of course have waiting list...  then the other day on my Facebook business site 

https://www.facebook.com/FarmhouseIndustrialShabbyChic

(facebook business link)

I was approached by a store that is opening up but they are not close to my home, it sounds so exciting and I really want to get my stuff in a store... but I am just torn... thinking about my tendencies.. I don't like to travel as it is... do you think you would set up in a store that was really far from your home, like over an hour or more drive???  

And then I also have an opportunity to set up in a local shop and sell my stuff a little bit at a time.  The number one thing, is I need to get some of this inventory out of my home.  PLEASE ALL OF YOU OUT THERE IN BLOGGER WORLD... AND SUCCESSFUL SELLERS... LET ME KNOW YOUR TIPS AND TRICKS AND HOW YOU GET YOUR STUFF SOLD....  

Shut the Front Door...

Who loves doors???  I am in love with doors, and windows, and cabinets, and I also have two old leaded glass window panes...  I am thinking about framing them out with old barn wood...  I posted one photo album called Shut The Front Door @ Farmhouse Industrial... with all our doors for sale

First time as a vendor at a big major event and it was AWESOME, AMAZING and SO SUPER

HESITATE  when MR. FARMHOUSE'S JEEP BROKE DOWN THE JUST TURNED

WE DON'T REALIZE WHO MAKES ALL OF OUR STUFF COME TOGETHER TO BE

A SuCcEsS DID not Sell BUT 1 THING THAT WAS $100 AND IT WAS NOT EVEN

FOR ME IT WAS FOR MY FRIEND TRACI and i SOLD OVER $1200 WORTH OF STUFF

I GUESS THAT'S A LOT ACCORDING TO OTHERS.. WHAT IS MY TRICK WHAT

DID I SELL THEY ASK... COULDN'T TELL YOU CAME HOME WITH SO MUCH 

STUFF STILL... WHEN IT WAS SLOW IN THE BEGINNING, I STARTED DOING WHAT

I ALWAYS DO, I START TALKING TO MY BOOTH NEXT TO ME, GETTING TO 

KNOW THE VENDORS, THEN I TELL THEM I AM GOING TO PRAY THAT

THEIR BOOTH DOES AWESOME, AND THAT THEY ARE BLESSED...CALLED MARKET

PLACED MINISTRY... 

AND I STARTED CONNECTING WITH THE PEOPLE... AND FORGET ABOUT 

WHAT I NEED CAUSE I KNOW GOD he always takes care of that I MIGHT AS WELL

SHARE SOME BLESSINGS WHILE I AM THERE... AND BEFORE I KNEW IT
