Vintage Pickin' Weekend


Last weekend was absolutely amazing! Vintage Pickin' is a vintage Barn Sale put on by the incredible blogger and entrepreneur April, @vintagepickin on Instagram! I have known April for a while now and I love supporting her events and shopping all of the amazing things that she gets ready for this awesome weekend! 

This year I was able to collaborate with her and include a few Pin it Co. goodies in the swag bags she curated for the first 100 in line! So me and my girls loaded up early last Friday morning and headed out to Fyffe, Alabama for the day!


April was super sweet and gave me a hat and t-shirt, which I get every year, for free! When I tell you this woman is so genuine and precious, I mean it!


If you love to #doitforthegram, April always has beautiful set-ups that make for great photo-ops! 




Vintage Pickin' always has some of the cutest items and vendors, and luckily this sign informed me that Shane had apparently called and said I could buy whatever I wanted! Who would've thought?!!


Seriously though, check out all of these beautiful vintage goodies!













My favorite find were these vintage batons-- how amazing! My majorette heart was in heaven!



Lindsey's favorite was this daisy topiary she found!


We also had an amazing time meeting so many great people! One of my customers approached us and we even ended up in the Vintage Pickin' video with her!




I also got to meet Ashley from @86andeverettedesignco and she was precious!


Keep an eye out-- we might just be carrying some of her jams in store soon! They are incredible!



Vintage Pickin' and the work April puts in each year never fail to absolutely amaze me! I love this event and I cannot wait to continue to come each year and collaborate with April even more in the future!

Joy Prom 2019


I say this every year, but this year's Joy Prom was absolutely the BEST yet! It was yet again another amazing night getting to see all of the hard work this day takes come to fruition with our participants having the time of their lives!

We put together a fun little video so all of you can get a closer glimpse into what Joy Prom is and just how incredibly awesome it is!


This year was the 6th annual prom and we put together an Alice in Wonderland theme that turned out really incredible!






Special shoutout to the ladies with Vintage Rental Co. for donating the decor for the photo backdrop!


Our awesome volunteers spent the morning getting prepared before participants arrived-- setting up the registration tables, decorating, and of course Maw made sure the King + Queen sashes were fully functioning!










After participants arrive, they can choose to head to hair/makeup or they can play games like bowling, basketball, and whiffle ball in the gym!






Then, it's time for walkout! One of the most special and sweet times for our participants!





Aren't they all so beautiful?! And they sure do love to dance! We all had so much fun on the dance floor! One of my favorite parts each year is getting to dance with the participants and see them having a blast!



Would it even be a prom without a King & Queen? This year's winners were Trenton Spray + Becca Giger!




Every year this day gives me more joy than I can even describe. It is one of the highlights of the year and I am so glad that I get to be a part of putting together something so special for the most amazing people. I already can't wait for Joy Prom 2020!

A special thank you to our awesome sponsors!
