Long time no talk, huh? If you've wondered where I've been for most of June, the short answer is Manomet. The long answer is that I've been spending every free moment I have down in Manomet, MA (just South of Plymouth) transforming this gigantic white trailer into a mobile barn (complete with a cow, pig and full vegetable garden) for the wonderful women of Holmes Farm's brand new mobile farm stand.

This monsterous trailer needed to be sanded, primed, painted, resanded, repainted, drawn on, painted on and sealed all by hand and all during a particularly rainy June while all-the-while being parked outside in the elements. It was definitely a labor of love and I couldn't have done it without the help I got from Jeremy, Liz and Jennifer. Thank you guys so much!!

There are 2 ways to see the trailer in action- you can either go directly to Holmes Farm on Saturdays and support their farm stand or catch them at the Plymouth Farmer's Market every Thursday at Plymouth Plantation.

I can't believe I'm (almost) done! I'm as happy as a pig in...uh, mud.

For as long as I can remember I've always loved the adorable signs found at Farm Stands and cute little side-of-the-road shops. In fact, a lot of times I stop at farm stands just to check out their signs.

Recently I came across this big piece of plywood in the scrap pile at the Home Depot that was practically begging to have an ear of corn painted on it. I promptly took it home (then left it in my to-do pile for about a month) and was only too happy to oblige.

So now I have this big 4" tall painting of an ear of corn with some Fresh Prince-esque writing on it and no farm stand to speak of...well, except this one that I painted on a window:

Know anybody with a farm stand who could use some sprucing up? I'd love to paint them some giant pumpkins for the Fall or some big ol' baskets of apples. And I'm willing to trade.

If you know anyone who might be interested have them email me. Thanks!
