Christmas in the Country Barn Sale and Market Weekend 2018

Christmas in the Country Barn Sale and Market Weekend 2018

It has been a hot minute since I’ve been on the blog. We’ve had a crazy month over here at A Hosting Home! As you may have saw on our Instagram and Instagram Stories, we were at the Christmas in the Country Market this past weekend up in Jefferson, Georgia. For those of you who may not know, the Christmas in the Country Market is a three-day event hosted by H & H Homestead at their barn in Jefferson. I have gone to shop at the market in previous years, so I couldn’t have been more excited when A Hosting Home had the opportunity to showcase our work at a booth at this year’s show!

We had high hopes for our little 10×10 booth. However, some of those hopes were crushed with all the rain that we’ve been having in Georgia lately. It poured rain the week leading up to the event (and it poured rain the first day of the market), so we were unable to bring some of the larger pieces we wanted to display in fear that they’d be ruined in the 2 hour trip up to the market. But, I was super surprised to see how many shoppers showed up in the pouring rain and sloppy mud on that Friday to shop. It turned out exactly how God wanted it to!

A Hosting Home’s Booth

We had our barn doors on display with a lot of smaller products that were a huge hit with all the shoppers over the weekend. From our ornaments and the door tags to the farmhouse signs, everything in our booth was handcrafted and hand painted without the use of stencils or vinyl stickers. Our hearts were so full with all of the compliments from people shopping and walking by our booth. I think that our best sellers were definitely the wood slice ornaments and door tags. I may be a little biased, though, but I was in love with every single product in our booth! It made me smile to see so many people excited to shop for their loved ones.

Despite a rough day on Friday with the rain and mud (and fire ants!), we ended up having a really great and fun weekend. My amazing mother came down from Charlotte to help me with Rob having to work and go back and forth for the dogs. It turned out to be a great girls weekend with my mom. Not to mention, there was a lot bonding over some things we both love – shopping, Christmas, and crafts. Rob and I have always wanted A Hosting Home to be a family business, and it makes my heart so happy to know that it is.

Take a look at the photos below to see our little booth and all we had to offer!

The Market and My Shopping Haul

You didn’t expect me to sit at a booth among 80+ amazing vendors and not shop, did you? The market was full of amazing and gorgeous items that my wallet couldn’t help but cry for. My self-control was better than I could have imagined. I ended up walking away from the market only slightly empty handed. I got those gorgeous gray pressed glass candlesticks and a beautiful chippy white, distressed dough bowl. Unfortunately, I didn’t end up snagging a photo of the dough bowl. But, it will be up on the blog soon with my Christmas centerpiece.

Although I didn’t purchase a lot at this year’s market, I came home with so much Christmas inspiration. I couldn’t wait to start decorating! All of the booths were absolutely amazing, but walking through the H & H Homestead barn felt like a little kid walking through a candy store. One of my favorite things was their mauve Christmas tree. My mom is doing a mauve and gold tree this year in their living room, and this little preview gave me all the heart eyes!

Till Next Time!

All-in-all, it was such a great weekend at the Christmas in the Country Market this past weekend. We can’t wait for more market weekends to come in the future. I’m so thankful for each and every person that shopped with us. I’m also so thankful for all of our blog and Instagram friends that stopped by to say hello! My heart is so incredibly full. God is so great to this little business of ours.

Meanwhile, I also can’t wait to get our online shop up and running hopefully very soon. In the meantime, take a look at the photos I shared in this blog post to see our little booth and all we had to offer! See something you love? Send us an email at hello@ahostinghome.com to place an order. A lot of items are ready to ship! We’d love to help you get ready for the upcoming holiday season.

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

But really, I’ve been using the same battery charge for a couple weeks now on vacuuming the downstairs of our house — and with two kids and two dogs, I do a quick vacuum every single day (sometimes multiple times a day!) The best part? Can rotate and charge with all our other Dewalt tool batteries.

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
