The other weekend Sweet Clover Barn organized a special event, the Hometalk Halloween Hunt, with fellow antique/vintage stores Chartreuse and Co, Lucketts and On a Whim. Bloggers were invited to shop the stores, buy a treasure and then post about the creative thing they did with it.
I'll be joining the link party later in October but I know for certain - even though I found 2 treasures - my use won't be creative. I picked up 2 amazing runners at the Chartreuse and Co barn sale. The Leopard by Stanton is 23" by 96" and was $69 and the 100% Wool Alex Papachristidis Thaleia Diamonds by Langhorne Carpets is 2' 8" by 10' and was $87!
First up at the Halloween Hunt was a visit to Sweet Clover Vintage Barn Sale in Frederick - their tag line is fresh picks * inspired design * uncommon finds. This is the view of the upstairs - the barn is full of great finds.
Very creative cake and dessert stands by Sweet Stands.
Burlap over a support pole - very creative.
Next was a stop at Chartreuse and Co's Barn Sale in Frederick. There's a cool water wheel outside.
If I remember correctly this velvet chair was under $90
Some more of the bound remnants for sale.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to head over to Lucketts and On A Whim (Lucketts/Leesburg) but they're on my list for a future trip. If you're in the area, be sure to check out all their sites and the dates for the upcoming barn sales.

What a score. I would love one of those runners. How fun.
Anyway I can purchase a leopard runner ? Was it a one and only?
Melinda - I only saw the 1 when I was there. However, the vendor has been w/Chartreuse for a while- maybe you can email them to see if there are/will be more.
Here's the link to the vendors:

It is a good thing I didn't get near there!
You really chose some great deals, Michelle.

Great finds, Michele. Those runners were practically free!
Hmmmm ... October 18 is the day after tomorrow and I don't think I have anything going on that day. It's been a couple of years since I have been to Chartreuse, and I have never been to Sweet Clover. I see a road trip in my future.
Love your leopard runner, BTW!
Damn...that was some sale. Looks like my kind of place.
Thanks so much for coming out to visit Sweet Clover! We are already planning another blogger event for the Spring so stay tuned.
