Have you heard about Bella Rustica near Pulaski, TN?
It’s next weekend (Sept. 28-30) out in the country on a beautiful farm and it’s a vintage barn marketplace. You know what that means? A junker’s paradise of antiques and collectibles.
The farm was built in the 1930’s by Frank Mars, of Milky Way and Snickers candy bar fame. How cool is that?
I’m meeting up with some of my blog friends for the weekend and I can’t wait to check it out.
These ladies, all friends of mine, will all be there too and we are planning some fun times and possibly a panel on using vintage finds in your home. Donna from Funky June Interiors will be there all the way from Canada and she’s sharing her great junking workshops all during the weekend.
If you live nearby, you might want to check it out. Would love to see you there if you’re planning to go! Proceeds will go towards a very worthy charity, Agape Ministries, for children and family services.
Let me know if you might be going, would love to see you there!
A good friend of mine grew up in this area and he keeps telling me we have to go and see that farm!! I am heading to Georgia next weekend to visit my parents or I would love to drive up there. Looking forward to hearing about your adventure there.
Rhoda,
I soooo wish I could make this trip, but my daughter is coming home for the weekend. Looking forward to seeing pics from all of you lucky ones.
Blessings,
Linda
I will be there on Friday shopping with my sis-in-law! So excited you will be there!!!! Hope I see you around!!!
Stacey, please come and say hello! Hopefully it won’t be so big that you can’t find me.
Sounds like fun. Especially since I got the go ahead tonight to start looking for a vintage piece as our new entertainment center in the living room.
That looks like a great group of ladies for a great day of fun. Enjoy and I look forward to the recap! Take care, Laura
I live in Nashville…I little north of Pulaski…do you have more information? Sounds wonderful…like a perfect fall weekend adventure for my mother and myself. Plus, get to meet some wonderful bloggers as well! Are you all doing presentations?
I am VERY familiar with AGAPE, and yes, they are one of the most worthwhile charities I know!!!
I hope I am able to make it down there!

Hi, Erin, please click the Bella Rustica link in my post to go to their website. That’s as much as I know! I’m showing up and hanging out with some friends and yes, there will be some panel presentations by Donna/Funky Junk, as well as a group one that will be winging it, but fun.
Oh I will be in Boone next weekend for family weekend at App State, I wonder how far Pulaski is from there? You just may see me there, my friend!!
Bummer, it’s 7 hours from Boone. Guess I won’t be seeing you after all 🙁
Hi, Leen, oh I was looking forward to meeting you, that is a bummer!
I’ll see you at the Southern Bloggers Conference in October 🙂
I think this place is going on my bucket list! Sounds wonderful, and I bet you’re excited to finally be in a position to be able to buy something for your new home! How fun is that?!
Rhoda, I plan to be there, probably Friday. What day are you going, or do you plan to make a weekend of it?
Cyndia, I’ll be there Friday a.m. and Sat. and probably will stay over until Sunday a.m.
Well, I wish I were in the area! I’d love to hear from all of you how to incorporated my thrifted vintage finds into my home decor. I have a home, and plenty of vintage finds, but I don’t have the knack some people do with knick-knacks. Too often, it looks like clutter. Maybe the lesson, is that less is more! Well, I’m looking forward to seeing what you have to share from this weekend.
You and Donna in the same place – SO wish I could be there!
Rhoda, you will love the Milky Way Farm! I live in North Alabama, Limestone County which neighbors Pulaski, Giles County, TN. I might have to mosey on up there and meet you 🙂 Sounds like lots of fun!
Rhoda,
I’m coming Friday with my friend Karen and we hope to be there at 10 when they open. I’ve been following you since 2005 when I lived in Virginia. Now I’m in Huntsville and its only an hour away. I’m so excited to get to meet you!!! Candy M.
A friend of mine from SoIL will be a vendor there…JunkyJo’s Secondhand Cottage. I hope you get to see her! Blessings!
Rhoda!
I have read your blog for at least three years and I am so excited to meet you at Bella Rustica !!
See ya next week…….
Georgia
My daughter and son-in-law and I will be there – I can’t believe there actually is something so close (Huntsville). Hope we get to meet you!
Rhoda, I am so excited about Bella Rustica! I have been planning on going ever since I heard about it. I only live an hour away in Decatur so I have no excuse not to go! I’ve been following your blog for several years. It will be so great to finally meet you in person. Look forward to seeing you there!
