Monday Merchant Circle Featuring The Barn Hollow

Good morning Blogging Friends!

Another Monday and a GORGEOUS one at that! 

I hope your Easter Celebrations were memorable....in a GOOD way!

My children were all here on Saturday and I was in 'Heaven'! I was still a bit under the weather as was our Twirly Girl but I still put a great meal on the table and we had a fabulous time hiding and hunting eggs with the Twins! 

Front Row: Twirly Girl, Tate, and Anna Belle. Back Row: TJ, Sam, Vicky, Cristi, & Becky

Today I'd like to introduce you to a sweetheart and a VERY TALENTED PAFA Team member.....

KIM of THE BARN HOLLOW!

Here's a little interview with Kim and some pics of her wonderful creations!

My name is Kim and my business name is The Barn Hollow. I love old barns, 

the treasures they hold and the history behind their doors. When I found the 

graphics I currently use for my blog and website name just seemed to fit perfectly.

 I have been creating for 30+ years. in the late 80's and early 90's, my business

 name was The Country Cottage. After taking a few years to step away, 

I restarted my business as The Barn Hollow in 2011.

 I am inspired by anything and everything. I seem to get most of my ideas for 

new designs after going"antiquing". There are so many different shapes, 

colors, textures and fabrics that you can't help but be inspired. 
I never leave the house without a sketch book. We make several trips to 

Tennessee to see our grandchildren and for some reason I come up with some 

of my best ideas while tooling down the interstate. I also design quilt blocks,

 and get so many of my ideas for those in nature. Last summer I put in my

 first garden in almost 20 years and designed a set of six blocks all based on

 my garden. 

My creative style is a combination of primitive, country and folk art. 

I love them all and try to create items that will appeal to all of my customers. 

I am however, creating more primitives lately, I just love the simplicity of 

their design.

I create the majority of my items using fabric.  All of my items are hand made 

by me. I am a perfectionist and take extreme pride in everything I make. We 

all work so hard to make a living and hope for that little extra to buy ourselves 

that something special. I strive to make sure that my customers' hard earned 

money is well placed when they purchase something from me and that they
are pleased with their "something special".
