GypsyMoon Marketplace at Highland Stables

We invite you to join us this weekend at GypsyMoon Marketplace Friday, April 27 from 12pm-8pm with a $10 Admission and Saturday, April 28 from 8am-4pm with $5 Admission. GypsyMoon Marketplace place is a barn sale located at Highland Stables in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

We get the question "what is a barn sale" quite often. A barn sale takes place either on a farm, in or around a barn. It can be described as an upper scale vintage/handmade marketplace. The vendors and artisans are hand selected and screened to ensure that each vendor is top notch. Once they are selected, they spend weeks pickin’, preppin’ and preparin’ for the upcoming sale. They don’t just set up a booth- they design, decorate and stage each stall with eye-catching displays, hoping to draw you in to shop at their creative storefront. Thats what you can expect at GypsyMoon Marketplace located at Highland Stables. GypsyMoon is hosted by the gals of Highland Stables twice a year, once in the Spring and once in November.

3 Tips for GypsyMoon Shoppers

1. LEAVE YOUR PURSE AT HOME:

Bring your wallet, but lugging around an oversized purse or bag while shopping is NEVER fun. Your shoulder will hurt and you’ll have less arm space to carry the new bags of goodies you’ll find. We also suggest bringing your cute crossbody purse. Also, be sure to grab some cash and don’t just rely on plastic. There are some vendors that only accept cash.

2. IF YOU SEE IT & LOVE IT- HURRY UP & GET IT:

If you find a beautiful piece- or treasure as we like to call it- you better get it before someone else does. Our vendors bring and create one-of-a-kind treasures just for YOU!

3. PLAN AND PREPARE

If you're looking to refresh your home, wardrobe, or garden- you'll be coming to the right place. Take pictures of your spaces, have a tape measure on you, and bring some paint samples in order to see if that piece is right for you and your home.

GypsyMoon Essentials List

Your best pickin' outfit- dress accordingly for the weather and remember GypsyMoon Marketplace is a rain or shine event- we will have a great photo ops for you so make sure you are camera ready!
Comfortable walking shoes- With 80+ vendors you will want to be sure you can walk around and see every. single. storefront!
Truck or SUV- If you plan on bringing a group of your girlfriends and buying TONS of goodies, you will need enough space to fit everything and everyone
Reusable Shopping Bag- Your hands will get full quickly so it wouldn't be a bad idea to grab a reusable shopping bag to fill with all of your treasures.
Dolla Dolla Bills Y'all!- Come ready to shop till you drop- be sure to grab your cash and those plastic cards in order to buy those one-of-a-kind items you have been searching for.

Whether you are single, engaged, or married; everyone enjoys looking at pretty things. We were able to collaborate with some amazingly talented vendors for this Valentine's Day shoot and we couldn't have been happier with the end result.

This shoot came to life when we met the Monday night prior to our Friday shoot. It was myself (Whitnee), Cassie Adkins, The Family Affair crew- Alan & Misty. At this time we didn't have anyone who could contribute floral, so we were going to attempt it ourselves. Luckily, Kasey with KB Events & Design came in to save the day and offered to put together the hanging flowers, a bouquet, and a centerpiece. Our lovely couple, The Holtons, were nice enough to model for us and did a beautiful job. Who says that you can't put something magical together in just a few days?? Well, ladies and gentlemen, we did it!

We wanted the look and feel of this shoot to be fun, flirty, and pretty. Our inspiration began with classic Valentine's Day staples- Roses and Sprinkled Sugar Cookies. The simplicity of these items with the tableware and the linens that A Family Affair rentals provided; paired incredibly well together. With the location being at our lovely stables, and the beautiful day it was, we couldn't be happier with the way all the colors looked inside and outside of Highland.

Models: For our lovely model, Rachel, her makeup was done by Devon Rhodes with an enhanced natural look with pink tones on her lips and in her blush. Her hair, fixed by Megan Ethridge, was loosely curled with a braid on the side to add texture and detail. Her gray dress with details of lace was purchased through Amazon. Our handsome male model, Nate, had his hair done by a local barber, Ernie Thomas, and Nate's pink jacket, shirt, and pants were all purchased from the men's clothing supplier, FHG Clothiers.

As wedding vendors, we each love the opportunity to be creative and styled shoots are a wonderful way to do this. We hope you enjoy these photos taken by the talented Cassie Adkins.
