Three French Hens and The Roost closed Sunday April 2nd

     Today is a day of mourning of one of our dear friends and dealers BARBARA WELLS.
     Both Three French Hens and The Roost will be closed to honor our very special friend.
       She brightened our lives with her contagious smile-her abounding energy and her positive attitude.
She and her husband Dan, both in their 70s were ALWAYS the first out to volunteer their time helping to do anything needed to make our stores the best they could be. As two of the first dealers to secure space when we first opened our doors they were always lending a helping hand. I can hear Barbara saying now-"that is what God would want me to do and I am not taking any money for it either"! She was one of God's most beautiful treasures -no question about that. We have countless memories that we will treasure forever. The concrete one that will remain in the store is a sign Barbara had hanging in their booth that reads..."This is not a museum-this junk is for sale". The chuckles that has brought to so many customers will continue to do so as long as we are open. It is a priceless reminder that we will treasure of our sweet Barbara and her sense of humor and life. She was truly one of a kind. Barbara loved life-adored her daughter Renee and her grand kittys and her husband Dan-he was simply everything to her. Their love for each other was so visible is was contagious. Barbara was a people person, a riot to be around. She loved her yard -it was impecable ! And did I mention she was probably 90 lbs soaking wet ! She made us much younger girls look like we were sitting still with her energy and get it done attitude. I know I personally am a much better person because Barbara Wells is my friend and I had the blessing of knowing and loving her .
     Please extend prayers to her husband Dan and her daughter Renee as their hearts heal until the reunite again .

                 



WELLS, Mrs. BarbaraAge 75 of Franklin, TN. Surrounded by family and friends, Barbara Wells was called home on April 1, 2011 after a courageous fight with brain cancer. She is survived by her loving husband, James "Dan" Wells; her loving daughter, Renee Wells and lifelong friends, Rick and Sandra Kline. The family will receive friends from 1-2 p.m. on Sunday, April 3, 2011 which will be followed by a memorial service at 2 p.m. at Williamson Memorial Funeral Home in Franklin. In lieu of flowers the family asked you make a donation to Happy Tales Humane in Franklin, TN in Barbara Wells honor. WILLIAMSON MEMORIAL
 
 

      BARBARA WELLS.....far more than a dealer--a very special friend ! We love you Barbara ! Lookout heaven--here comes a go get her !

BUTTERCUP FESTIVAL

It is that time AGAIN ! The 11th annual

      Buttercup Festival

takes place this Saturday-APRIL 2nd from 10:00am-4:00pm in the historic district of Nolensville.

   Debbie and I have been busy changing the stores all around- merchandising everything outside and attending meetings to offer a fantastic day in Nolensville. The stores will be full-the village will be alive with vendors selling their wares-artisans of all kinds. All those fabulous food vendors that you can only find at festivals-ie grilled corn on the cob-locally made BBQ that sells out by early afternoon-shaved ice, funnel cakes and of coarse fried oreos ! I am dyeing with anxiety.
   Many of historic Nolensvilles landmarks will be open for free tours. The Nolen/McCord home that is being restored by Alfred and Evelyn Bennett will be open for the first time. This home is the foundation of Nolensville. It was the home of the Nolen family of the 1700's that settled and established Nolensville. The beautiful exposed logs inside are a must see. To imagine those logs have been formed as a home since the late 1700's is just astonishing.
   The historical society will have many free activities for kids including getting to meet "Buttercup" the cow-a artificial cow with simulated utters so that children can see what it feels like to milk a real cow. Live goats and possibly other small animals will be there for the kids to see.
    Local entertainers will perform throughout the day including the Elite dancers as well as bluegrass music-all of which is FREE !
    Merchants will have special sales so don't miss out on this wonderful tradition in our great small town.
                 Mention you saw this on the blog and receive 10% off any one item in either Three French Hens or The Roost !
                                 See    Ya'll    SATURDAY !

Back from Market --Back to REALITY !

  So Debbie and I spent four days in Atlanta picking out treasures to compliment our antique and vintage collections. My hat is off to one tough partner I have. Debbie was fighting an upper resperatory bug but thanks to drugs and her strong will we marched on--ALL DAY all four days ! If you have never been to a retail buyers market-it is simply mind boggling-senses overwhelming and lots of people doing the same as you. Even through it all we came back with lots ordered and  hearts filled with the excitement of a New Year. While away both stores did great business so busy we must get. Painted furniture still seems to be the trend and it is going out as fast as we can get it painted.

      Here is a little glimpse into the store now with it changing every day as things come in and others go out-----------oh isn't it so fun !!!

                                                         Loving my life..........

    Just a little glimpse of the hen house-hoping to see you soon.

      Add a comment and we will send you a coupon for CASH to use in the store !

Happy New Year !!!

      The stores are getting a New Year facelift and I wanted to give just a little tease on one of the great new pieces coming in this week.

   Is this Wing Back a statement or what ? ! 

Come see for yourself--it will not last long.

From our shop to your homes...We Wish You A Very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years !

     The anticipation is almost over, only three sleeps left till the Jolly Ole Guy shall come bringing his bag of smiles, giggles and cheer ! For the true meaning of Christmas Debbie and I are grateful and blessed. May you and your family embrace the spirit of Christmas and know OUR gift is YOU ! Thank you for supporting us at Three French Hens. We are excited for the New Year coming and how we can continue to inspire you with our creativity and treasures.
