Ekster Barn Sale Starts on Friday

Hi Everyone! Our barn sale event will be this weekend - Friday thru Sunday (May 13-15) from 10-5 each day. This could be the best sale yet! There will be FOUR buildings filled with fantastic finds! We found amazing items - both old and new - in Holland and Belgium on our recent trip... plus our signature tables, chairs, cabinets, and more! The farm is gorgeous this time of the year so come on out to shop and enjoy the countryside.

Just a few reminders:

We accept cash and checks only.
Sorry, all sales are final.
If you see something you like AND are sure you want it, pull the tag! If you are not sure, please do not take the tag off so other people get a chance to buy it.
For heavy items, you may need to come back on Saturday or Sunday when we have more help with loading items into your vehicle.
Bring measurements of the spaces you're trying to fill in your home and a tape measure to use when you're shopping.
Ask about delivery services and rates.
Wear boots/comfortable shoes because it might be muddy! Remember this is a farm!
There's a port-a-potty but no restrooms so plan accordingly.
Have fun!
