The grounds were just as beautiful as ever. It was nice to see the birds and dogs strolling about as unofficial, friendly ambassadors. We explored the huge antiques barn with our attached numbered clothes pins, which saved us from having to carry our purchases around. The staff is very astute and kindly takes your purchases to place in a bin with a corresponding number of the clothespin behind the counter. It makes the buying experience so convenient & unburdened. There is so much to see and the staff are so friendly and like to share stories. The owner Marlise is very friendly and engaging. Please read her heartwarming blog on the website to discover the journey it took to get where they are today. She's a great writer! It's a story full of sacrifices, determination, conquering, and perseverance. We then walked out to more vendors outdoors. Many of them were so warm & welcoming. We carried on great conversations with many of them. It was interesting to hear their backstories. All that shopping got us famished and we were in luck that Joselle's Filipino Cuisine food truck was there. We ordered pancit, Bistek, rice, and lumpia. It took a bit but the wait was worth it. So fresh & delicious. Please see my separate review on Joselle's here. There were great bargains to be had both indoors and outdoors. We both spent a pretty penny but it's worth it when you can procure unique gifts from some talented artisans. I always love supporting small businesses. Please take the time to visit the old Betty Crocker estate. I'm posting the schedule; they are opened once a month on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They also offer tours and various classes and offer services like massages.

A friend and I visited on a Friday, knowing there was going to be another storm system coming on Saturday and Sunday (good call!). Scattered clouds made it for a pleasant walk outside checking out some vendors and displayed decor, vintage, antique and modern pieces. There were a couple of drink and food trucks. I did get to try a iced London Fog drink, very delicious! The food truck served Filipino food which I did not get to try. But it smelled delicious. After walking around outside (and purchasing a courting chair within minutes of getting there!) we made our way inside the barn which was furnished with plenty of old and some modern items. The inside is very cramped. I saw a person trying to maneuver a wheelchair at the entrance... I don't think they would be able to enjoy looking through the entire place, a lot of tight corners. So please keep that in mind. I liked how the tables and chairs outside that you can sit at while enjoying a bite or taking a breather is for sale. They are all eclectic. I liked their system of retrieving a letter from a vendor and anything you wanted to purchase they took it and placed it in the section of your letter. You did not have to carry everything around. I would love to come back! This is not a paved ground, nor is the parking area. They only area that is cemented is inside the barn. There are a couple areas that you must watch your footing (they have signs) in the barn as well. Adjacent to the Brick N Barn is the Valley Center Historical Society Site of Historic Interest... the Clark House (1883) Betty Crocker House (1941). Although the home is occupied you can walk on the premises (using your inside voice). There are peacocks (including a white peacock!) turkey's and other birds.

There is no pressure at all. Yesterday, she showed me a necklace I liked and I told her that I needed to ponder on it. I also left a couple of pieces to be repaired.

We showed Patricia and she suggested we have two new ones made and and turn the original cross into a necklace. It was a great suggestion and the price was so reasonable. She shipped us everything within a couple of weeks. Mom was so pleased. Patricia has one many ribbons for her jewelry from the Del Mar Fair and we enjoy seeing them when we visit.
