**Northwind Perennial Farm ~ Wisconsin!!!**

Yesterday's Outing was "just amazing"... Fifty Degrees and sunny in November - "In Wisconsin" ~ YES!*!*! ~ Perfect Day for a back roads drive!*!*! OMG!*!*! Where do I begin???? Ridgefield ... Woodstock... Hebron... Lake Geneva... Burlington... I took over 100 pictures... If I had to pick one favorite stop - it was NORTHWIND PERENNIAL FARM, in Burlington, Wisconsin... This place is "heaven on earth" for me... The whole backdrop of this amazing landscape/garden center is adorned with THE ABSOLUTE BEST - 2-die-4, chippy~shabby~rusty~crusty vintage items!*!*! Colleen has displayed ALL these amazing shabby finds for EVERYONE who comes to the farm to enjoy... There are numerous out buildings along with the main barn... I know I hate NFS - but I totally understand when you have such exceptional vintage items like this!!! For the past 14 years, Northwind hosts an annual "Antique Show" on the grounds - usually in June... I'm planning on having a booth there once again in 2010... It is such a delightful outdoor show with the Ultimate backdrop... (click on pics to enlarge... click on comments to leave feedback...) www.northwindperennialfarm.com
