Looking Ahead... April really kicks off the warm weather season with an incredible "Eye-Candy" Show at the CHICAGO BOTANIC'S "ANTIQUES & GARDEN FAIR" in Glencoe, Illinois... Mark your calendar for April 16th - 18th... This Unbelievable ~ "Over-The-Top" Antique Event is as good as the Marburger Show in Texas.. The fresh Floral Arrangements in Old Crusty Rusty Urns are just breathtaking!*!*! Dealers from all over the country come to sell... Although most items carry a hefty price tag, if you really look, you may come home with something... AND the Highland Park Anthropologie Store is just a few miles away!!! Over the years I've come away with "7" Exceptional Finds... and still have ALL of them!!! Here are few:
My husband LoVeS Frogs!!! I've never seen one on a Lilly Pad!!! PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy!!!
This "Iron Trellis Fragment" is E X C E P T I O N A L !*!*!

Shabby Concrete Statuary with RoSeS on Top!!!
Chippy!!!
Precious little watering can!*!*!
I love that show- the displays are over the top awesome. The prices are steep but I look at it as more of an inspiration deal rather than a hunt...and when you find a keeper, well, it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a Happy Easter- I am loving your rabbit display.
Jeanine~I feel like I hit the jackpot! I live close to many of the places you mention! Yeah! I love a good lead on great places to shop. Thank you!! Your blog is so unique, I love it!

ReplyDeleteI live just down the road and I've never been there ... sigh
Awesome stuff! Just gotta ask you, are you going to the Junk Market/Art & Arch in Minneapolis May 5-9th? We four junk girls from ND are going - hope to run into you! Andrea
ReplyDeleteI am drooling over your finds. I don't have a favorite. I love them all.
