A big ThAnK YOU!*!*! to ALL of those who came out to yesterday's May 22nd SaLe, here in Cedarburg!!!  I do sooooo appreciate your business...  I gave this SALE my all ~ select vintage merchandise... creative displays...  many an early morning/late night preparation...  THANK YOU's also to my Husband, Jeff - he did a million & one "honey-do's"!!!  - My FaBuLouS "#ONE Check-Out Crew" - can't ThAnK YOU enough!!!  I was happy that I took sooooo many pics!!!  The early shoppers were sooooo focused on "the hunt" & with the place being mobbed (thank goodness) - it was probably hard to take in ALL the Displays ~ Soooo NOW ENJOY PART 1 of 2 pics of yesterday's ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Sale here in Cedarburg, Wisconsin... (FOR GREATER DETAIL,click on any pic to enlarge)

Customers were greeted by my ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Sign & Chair...

We opened promptly @ 7a.m.  I was sooooo pleased to see this many people in line!*!*!  Kathy drove all the way from Michigan, getting up at 3a.m.

 This is what you first saw upon entering the sale area...   Chippy... Crusty... Rusty Vintage Bicycle & Watering Cans, mixed with an Outrageous piece of Bling!!!  The ViNtaGe Bicycle was the Inspiration for my ENTIRE SALE, including the mailing piece that was sent out!!!    The bicycle will be FOR SALE at an upcoming Antique Garden Show - Northwind Perennial Farm - just outside of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (see side bar)...  June 11th & 12th...  This is MY MOST FAVORITE SHOW OF THE YEAR!*!*!  The setting is just spectacular... 

As you rounded the corner into our large garage area, this is what you saw...  I used all my old pieces of "favorite lace" to hang above this "girlie area"...

This is what I enjoyed seeing!!!

JUST MOBBED WITH CUSTOMERS!!!

Here I am writing many a "RED SOLD TAG"!!!

The "holding area" was CrAzY!!!

Wide View of the SaLe... 

Dresser Area...  Everyone wanted to buy MY Window/Door Prop -  "criss-cross" glass, that I got at the Marburger Show in Texas just last Fall!!!  I bought them from John & Peg of "French Vanilla"...  Check Out Their Blog!!!

This area was a bit more "1950's, kitchy-retro"...

 The Old "2-Piece Pedestal Sink" was a big hit!!!  The buyer will be picking it up later this week...  I thought it would make a great display piece in a store where soaps were sold...

I loved this vignette...  I hooked this square, flat-backed birdcage on an old wooden board w/hooks...

 "ReUpHolSter Rescue"...  Tattered Chair ~ with butterflies!!!  The ViNtaGe Wedding Shoes went right away...

I had a "Sea-Side" Area that included a Lobster Vignette tucked in the background...

Lots of old glass bottles in a bucket of sand... 

Hanging lantern area...

Lamps... Architectural Salvage... Mirrors... Little fussies...

This was one of the pretties shabby mirrors with a beautiful ornate crown top...

This area had Such Impact!!!  The old lace was just fabulous!*!*!  I was soooo sad to see the FABULOUS RUFFLED ORANGE UMBRELLA - Sell, but it served it's purpose for an eye-catching display...

Please do check back in the next day or so to see PART-TWO of My ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Sale Pics...  Your comments/Suggestions, are much appreciated either at the end of this blog -or- email me!*!*!

Again... My most sincere THANKS TO ALL OF YOU that participated!!!
