OMG!*!*! ILLINOIS AnTiQuE Weekend~BATAVIA & ST. CHARLES!!!

It all started around 4:30 a.m. this PAST Friday Morning...  I headed out toward St. Charles Illinois for a "whirlwind weekend" visiting my Best Friend, Terry...  It's going to take a few days of blogging to JUST COVER THE HIGHLIGHTS!!!  We packed it in!!!  Batavia Whole Town GaRaGe Sale...  Sycamore Antique Garden Show... Working @ Daddio's Diner... and "2" days at Kane County Flea Market ~ Best-Ever Finds!!!

This sign got me CraZed!!!


Terry & Myself making a haul to her van...


TEXAS GALS ~ "Start Drooling"!*!*!  YES, the sign did indeed say FREE!!!  I remember seeing a couple of "Blue Couch" pics from the last Warrenton Show...  


The town of Batavia Illinois is sooooo quaint!!!  This house was a bit "over-grown" - but needless to say, it had it's charm...  Look at all that architectural salvage!!!


Front of the same house...


What a FaB Piece of "Bling"!*!*!


Is This Precious or what????  The lemonade was actually delicious!!!


OMG!*!*!  I had the surprise of my life at this SaLe!!!  I'm shopping in the garage area, and the Host of the SaLe says to me ~ "are you ChiPPy-SHaBBy"???  OMG!!! ~ Jen reads my Blog!!!  ~ Small World...  They say that every sixth person you meet, there is some connection... 


I made some great finds at this stop!!!  ~ Angel Wall Sconce and some rusty plant hangers... ~ and this was our second day of shopping the Town Sale... ~ YES, we did it again - before going to Kane on Saturday...  Check back tomorrow for the SYCAMORE GARDEN SHOW PICS...
