**Last Friday** ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ~ Shops Chicago Botanic Antique Garden Fair!*!*!

Even with my RoadSide SaLe only hours away ~ "LAST FRIDAY" - I just had to visit the CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDENS ANTIQUE FAIR...  The day was cold & dreary - but full of "Springtime Displays" at this ViNtaGe Garden Themed Event...  I even ran into some other bloggers!!!


 Worden Antiques was one of my favorite booths at the show...  We're re-doing an area in our home and this METAL BASKET will look Just FaB on top of an Antique Cabinet...  (pics soon...)




 Sooooo Fun ~ whimsical painted flowers!!!
  FaB Patina...




 I have weakness for time-worn ZINC ARCHITECTURAL FRAGMENTS...  The price was well out of my budget...













 These "Funky Vintage Flower-Like Lamps" drove me over the edge!!!  I can't even begin to tell you how long I looked at them...



 I soooooo wanted to purchase one of these Tole Lamps for my desk at home...  I insanely - strongly considered it for some time...  As expected at this type of "Eye-Candy Show" - they were priced "well beyond my means"... $$$$$




 Enlarge this pic... - BeSt Old Rusty Paint Patina!!!



 SHARON of "Sweet Repose" - I took this one just for YOU!!!



 This booth was in the "more affordable" area...  IT WAS MOBBED!!!   I want to say these people are from Tennessee...  Although everything looked lovely - a good number of items were reproductions, but they did have some "Re-Purposed ViNtaGe" as well...



LoVely lines on this chippy white iron table!!! ~  Loved how they flipped the carrier/tote on it's side for display...



What a welcome sight!!!  These gorgeous flowers - surrounded the "pick-up" area...

  7. Oh how wonderful that the Botanical Gardens hosts an Antique Fair... I love visiting our local Botanical Gardens and I love Antiquercizing so it would be absolutely perfect to have both together like that!!! I see so many things that would have tempted me...

    Have a Blessed Easter... Dawn... The Bohemian
