**ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ShoPPing** ~ IN-MY-NEW-RIDE!*!*!

    For quite some time now I've had my heart set on a "ViNtaGe VW Vangon" to haul around my ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ViNtaGe Finds...  I visualized this white vintage beauty adorned with funky graphics of chandeliers... & chairs...   My Cousin was willing to make my dream come true by selling me just such a vehicle - her "much-loved"  - Mint Condition, VW Van...
   After much serious consideration, with today's safety standards and the powerful get-up-and-go needed for a "Full-Load", we opted for Dodge Caravan's "Cargo-Style" Vehicle...  We left the dealership at 9 p.m. Thursday Night - and I was already on the road by 5 a.m. - headed for a "ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!" ShoPPing Weekend!*!*! 

 My First Love - ViNtaGe VW Vanagon...



 My New Ride...
No Back Seats ~ CaRGo Van Style with comforts!!!
25 Miles per gallon on the highway - I'll live with that...



 I spent the weekend SHaBBy-ShoPPing with my Best Friend, Terry...  We first hit GARDEN GATE TO SPRING ANTIQUE SHOW @ Blumen Gardens...







Even though we got there only minutes after the show opened, ALL THESE FABULOUS URNS had S*O*L*D TAGS ON THEM ALREADY!!!
 Do visit Jamie's Blog Site:  Hollyhock Garden Antiques...



 I loved this plant stand!!!



 Is this an AwEsoMe Corbel or what!!!  ~ The adornment was just perfect...



We spent the rest of the day ShoPPing Antique Stores & hitting many Yard Sales in and around the area...



  No Stopping me NOW!*!*! ~ 
Lot's of Room Still Left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. Woohoo! I'm so jealous! It's funny, too that my dream ride for junking is a vintage VW van, but I'd be perfectly happy with a cargo van. Not even a nice, souped up one, but just a delivery type would be fine with me. What kind of mileage does yours get? I research the Ford cargo vans and they were horrible. Just HORRIBLE!
    (Tried to get my husband to ask about a delivery van a business was selling for $3000, but he was convinced if it was any good one of the guys who worked there would have snapped it up, so he wouldn't even go ask.)

  12. Congrats on you new wheels. You'll love it. I have a Caravan and it's a real work horse. I took my seats out and there hasn't been anything that I bought that didn't fit in there. You'll be able to take so much more stuff to your next show. Good luck with it and see you at Nada Farms.

  13. Your car totally fits your needs! I can see how addicted you are in shopping great finds! What was the largest thing you put in there? A closet maybe?
