OMG!*!*!
Planning a short Springtime get-away, we headed toward BROWN COUNTY, INDIANA, where we knew it would be warm & the Springtime blossoms in bloom... Not expecting to do much antiquing, if any, -(R*E*A*L*L*Y)... We took Jeff's smaller-sized VW Vehicle... After the fact, - I could have easily filled up a good portion of MY SHABBBY VAN at this unexpected stop -
Plum Creek Antiques, in Bean Blossom, Indiana!*!*!

As we gazed around while eating our dessert,
this PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy ViNtaGe Mirror
- kept calling out to me...
Although it had NO PRICE TAG,
it still went home with me!*!*!
Lots of Antiques and Vintage Finds were For SaLe
just across the parking lot from the Cafe,
in a huge barn...
The Greenhouse Area had some of the
healthiest Rosemary Plants I've ever seen...
The **SHaBBiest House** In-The-County...
I bet it was a beauty in it's early days...

The Story Inn - Such a welcoming sight...
Located in the - middle of no where...

Looks like a very scenic road trip. Lots of eye candy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a road trip! Wow! I've got to do some serious junkin' sometime soon or bust!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trip! I love traveling the back roads of the country and finding treasures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us with you!
OMG...I'm getting the GPS out right now to figure out how far Brown County, Indiana is from Houston, TX. Those look the stores I love, the flowers are so pretty and isn't it great to discover good little restaurants along the way. I'm adding myself as your latest follower...your blog is awesome. Happy Spring Ya'll!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun pictures! Wish I could do a trip like this! The architectural salvage is the BEST!
ReplyDeleteBrown County is beautiful any time of the year. I grew up in Indiana, and my parents would often take us there on a day trip. I miss living there so much, but my long-time job in Texas keeps me in the Lone Star State. Don't get me wrong, Texas has it's awesomeness too, but there is just something about Indiana that gets into your soul.
ReplyDeletemy cousins live in Columbus..the next town over and I have spent many a day shopping in Nashville! Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you need to start a shabby chippy book of junkin places to go!! You always find the greatest places and the best pieces!! Looks like so much fun!!!
