SHaBBy ShoPPing ROAD TRIP in Michigan...

Last Weekend Frog Husband and I started out ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ShoPPing in Sycamore Illinois...  We blew through  Blumen Gardens Annual Antique Show, Made a Pit-Stop at a Barn Sale, & ventured into an Occasional SaLe Shop - "Harvest Lane Vintage"...   We eventually worked our way toward MICHIGAN, with our final destination being

 ALLEGAN FLEA MARKET'S 

 **~ Season Opener ~**

I was quite pleased with the FaB STaSh of

 Natural Time~Worn W*H*I*T*E SHaBBieS 

that filled the Van by Weekend's End...

In the last few months I've been

 SHaBBy-SHoPPing in 4 STATES!*!*!

Minnesota... Wisconsin... Illinois... Michigan...

I*M*P*E*R*F*E*C*T*I*O*N*S

Sooooo Much More Interesting

 Than Brand New!*!*!

 ~ Let's Take a Look ~

•chipped-edge on the vintage frame •vintage bird/nest print   •tattered-edge books •hints of rust on white metal flower holder •shrunk/cracked plaster on scroll-base prop support •time-worn chippy patina on lamp base •natural time worn paint loss patina on table & shutters...

**~ ImPeRfeCtioNs ~**

*Lend so much more character

*One-of-a-kind

*No longer ordinary

Although this sweet little white metal flower holder was probably more recently made in china, it most likely was left outside to the elements - and has now acquired a NATURAL time-worn rusty patina ~ making this item

 MORE INTERESTING, MORE MEMORABLE,

 ONE-OF-A-KIND F*I*N*D... 

NATURALLY Rusty

In-All-The-Right-Places...

Naturally Time~Worn

ViNTaGe BirdBaths!*!*!

S*P*R*I*N*G 

Has Finally Sprung in the Midwest!*!*!

One of my most favorite *joys* is watching

a ROBIN in a BirdBath...

YESTERDAY we mounted the tops back on the BirdBaths...

They just don't make them

 like this anymore!!!

The Robin's LoVe

 the one on the left the most...

  The extremely long... cold... Wisconsin Winter

 produced a fab time-worn chippy paint patina

 on my 2 favorite Old Concrete Birdbaths...

It was such a joy "smelling the earth" 

coming alive as we cleared

 the flower beds...
