D*A*Y T*R*I*P
I took off early Friday Morning, in search of SHaBBies
along the Back Roads of Wisconsin...
~ My FaVoRiTe Stop ~
~ BACK PORCH GATHERINGS in Ripon - Wisconsin ~
a **MUST VISIT** ViNtaGe SHaBBy-SHoP!!!
A Hint of S*P*R*I*N*G
was definitely in the air with ViNtAge Garden Items...
The pleasure was all mine - meeting TAMMY, the owner of
BACK PORCH GATHERINGS in Berlin, WI...
Not only is Tammy a "well-seasoned" vintage dealer,
she also has a keen eye for display...
I sooo enjoyed chit-chatting with her & experiencing her shop!*!*!
There were some AmaZing Larger-Sized
"Anchor Pieces" in the store - such has this cabinet...
Lot's of "naturally-chippy pieces, vintage garden
& farmhouse style...
To keep up with what sells, like myself, Tammy incorporates
Only A FEW "shabby-painted" pieces of furniture, which
compliment the "time-worn" pieces quite well...
Tammy's Husband, Ernie was helping out
in the shop that day as well...
DO CALL AHEAD if you're driving any distance...
An Occasional Shop ~ open mostly on the weekends...

"2nd Location" in RIPON Wisconin
OMG!*!*!
About 20 Minutes down the road is Tammy's
SECOND LOCATION...
BACK PORCH GATHERINGS & WATER J's
in the town of RIPON, WI
The other half of the Store Name
& WALTER J - is Tammy's Business Partner...
(sorry I forgot her name!!!)
Tammy's Partner has a great eye for
Finding INDUSTRIAL,
and Tammy pops on over to this location to
create the displays...
Is this a *KILLER-CHIPPY-WHITE BACKDROP -Or- What!!!
Appears to be an old garage door!*!*!
Although this location does not have much
W*H*I*T*E,
The whites that they do have are fabulous, - again
along with "just a few" more recenlty shabby-painted ones...
Even though this was quite a trek for me from Cedarburg, Wisconsin,
I'll definintely make a point to RE-VISIT!!!
WELL WORTH THE DRIVE
IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE, with quite a few "OTHER"
Shabby Shops & Occasional Stores/Barn Sales in the area...

I was also just at both of these shops for the "Shop Hop" in March. There were like over 200 shops participating I had never been to Ripon or Berlin so we started down there. Both shops are awesome! Cute quilt shop in Ripon too!
ReplyDeleteOh, these two shops look inviting. I'd love to make a road trip up your way sometime. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
