A Weekend's Worth of ChiPPy-SHaBBy SHoPPing!*!*!

With My Home SaLe now behind me...

It was time to replenish

My ChiPPy-SHaBBy S*T*A*S*H!*!*!

I like to be LOADED WITH FRESH STOCK

for my ChiPPy-SHaBBy SHoPPers

when the Season Begins!!!

 *The BeSt Day*

It's been quite a while since I've ventured out for the entire day and

 "Nearly" filled the van with one great find after another!!!!!!!

 

ON-THE-ROAD early Friday Morning...

It was such a joy to be "Out & About" on a warm sunny day!!!

All the small towns in Illinois were aglow with Spring Blossoms!!! 

1st Stop - A Small Vintage Garden Show, in the quaint town

 of Sycamore, Illinois...

Such a lovely setting for this small event held at Blumen Gardens...

This Show most definitely "cycles"...  Some years I find shabbies,

 other years I walk away empty-handed...

 

 

 BeSt-Ever, Rusty... Crusty... Display Shelf!*!*!

OMG!!!  Netted at the Garden Show,

A definite **Keeper-Find** FOR NOW!!!

Just FaB for a Bathroom!!!

  Rolled -or- Stacked with Towels &

Jars of Bath Salts Etc.  

PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy-SHaBBy PaTiNa!!!

I'll be "Sealing" this FAB natural time-worn patina

 with a coat of clear urethane,

 before I use it in the bathroom...

The rest of the day was spent meandering some back roads of Illinois, hitting a couple BARN SALES,  - and then visiting some Small Shops, & Antique Stores...

 NO, I didn't buy this porch canopy,

but thought it was fun to look at!!!

 These FaB ViNtaGe Birdies 

~**WON-MY-HEART**~

Netted at Winfield Antique Store

**KEEPER-FINDS**

Saturday... Sunday...

Frog Husband and I Shopped MICHIGAN

Sunday was the ALLEGAN FLEA MARKET'S 

SEASON OPENER!!!

Just AwEsoMe Weather!*!*!

 I never realized HOW MUCH I BOUGHT UNTIL

I UN-LOADED THE VAN!*!*!

I didn't buy a lot of "LARGE ITEMS"

so initially my S*T*A*S*H was deceiving...

The *KeePeR-FiNd* List Is Growing!!!

I guess I was tired, & didn't realize how many ~*FaB SHaBBies*~

I actually netted either!!!  This is the most I'm keeping in a long time!!!

Lots of work ahead of me...

Cleaning... Repairing... Tagging...
