ViNtaGe INK WELL with BirDie Motif...

 Found the PeRfeCt "Go-With" for my favorite

*1890's* ViNtaGe Ink Well ~ on a visit to Anthro!!!

Have a Great Day!*!*!

*R*E*I*N*D*E*E*R* CrAzY!*!*! ~ This HoLIDay Season...

As I'm in the process of "gettting-it-together" ~  for the HoLiDays, I'm finding out - AFTER-THE-FACT, that I've been drawn to *R*E*I*N*D*E*E*R*S ~ this HoLIDay Season!*!*! - How Fun!!!

My FaVoRiTe part of Celebrating the

 HoLiDay Season is

**WraPPing Beautiful Packages**

with a "hint" of vintage...

These  ViNtaGe Reindeer-Heads, still retaining their "Made-In-Japan" Label, will definitely add a hint of "whimsey" to make a HoLiDay Package Extra-Special...

Glittery ViNtaGe Reindeers

Under a Cloche...

Perfect for the guest bedroom...

It's the REAL DEAL!*!*!

ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! **HoLiDay Tree CoNtaiNerS**

Once NOVEMBER 1st hits, I'm visualizing "Christmas HoLiDaY Decorations"!*!*!  I like to enhance my HoLiDaY Decor with unique ~ "one-of-a-kind" vintage adornments...  NOW is the time to find just that item AT INDOOR Antique / Holiday Shows... 

I snapped this pic "last-year" at ANTHROPOLOGIE...  OMG!*!*! That Cart is just to die-4!!!  I just picked up a "Small Industrial Cart" - perfect Holiday Idea for it - filled with trees or greens...

 I just LoVe these POTTERY BARN TREES!*!*!  The "burlap" adds such a unique touch ~ along with the random hint of pinecones on the fine branches...

This metal tree base is beyond FaBuLouS!*!*!  This is what I'm talking about... A very unique and creative way to re-purpose a metal container...  I snapped this pic last year at the November Grayslake Flea Market...  It may have been in Joan's Booth??? - Anything Goes Here Blog...


  

Here's another FaB Idea from Diane's Booth last year...  Adding a seasonal "Holiday Touch" changes everything this metal basket has to offer!!!

I love mixing in "Old Chippy Doors & Windows" with HoLiDay Decorations"!*!*!  This picture was taken last year at the RED ROOSTER'S "HoLiDay Open House, in Plymouth, Wisconsin...

***

I'll most certainly be ShoPPing this year's RED ROOSTER Holiday Open House - WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3rd!!!

3pm-8pm

Yet another FaB ChiPPy Screen - adorned with HoLiDay Greens at the Red Rooster, last season...

Check back later this week to SEE what ViNtaGe Finds I net at the Rooster's Open House!!!  I'm sure to find something unique in "Julie Miller's Booth" - JunkInJulie Blog...  Hope to SEE some of you there...

***AND please do mark your calendar for GRAYSLAKE FLEA MARKET ON NOVEMBER 13th & 14th ~ Come Shop my ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Booth... (see sidebar for details)

**More ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! UpDates on the Madison WI Shabby ShoPPing**

The Burkhardt's REALLY PACKED-IT-IN!!!  Late in the day on Saturday, we ventured out-of-the-area - to Evansville,  with hopes of shopping Windmill Antiques. Arriving at 4:25 p.m.,their sign read CLOSED...   The lady at the check-out was kind enough to give us "a 10 minute, blink-of-the-eye viewing"...  Shortly after, petal to the metal, we headed to our last stop,  ~ STOUGHTON ANTIQUE MALL with 35 minutes of shopping time to spare...

 

  I love shopping this "girlie" mall of sort...  I almost always come away with a SHaBBy Find!*!*!

The outside of the building is just amazing!!!

Love the seasonal adornment...

 

Side of building next to the parking lot...

"On-The-Hunt" at another Antique Mall, - This little vignette just drew my eye...  LoVed EVERYTHING in it!*!*!  I definitely would have bought the tray ~ but it just wasn't "shabby enough"...

Just FaB CHiPPy!-SHaBBy! ShoPPing Spree!*!*!   I had such a fun day!!! Great Food... SHaBBy Finds... and did I mention a 20 minute stop at Anthropologie ~ AwEsoMe Display at this Madison location...
