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...

SECOND LOCATION...

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!!!
