*Somewhere Over-The-Rainbow* ~ ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! WEEKEND ROAD TRIP!*!*!


It just Amazes Me
"How much Frog Husband & I can Pack-It-All-In,
in such a small window of time"...
 We've ALWAYS been this way!*!*! 

 Our Whirlwind **40-Hour** Weekend started out EARLY Saturday Morning...
About an hour into the drive, we hit some very unexpected MAJOR THUNDERSTORMS!!!
We were rewarded by a "double rainbow" - how appropriate on St. Patrick's Day!*!*!  
Will our destination yield a Pot-Of-Gold????



Saturday Afternoon was spent ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! SHoPPing...
We were able to hit **4** of my FaVoRite Shops in and around the City...
AS FOR PICS ~ between the Thunder, Lightening, Gushing Water & Deep Puddles,
 I just wasn't in the mood...
AND... "Froggie" was Not Happy loading a
 Large Iron Architectural Piece - into the car, during all of this!*!*!




Sunday was a beautiful day - mostly sunny and warm...
EVERYTHING was in bloom, with trees still retaining their blooms -
 even with the intense rains from the day before...



 What a welcome sight!*!*!
Besides these blooms, daffodils, tulips, forsythia, & red bud blooms were out as well ~ JUST GoRgeOuS!!!




  S*U*N*D*A*Y'S
BOTTLE  SHOW
The main reason we made the trip- a yearly Bottle Show...  



 This was a FaB Display of ViNtaGe Seltzer Bottles
 from someone's personal collection...
Even though we were in St. Louis, Missouri, - I would imagine the person whose collection it was - must live in Ohio - with so many of the Seltzer being from there...




 On the way home - Sunday Afternoon,
 I spotted what looked like a FaB JUNKER Stop!*!*!



 Unfortunately, being later on a Sunday, 
- it was already closed...
  I just know I would have found some AwEsoMe SHaBBies!!!




We hit one more "Junker Stop"... 
This was just one of many "Whimsical Buildings" surrounding
 the main Antique Shop/Building...  

Time to "unpack" the car ...
I found ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ViNtaGe Finds
 at EVERY STOP!*!*!
