"BitterSweet Goodbyes" Viva la Cottage Closes it's Doors...

   It's been public knowlege for some time now, that Angie McMahon, Owner of Viva la Cottage ~for some 2 decades now, made the decision to "Close her SHOP Doors for Good"...  This past Saturday was Viva's "Last Hurrah" - CeLeBraTing the closing with a SPaRKliNg Festive

 *~* WiNteR WoNdeRLaNd *~* Holiday Market!*!*!

Here I am with Angie ~ saying our "Bittersweet" Goodbyes Last Saturday...

To Me Viva la Cottage was like a "little Anthropologie" up in the quaint resort town of Sister Bay Wisconsin...  Approaching the STORE'S FRONT DOOR - which was almost always open, you were greeted by a wafting essence of some of the BeSt Specialty Soaps & Lotions...  The soothing color schemes of "Creamy-Whites/Yellow/Beige" along with Angie's Talent for Unique Eye-Catching Displays,

  Magically made you want to buy E*V*E*R*Y*T*H*I*N*G!!!

  Unique Jewelry, Designer Clothing, & Just AwEsoMe ViNtaGe F*I*N*D*S ~ 

"Were Extra Icing ON-THE-CAKE" - For Me!*!*!

 This Year's Winter Wonderland 

was a "SpaRKliNg SHaBBy White-Out"

 I bought sooooo many wonderful ViNtaGe Christmas F*I*N*D*S from Carol!*!*!  ~ I'm keeping them a secret till my First HoLIDAy Show at Grayslake Antique Market on NOVEMBER 10th & 11th at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake, Illinois  (I'll be posting MORE details about the Event as the date gets closer...)

 Carol & Angie 

@ The Check-Out...

 *~* Carol & Angie *~*

Angie could not have asked for a better employee than CAROL!*!*!  

Carol IS-THE-BEST SALES PERSON - EVER!!!

Always greeted you with a Smile, Pleasant Conversation, Helpful, FaB with Re-Arranging/Displays, Great Eye For ViNtaGe!!!  Angie was soooooo lucky to have her!*!*!

With ALL of Angie's Talent, my guess is she's just taking a break ~ WaiTiNg 

 for "Something Else" to Develop...  Until we cross paths - AGAIN...

**DOOR COUNTY** Wisconsin ~ Just for the DaY!*!*!

EARLY Friday morning Frog Husband & I headed "Up-North" to our most favorite place DOOR COUNTY, WISCONSIN...  We are soooo lucky to be only 2-1/2 hours away!*!*!  We did our usual ~ breakfast at the White Gull Inn, in Fish Creek ~ then on to Viva la Cottage's ViNtaGe NeSt HoLiDay Market...

 The NOVEMBER Scenery was just B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L...

 I've always wanted to snap a pic of this sign... TODAY was the day...  LoVe those gorgeous cedar trees...

   Sooooo Door County!*!*!

Although the ViNtaGe HoLiDaY Market hosts just a handful of vendors, the parking lot was quite full, and it most certainly did not disappoint!!!  I came home with some FaB Finds ~ some possibly going to Grayslake Flea  on December 10th & 11th...  (see sidebar for details...)

 I just LoVed this Mug Display!*!*!

 Carol's Booth was the first thing you saw upon entering...

 Angie, owner of Viva la Cottage, ALWAYS does up EVERYTHING "First Class"...

 Just LoVed this Display!*!*!

 ChiPPy SiGhTinG!*!*!

Our last stop was FRED & CO. in Fish Creek...  I was sooooo lucky to get some "pet 'n purrrr" time with my most favorite Himalayan Cat in the world ~ Everest...  It's a RARE occasion to see him at the store...  Thank YOU Terry!!!
