The Day After Thanksgiving, we ventured out for a day of "Antiquing" in Illinois... First Stop ~ Roscoe Antique Mall, a little less than 2 hours from our home... This store is a bit upscale with wonderful unique quality vintage/antique items - NO JUNK... As a dealer, I find it hard to buy for re-sale here, with it's higher priced selling tags, but rightfully so... We also hit a few smaller shops as we worked our way over to Ridgefield, Illinois... This bink-of-the-eye downtown is filled with a grouping of antique stores... It has such a quaint old-world feeling... I especially love Country Church Antiques - lots of architectural and shabbies to be found there... The other shop called ANTIQUES, had The BeSt Vintage Garden Display outside - all decked out in Christmas Holiday Trim - sooooo inviting!*!*! We then stopped at Kimball & Bean, a very high-end Vintage/Architectural/Garden Delight!!! They were having their HoLiDay Open House... I did end up netting an awesome chippy Cherub there...
This piece was AwEsoMe!!! Price tag was tooo high for resale, and I didn't love it enough to keep...
This old advertising piece was soooo beautiful... I just love ViNtaGe Birdies!*!*!
This past summer up in Door County, I sold a small industrial cabinet very similar... The patina on this one was amazing...
These vintage place card holders were just stunning...
I love shopping here!!!
Located in Ridgefield, Illinois...
Fabulous Architectural Piece!!!
AwEsoMe Chippy Cherubs...
Does this look inviting or what!*!*!
FaVoRite display of the day...
PeRfeCtly crusty patina...
"Just FaB" ~ The angel in the bowl was the perfect adornment!*!*!
