B*E*S*T ~*Keeper FiNds*~ from-the-flea...

I rarely have much time to Shop-The-Flea when I'm setting up to sell...Such was the case a few weekends ago at The Elkhorn Flea in Wisconsin!  HOWEVER ~ I had about 20 minutes before the gates opened to the public &,"luck was on my side"!*!*!  
This RARELY Happens!!!

Since we're STILL HOUSE HUNTING,
and we have "4-Fully Stuffed SToRaGe UniTs"
 **I'm on what you would say **Buying-Restriction**
2-Items were my limit, & they needed to be somewhat small...
THERE IT WAS - PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy
 Vintage French Gathering Basket!!! 
Just LoVed it's Naturally Acquired Crude Time-Worn PaTiNa!!!
One-Of-A-Kind ViNtaGe
Just the way I like it!!! 

Item #2 Keeper-Find!*!*!
~** LoVe At First Sight **~
Stopped Dead in my Tracks!!!
Pitter... Patter... ~ My Heart Be Still!*!*!
BeSt-Ever, PeRfeCtLy Crusty... Rusty... Natural Time-Worn PaTiNa!!!
~*ViNtaGe SCaLe*~
•LoVed it's nice smaller manageable size...
•LoVed that one weight surface was round, - the other square...

 *LoVed that it still retained it's original glass in it's round top area...
*LoVed it's Original Mfg. Labels...

•LoVed that the backside had a brass weight measure bar with hanging ball weight...
•AND - The Natural PaTiNa couldn't have been any better...

 *The BeSt Day*

It's been quite a while since I've ventured out for the entire day and

 "Nearly" filled the van with one great find after another!!!!!!!

 

ON-THE-ROAD early Friday Morning...

It was such a joy to be "Out & About" on a warm sunny day!!!

All the small towns in Illinois were aglow with Spring Blossoms!!! 

1st Stop - A Small Vintage Garden Show, in the quaint town

 of Sycamore, Illinois...

Such a lovely setting for this small event held at Blumen Gardens...

This Show most definitely "cycles"...  Some years I find shabbies,

 other years I walk away empty-handed...

 with a coat of clear urethane,

 before I use it in the bathroom...

The rest of the day was spent meandering some back roads of Illinois, hitting a couple BARN SALES,  - and then visiting some Small Shops, & Antique Stores...

 NO, I didn't buy this porch canopy,

but thought it was fun to look at!!!

I didn't buy a lot of "LARGE ITEMS"
