**28 Hour VaCaTiOn** ~ DOOR COUNTY, WISCONSIN!*!*!

My husband, Jeff REALLY needed a get-away from ALL The Crazies in the last month with "2 of my SaLes" - back to back!*!*!  All we could squeeze in was "28 Hours" of a get-away to Our FaVoRite place - DOOR COUNTY, WISCONSIN, located on a peninsula ~ about 2-1/2 hours North of us!!!  - As you'll see from the pics, IT WAS WELL WORTH IT!*!*!  I didn't realize how much I needed to "take a break of sort" from my "Shabbies"!!!  PART ONE-OF-TWO...  (click to enlarge pics for better detail)

 It stays light in Door County till about 9:30 - 10:00 in the summer months...  We got to our cozy lodging facility just before dark (I had to work all day Friday)...  We LoVe Lodging here!!!  The room looked sooooo inviting when we pulled up!!!

We woke up to this view ~ the Bay in Ephraim, Wisconsin...  A bit over-cast & slightly foggy - but warm...

We needed to venture out EARLY - for a GREAT CUP OF COFFEE!!!  This was one of the sites we saw enroute on foot to LeRoy's Coffee House...

We encountered a TURTLE laying eggs in the sand...

LeRoy's has the BeST Coffee on the Peninsula!*!*!

Sooooooo CoZy!!!

LeRoy's is carrying a New Brand of Coffee since the last time we were up there...  I LOVED IT'S TASTE!!!

Here I am outside this quaint UpNorth Coffee House...

Jeff snapped this pic of the bird as we walked back to The Lodgings on Pioneer Lane...

The White Gull Inn, in Fish Creek, has THE BEST BREAKFAST ON THE PENINSULA!*!*!  Always consistent...

BeSt Cherry Pancakes on the planet!*!*!

One of my favorite stores to shop in ~ Fred & Co., Fish Creek Wisconsin...

I almost always find something in this darling gem of a store!!!  If I'm lucky enough, Terry, the owner, once in a blue moon, will bring her "Himalayan Cat" - Everest, up to the shop for "pet 'n purrrrrr"...

We turned down a road we had never been....  What a view!!!!!  We probably would have seen the lake had it not been for the fog that day...

We wandered down a "dead-end" road and were pleasantly surprised to see this Iron Crow & Signage...

Check back in the next few days ~ Antique Stops & a Favorite Store in Sister Bay *** Viva la Cottage ***

MORE on this~that~and the other, from this past Sunday's Flea Market in Cedarburg Wisconsin!*!*! 

Before ALL of my Shows/SaLes - I usually "go-through-house" & pull things off the walls, take things out of cupboards, & on occasion, grab a chandelier or two...  YES, this was one of my favorites that was hanging in my "garden loft" for many a year!!!  It was the most darling petite-sized chandelier ~ just glistening with prisms... 

This Table is "PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy!!! ~ Unfortunately it did not sell...

Janice is one of my "Top FaVoRiTe Sellers from Kane & Grayslake"...  These ladies ventured out to the country ~ setting up just one booth down from me!!!  Denise has a shop in Geneva, Illinois ~ Denise's Home Adornments and Vintage Finds...

These Ladies are "professional shoppers"!!!  Look at those AwEsoMe Tall Doors they snatched up!!!  It really helped sales having "2" SHaBBy Booths so close together!!!  and it was fun chit-chatting throughout the day...

OMG!*!*!  The girls couldn't pack another thing in at the end of the day!!!

Even the roof rack was utilized!!!  ~ YES, they made it back to Illinois safe and sound...

Last Weekend's MAXWELL STREET FLEA MARKET - Cedarburg WI

 I love OUTDOOR BOOTHS!*!*!   There's just a certain look you get with white tents & nature's backdrop!!!  Well, let me tell you, the weather could not have been any better!!! ~ mostly sunny with minimum wind...  WIND is ALWAYS a factor!  The HEAT came upon us around 10:30 a.m. - and HOT-HOT-HOT it was!!!  I honestly can't believe I pulled it all together so quickly after my HUGE SaLe the weekend before...  My husband, Jeff was such a BIG HELP! ~ Thanks for hanging in there Honey!!!  This is PART-ONE of Cedarburg's Flea Market this past Sunday...  (CLICK ON PICS TO ENLARGE)

 Here I am with Kathy the morning of the Flea Market before the public was let in.  This is "DAN'S BOOTH"...  Dan has ThE BeSt STuFF!*!*!  Kathy's Booth is right next to his ~ so she "grabs all the awesome shabby stuff right away"...

 I did a bit of shopping before I untarped my booth...

What will the day bring???  I only sell at the MAY MAXWELL STREET...

I was very happy with the way "this year's" layout came out...

I'm trying to take more pics of customers in my booth ~ I enjoy seeing them after...  JUST LOOK AT THOSE FUN POLKA-DOT BAGS!!!  The Ladies told me they got them at the Market...

Late in the day I was able to sneak over to Mariann's Booth!!!  This Lady is at EVERY FLEA MARKET in the U.S.!!!  I'll see her next at the Northwind Perennial Farm Antique Garden Show, just outside of Lake Geneva June 11th & 12th ~ We both have booths there...

AwEsoMe Find!!!  This Lady bought my "ViNtaGe ROLLER RINK Carrying Case" from Waukesha, Wisconsin... GREAT FIND!!!

Here's "Smitty & Katherine" late in the afternoon...  As you can see, "Looks like they had a GREAT DAY"!*!*!  Katherine has a darling shop in the town of Plymouth, Wisconsin.  FIBBER MCGEE'S CLOSET... ~ A mix of New & Vintage...  The store is a must-visit if you're up that way...  

This booth was well organized ~ lots of advertising...

I bought quite a few things out of this booth...

 This seller always has interesting items...  I loved the chandelier fixtures resting on the table...  YES, the bird house went home with me... I think it MAY be a keeper AFTER the newer board surrounds are removed...

As I headed back to my booth to untarp, I saw this truck pulling up...  It sure got my attention!!!  I loved the colors AND those legs popping up!!!  NO, never got to really see what was in there...  CHECK BACK IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO SEE EVEN MORE FLEA MARKET PICS FROM SUNDAY...
