ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ShoPPing - BROWN COUNTY, INDIANA...

Wisteria... Dogwood... Red Bud...

ALL A BLOOM - In Brown County, Indiana - this past Easter/Spring HoLiDay Weekend!*!*!

Along with some very unexpected FaB ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ShoPPing!*!*!

(click on pics to enlarge...)

OMG!*!*!  

Planning a short Springtime get-away, we headed toward BROWN COUNTY, INDIANA, where we knew it would be warm & the Springtime blossoms in bloom...  Not expecting to do much antiquing, if any, -(R*E*A*L*L*Y)... We took Jeff's smaller-sized VW Vehicle...  After the fact, - I could have easily filled up a good portion of MY SHABBBY VAN at this unexpected stop -
 Plum Creek Antiques, in Bean Blossom, Indiana!*!*!

We were lured in by the many 
antique/vintage items,
that could be seen overflowing from the large
GaRaGe Doors - along with this funky old Delivery
Truck...  We just had to SEE MORE...

  

THEN PAULETTE PULLED UP
In this Mobile!!! ~ YES it Runs!!!
I believe Paulette & Husband Paul own this
Shop - but for sure work here... 

This was a "Killer Piece" 

Paulette told us about a Cafe/Antiques/Greenhouse 

only 3 miles down the road...  Sooooooo Glad she did!*!*!

** THE FARMHOUSE **

The Wisteria Tree was in full bloom...
We had The BeSt Peach/Blueberry Pie!*!*!

As we gazed around while eating our dessert,

 this PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy ViNtaGe Mirror 

- kept calling out to me...

Although it had NO PRICE TAG, 

it still went home with me!*!*!

Lots of Antiques and Vintage Finds were For SaLe

 just across the parking lot from the Cafe,

 in a huge barn...

The Greenhouse Area had some of the 

healthiest Rosemary Plants I've ever seen...

The **SHaBBiest House** In-The-County...

I bet it was a beauty in it's early days...

(be sure to enlarge THIS ONE...)

The Story Inn - Such a welcoming sight...

Located in the - middle of no where...

Winding Roads... Lots of Rolling Hills...

Homes with time-worn Metal Roofs...

All dotted the GoRgeOuS Country Side...

The Beautiful White Dogwood Blossoms
Welcoming S*P*R*I*N*G as they Dotted the landscape...
