SHaBBy ShoPPing INDIANA-OHIO Weekend!*!*!

OMG!*!*! Did Frog Husband & I ever put on the RoAd MiLeS in just a few short days!*!*!  

OVER ELEVEN HUNDRED MILES TO BE EXACT!!!

  I REALLY can't believe what we packed-in starting out VERY EARLY Thursday Morning and arriving HOME VERY LATE Saturday Nite...

Some SHaBBy-ShoPPing F*I*N*D*S from this

 past weekend's Indiana/Ohio Road Trip...

*** INDIANA***

As we're barreling down the highway in Indiana on Thursday Morning, I see the Exit Sign coming up ~ "Mishawaka"...  I remembered Anita, from the Iowa Junk Gypsies doing a  recent post on the MISHAWAKA ANTIQUE MALL & Joe & Sandy of RHUBARB REIGN - having a booth space in that Mall...  Soooooo - WE STOPPED & FOUND IT!*!*!

Biggest S*U*R*P*R*I*S*E

 We had to wait till it opened - AND when it did - to my surprise, as the owner unlocked the door with a big smile, I was greeted with **IT'S ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! - OMG!*!*!  As it turns out, GLENDA reads my Blog & when she had one - (Junkin In My Pink Cadillac) I read hers!!!  Unfortunately the shop keeps her sooooo busy - so there isn't much time for blogging these days... I would highly recommend stopping at this Antique Store!!!  FaB mix of Architectural SaLVage, SHaBBies, & Industrial to name a few...  AND it's not that far off the interstate...

 AwEsoMe PeRfeCTLy ChiPPy... Crusty... Rusty... details...

I think this was probably a "Compote-Holder"

 of sort, supporting a Glass Bowl in the the top leaf area...  

It's a KEEPER for now...

SHaBBy ShoPPing KANE COUNTY FLEA - St. Charles, Illinois...

I shopped the Market BOTH Saturday & Sunday - 

Sooo glad I did!!!  This Row had lots of ViNtaGe Finds...

Do click on pics to enlarge details...

 These dealers L*O*V*E time~worn ViNtaGe!*!*!

 Every time I passed her booth - a different

 "PLANTER" was in this same spot!!!

 You snooze...

You loose...

I thought tooooo long about buying the FaB White Vintage Tub...

  They make such great pieces for backyard parties filled with ice & beverages... 

AND this was ChiPPy W*H*I*T*E with a bit different form...

 Judy, of the Iowa Junk Gypsies was selling "solo" on Saturday...  

Without thinking twice, I Snagged this darling ViNtaGe Concrete BirDie Sculpture...

  This one most certainly will be a *Keeper* for a long... long... time!*!*!  It has FaB age crackling in the Old-White-Paint...

 This booth was a SHaBBy-White-Out,with more recently painted items...  

The beautiful displays really drew you in!!!

 ALMOST bought it...

It was in the toooo chippy category, and I wasn't sure how stable the crack was...

I spotted this PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy galvanized bucket "in someone else's cart"...  I was just C*R*A*Z*E*D OVER IT!!!  Sooooo I offered the woman double what she paid for it...  And let me tell you, - it was quite a hefty number...

 Sad to Say - it went home with HER...

Do check back later in the week to SEE

 My Top 4 "Keeper F*I*N*D*S"

WHITE WEDNESDAY ~ ViNtaGe Watering Can with OLD WHITE PAINT!*!*!

A few weeks ago I attended the CHICAGO BOTANICAL ANTIQUE GARDEN SHOW, in Glencoe, Illinois...  Although this an EXTREMELY High-End Show, it's FaB Eye-Candy, and I've been known to bring home a ViNtaGe F*I*N*D within my means...

 I just couldn't resist this Naturally Time~Worn

W*H*I*T*E ViNtaGe WATERING CAN!*!*!

Just FaB Size for watering my house plants...

 The dealer had no idea if it was American or European...

I did some research...  CASANA is "Italian" - 

HOWEVER - It is a "Swiss-Made" Watering Can...

 Love the Long extended pouring spout...

 G*R*E*A*T   FORM!*!*!
