Now that Summer is winding down, I've headed back to GRAYSLAKE ANTIQUE MARKET, in Illinois, Selling my ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! F*I*N*D*S HERE -  FALL through WINTER...

  You can't just pull your car up to your booth
 like at outdoor venues...



BeSt Rusty... Crusty... Chippy... STOOL...

It was "bittersweet" to see it go...








Over the years I find myself acquiring
 "Seasonal ViNtaGe Bottles"...
This one says GOLDEN HARVEST...

 The darling crusty... rusty... birdcage,
 with adornments, found a new home...







Here's another "Fall-Themed" Vintage Bottle ~ 
"Wise-Up" with O*W*L Graphics...



 The black tin containers had The BeSt 
natural time-worn PaTina...



 I loved this "Pumpkin CanDeLaBra!*!*!

ChiPPy ARCHITECTURAL SaLVaGe - W*H*I*T*E WEDNESDAY...

Linking-UP with Kathleen's Blog
W*H*I*T*E WEDNESDAY InSpiRaTion!*!*!

 Last Saturday I picked up this FaB Fresh Bittersweet Vine 
@ KANE COUNTY FLEA, in Illinois, from my friend ~Sue~
It was just E*X*C*E*P*T*I*O*N*A*L
YES, you read it right - last Saturday I did a whirlwind
 "Drive & Turn-Around" to Kane and back - 
before setting up at the Cedarburg Flea...
OMG!*!*!



 I found the PeRfeCt Place For It ~
Adorning a ChiPPy-W*H*I*T*E Architectural
 Window Frame in my Office/Loft...
I usually save my "seasonal" displays for the front entry area in our home,  but this AwEsoMe SaLvaGed Piece was just calling for the Bittersweet...








 I filled this larger ViNtaGe Basket with Hydrangeas from our garden...
I just love the "PoP"- Of - Apple Green...



I found this darling "smaller-size" Basket at Kane
 on Saturday,  in Diane Passi's Booth...

Selling *SHaBBies* @ MAXWELL STREET FLEA - Cedarburg, Wisconsin...

 Maxwell Street Flea
 This Labor Day Weekend, 2012...
** FaBuLouS Weather **  


 I'm ready to move-on and put this selling day behind me...
Over the years of both buying and selling AT THIS MARKET, I've  come to realize that having Merchandise that's all tagged/priced... scrubbed clean... glued/repaired... unique/unusual.. & displayed for helpful ideas - *May Not Be Worth It * 
More shoppers than not - were not willing to pay for quality merchandise that was carefully picked and pre-priced...
  I experienced many "low-ballers", who were rude with -
"No Deal" - unless it was a steal...  


 Owl Cloche on "ChiPPy" Architectural Prop Base...




 I just LoVEd this darling little Black Table!*!*!
It SOLD early on...
  Just FaB for a Pumpkin On-The-Porch...




 The Footed Berry Tote On Legs has soooo
 many display possibilities...
SOLD




 Jewelry Nook Area
with "fussy pretties"...




 One of my most interesting customers!!!
She adorned herself with DEER PURCHASES!*!*!




 Orange Locker
First time out ~ SOLD early on...




 Professional Shoppers!!!
They measured before trying to fit in in the car...




Wonderfully ChiPPy
Architectural SaLvaGe...
SOLD

What a Pleasant Surprise!*!*!
California Blogger - Cynthia of Beatnheart, shot me an email early Tuesday Morning ~ and just a few hours later, we met for Coffee - in my neck of the woods - CEDARBURG, WISCONSIN...


Neither of us had met in person before -

We soooo enjoyed Chit-Chat over Coffee at JAVA HOUSE - where, as I've mentioned before - Just Vamp Over that Mirror above the fireplace!*!*!  I'm soooo glad she called, and I was available...  Blogging has changed my life with wonderful experiences such as this...

ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ShoPPing ~ M*I*C*H*I*G*A*N

~** Michigan **~  
R*O*A*D   T*R*I*P
 *E*A*R*L*Y Friday Morning, Frog Husband & I hit the road
 for a 3-Day ShaBBy-ShoPPing Spree in Michigan...
As you can see ~ By Sunday Evening - the SHABBBY VAN
was quite F*U*L*L... 



One of our **Main ShoPPing Stops**
  Neither of us had shopped this Market before...



 I could hardly believe my eyes when I spotted
 this Dealer's Booth!*!*!
OMG!*!*! ~ OMG!*!*!
Jackie definitely had my taste when it comes to a
 "Natural" time-worn chippy patina!!!
I was vamping over her booth for at least a good hour
 while she was setting up ~
and did I ever find the SHaBBies here!!! 




 Yet ANOTHER - OMG!!! ~Just FaB,  Over-The-Top Booth
BUTTER BEANS ANTIQUES...
It was such a pleasure to meet *AMY & BRAD*
Just darling couple and business partners!*!*!
And what "An-Eye" Amy has for SHaBBies!*!*!
I most certainly made quite a haul in their booth!!! 









This pic and the following are SHaBBy SighTinGs from the Market...



















 I was so surprised to SEE Polly Hood's Booth at Allegan!!!
Her darling Husband, was "holding down the fort" - ALL BY HIMSELF,
 while Polly stayed home!!!  He did an incredible job setting
 up the eye-catching displays!*!*!








are regular vendors at ALLEGAN...
Talking with my *Frog Husband*...










 I LoVed ShoPPing this Market!*!*!
NO TUBE SOCKS -or- SPICES HERE!!!
The grounds were just lovely with lots of Shade Trees...
EASY to navigate & make runs to the van..

It reminded me of THE SANDWICH ILLINOIS MARKET - 
Year's Ago, but on a smaller scale...
V*I*N*T*A*G*E Items in abundance!!!
Primitives
Antiques
Industrial 
Shabbies
only wish it wasn't that far of a drive from Wisconsin...
But Jackie & Amy's BOOTH'S Would definitely make it worth the drive!!!
