We had a wonderful time just us girls ~

The Antique market was so worth the trip!!!

Let's hit the road and see what its all about ~

Going through Chicago ~ The skyline

We saw a bad accident ~ UPS truck lost control ~ Thank God nobody got hurt.

The traffic was backed upped for miles and I mean miles!!!

We were so glad we weren't going that way.

On Friday we stayed at the Patchwork Quilt Bed & Breakfast in Middlebury Indiana

They had a beautiful barn  ~ where you can have your wedding ceremony.

They were going to have one on Sat. ~ oh I wish I could of stayed.

Loved the outhouse ~ such a perfect touch!

This fireplace was grand!!!

We stopped at the Old Creamery Antiques ~ Middlebury Indiana

We found a few treasures!

Went for a walk in a beautiful park ~ Middlebury Indiana

Saturday we headed to Shipshewana to the Antique Market

Old tools and such ~

My daughter liked this straw stuffed pig ~ around the $200 range.

I thought this was unique!

Be still my heart!

Butter Churn ~

and shops

You could even ~

go for a buggy ride!

Oh I wished I could stay  ~ but I'll be back another day!!!

Sunday we headed to St. Joseph near Benton Harbor MI

We attended Antiques on the Bluff

We were a little disappointed in this show 

it has been better in the past.

But I did see this

I would put it on my new garden shed!!!

It was only ~ $668.00

After the show we headed towards home

and

stopped at the Coachman Antique Mall 

Yep ~ we found a few more treasures to add to our stash!

This is what the van looked liked before we shopped

After shopping we had to take everything out of the van and rearrange a bit!

I think we did good!!!

I'm tired lets get home shall we ~

Traffic was horrible at times we were only going 15 mph.

Yuk!!!

Now for the good part ~
