It's been a while

and I've been extremely busy!

I just can't seem to find the time to do every thing I want to do ~ so sadly blogging is at the bottom of my list. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th and you got to spend some time with family & friends.

Recently I attended the Elkorn Flea Market ~ one of favorite places to find treasures and bump into friends ~ Karen it was so nice seeing you!!!

Here's some of the treasures that came home with me!

Cigar box, small butter crock, candy container & vintage photo

bought this beauty for my bathroom

Hopefully it works or I'll resell at the shop!

I thought this was a unique find

meat price tags in original box from the 1920's

"Love"

Love to find jugs at a great price!

cigar humidor

fun stuff!

baskets & berry pails!

It wouldn't be any fun if you didn't bring home at least 1 child's chair!

Tomorrow I'm heading to Illinois to go treasure hunting ~ we'll finish up our stay on Saturday after attending the Sweet Annies Primitive show in Bishop Hill. 

Is anybody else attending the show???

It's been nice chatting with you all!

I'll be back again ~ hopefully to show more treasures and tell you about the show!

Until Next Time

Do what you LOVE!

Many Blessings

A Fun Filled Day!

Saturday two of my favorite treasure hunters (Jenny & Niki) and I attended the 40th Winter Wisconsin Antiques Dealers Association Show at the Waukesha County Expo Center in Waukesha WI.

It truly was a wonderful show and we saw so many wonderful collections that the dealers were showing and selling of course.  

It was fun to talk to some of the dealers and learn more about the pieces they were selling!

I tried to take some pictures to give you some idea what was being offered at the show.

This booth carried a wonderful assortment of vintage dolls

and vintage books/vintage games that had the most beautiful graphics on them.

A wonderful piece to add to your primitive collection!

Saw a lot of chocolate molds and vintage cookie cutters.

Victorian shoes!!!

We saw a lot of these stacked boxes with some beautiful graphics on them.

Collections of vintage Halloween pieces.
