What to do this weekend

This weekend there are a couple of venues to check out for great antique and vintage finds. 

We will be joining in at The Arboretum of South Barrington's Antiques and Garden Market.  We did this venue a few years ago and loved it.  We have been waiting for a chance to do it again and we have lucked out this weekend!  So we hope you can join us on Sunday, June 23rd. It starts at 10am and goes till 4pm.  Rain or Shine!  It is located at 100 W. Higgins Road in South Barrington.

But, if you can't wait till Sunday, check out Northwind Perennial Farm's 17th Annual Antique and Garden Sale in Burlington Wisconsin.  It is truly one of my favorite places to visit.  I love the beautiful ride up alone, not to mention the century old farm and nursery it is held at. The grounds are gorgeous, inspiring and always filled with perennials for purchase.

The sale is Friday and Saturday June 21st and 22nd, and is from 9am - 5pm both days.  It is located at 7047 Hospital Road in Burlington Wisconsin.  But don't wear yourself out!  We still want to see you on Sunday at the Arboretum. 

Arboretum Antique Market

We had another sucessful day on Sunday at the Arboretum in South Barrington.  It was a very hot and windy day.  There were tons of great antiques.  It's always fun to shop at these markets as well as be a vendor!  As an added bonus, we were able to listen the the Million Dollar Quartet who was there preforming.  We also met tons of really nice people, one of which was a vendor right next to us, Patrice.  She made beautiful pieces of art using vintage china which she used as mosaics.  Her things were amazing!

What a find! This old park bench is fabulous. The antique hand painted french coverlet resting on it isnt too bad either.

We had lots of interesting little stuff for this sale.  The antique chest I had used in my own home, and was sad to see go, but it was time to pass it on. 

There was a flurry of shoppers before and after the Million Dollar Quartet played.  That's always exciting!

I love this little floral picture. It is so sweet.

Thanks to all the shoppers, we look forward to seeing you in Grayslake on Aug 7th.
