Cathy at the Ultimate Elf always has something special to  sell!

These folks set up next to me.  They have a dreamy booth!

Cathy is rockin the Chalkboard paint!
 I just love the flag standard behind the tankard!

A Glimpse of the Elkhorn Flea Market

I hope you enjoy this glimpse of my space at the closing show at Elkhorn 2011

it rained and then the sun would peek through the thick clouds

Halloween 

my take on the mad scientist

a closer look just love the glass bottles and scientific finds

Fall

a rainbow between downpours

old folding ladder and the box on top.  Love the strawberry sign and the orange folding chairs

guy stuff!

It's a Small World After All!

It's a small world out there! Recently I met a dynamic vintage seller at the junk warehouse in Barrington, IL , who mentioned to me that she had a little place on some beautiful acreage in Door County. When I told her my goal of being up there in the coming years, she said we should keep in touch through our blogs to see our development... until our goal of being in the "Door" is reached!

She envisions having Vintage sales there, I mentioned the same! MY goal is to someday open a studio there and call it " Open Door Studio". I hope we are able to keep in touch to see our progress!

It is a lovely place and I only wish I would have thought about purchasing there 8 years ago... when it would have been possible!
