We went to Indiana on Friday and Saturday and then headed North to Wisconsin via a stop over at home in Illinois to drop off the loaded car!!!!
So here is the Wisconsin part from today. Elkhorn Flea Market is three times a year. It in my opinion is one of the best in the midwest. It never disappoints and I always find treasures.
The first of these pictures I took with my cell phone because I forgot to grab my camera so the quality is probably not the best.
This w0men at the flea had some of the cutest french chic items. She mixed in her halloween with all her french couture. |
Lots of fun Halloween stuff. |
Yikes she had one of her french mannequin's dressed for halloween!!!!! |
Poor little prim she did not look happy. |
Cute dress mannequin made out of chicken wire. |
One of my fav vendors is Jeanine from Chippy Shabby. Jeanine had her gorgeous treasures for sale at the flea. Love her stuff. Jeanine's things can be found throughout my house. |
Here is the chippy chair. I placed the sweater pumpkins I got in Indiana on her. |
Love at first site with her chippy loveliness. |
This chair looks cute all dressed with white fall decor. |
Dressed up the new drop leaf table with some fall decor. Remember the little chippy tote from Jeanine at the flea market today here she is dressed for fall. Isn't this tote just the cutest. |
Cute, Kris, as always! At first I thought the chippy chair was a high chair - with the tote sitting on top of it, it created that illusion. Can't wait to see what you do with the birdhouse!
ReplyDeleteElkhorn is too far south for me, but Cedarburg also has great flea markets. Glad you found such wonderful items!

I can't wait to see the birdcage--love that chair with the pumpkins. Looks like such fun shopping! I am glad your weather is good--we are having 50 mph winds and flooding. A couple weeks ago it was 90 degrees! Oh well--we'll live :)
ReplyDeleteFun, fun! Love the chippy chair and tote! And of course I love your hubby's new signs to :)
ReplyDeleteYou always have me drooling at the wonderful fleas you frequent. The chippy chair is adorable with those sweet pumpkins!

Kris, Great treasures !! To already have them set up is amazing. They fit right in. Can't wait to see the rest, all prettied up by you. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeletefun looking sale!! I see the lovely French script, for some reason no one around where I live seems to be into that. I wish they were because I love it!
ReplyDeleteI see lots of great things. I was hoping we would go to an outdoor market like this in France, but the one that was planned wasn't there like the schedule said that our host had. She was very surprised and we were a bit disappointed.
ReplyDeleteYou got some great things, Kris! I just love that large bird cage. Can't wait to see it in your home. That little tote fits in perfectly with your Fall vignette.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible trip! The birdcage is awesome - can hardly wait to see how you transform it. I see so many things in your photos I would love to cart home!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Kris!
Blessings, Edie Marie
Hi Edie Marie,
DeleteIt was a great week end. I did not want it to end. I found a lot of great treasures. I am working on the bigger items this week. Lot's of painting to do and some adjustments by the hubby. Thanks for your sweet comment and taking time to come by.
Kris
What a fun time at the flea market. Looks like you brought home some gems...can't wait to see the transformations. The pumpkins on your chippy chair are magazine worthy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great trip to the flea market! Your little tote was probably belonged to a shoe shine guy.....carry supplies and sit on the tote. And your drop leaf table was exactly the one my mother had in the 40s.....deep mahogany with brass 'toes'. Harp back chairs went with this set. Can't wait to see what your hubby does with that birdcage!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! Such lovely finds and now such lovely displays. I am so envious of your white column. I found a red one about half that height, but it was $198 and I really have no place to put it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with the column and the birdcage. Are you going to show off the fireman's man cave?
Oh Kris, what great treasures you have - love them all. I am anxious to see what you do with the bird cage. I found one also at a garage sale for $15.00. It's not quite as big as yours, but I think I am going to paint it white and bring it in and put it on the sofa table behind my red couch. Looking forward to seeing what you do to your new treasures.
ReplyDeleteI am laying low as I have a blood clot in my left leg, but want to get cracking on some projects.
Have fun this week.
Mary
Oh, what a fun time you and your hubby had this past week-end! I love the bird cage but since I don't have a lot of room in my house I think I would use it outdoors! I agree, that is the cutest little tote! Enjoyed the flea market through your eyes!! Nancy
ReplyDeleteOh Kris, you sure got some great treasures. I love the tote and the chippy chair. Everytime I visit your blog I want to paint all my black furniture white. I've already done that some years back and I know I will do it again some day!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Oh Kris... that bird cage is amazing!! Love that sweet little chair too. And I see the wind chimes in one of the pics. How fun! I'm just wondering how that fabulous door is attached to the wall? It almost looks like it's part of the wall.
ReplyDeleteGreat, great treasures! The chair and the bird cage are adorable. I love your white fall decors.

Fun stuff! I can't wait to see your bird cage all gussied up in your house! I bought a twin to your chair this weekend at a local shop going out of business. Our oldest daughter has several in different colors around her farm table, so I picked it up for her. It was only $6!
ReplyDeleteHave fun painting this week!
Oh My...love that bird cage and I can't wait to see it painted white. It will be so beautiful!! Love your white pumpkins too...so pretty!

Hi Kris,
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to see why you love her stuff so much. The chair, table and tote are all just 'so you'. Love, love them! The birdcage is fabulous and can't wait for it's unveiling.
hugs,
Jann
Oh you lucky duck! What wonderful finds! Can't wait to see the ones you haven't shown yet and am crazy over the ones poster here! I adore that little chippy chair with the fall décor on it - so sweet! I had hoped to find a flea market or the like near the beach but couldn't locate one. I'm really I the mood for some gorgeous junk! Glad you found such nice treasures! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteOh my Kris your finds are fantastic. That birdcage is so amazing and I can't wait to see what you come up with for it. I can only imagine that you will add so much beauty to her!!! Love the chippy chair all dressed for fall.

Kris, I just got caught up with about your last 500 posts! I had been thinking that it had been awhile since I had come by and then another blogger sent me an email and asked if I was mad at her! So I have been checking some blogs and it shows that I'm not following!! And it showed that on yours, too. So I hit "Follow" again and I should be getting notified of your posts. SO sorry if you were wondering where I was. You've been up to a lot! I'm loving your fall decor, inside and out, and your new door is fabulous. I also got a kick out of seeing pics of your cute little granddaughter! Take care! :)
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
you really had a fabulous junking weekend, kris:) LOVE the bird cage, hope he can adjust it a bit! such a cute tote and your new pumpkins on the chair--so charming!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great eye and wonderful imagination!
ReplyDeleteLooking at your decorations is just a dream. Don't like fall colours, but I DO love your interpretation in white !
