Hi Everyone.
Saturday Terry and I took a drive up over the border of Illinois and into Wisconsin. There is the cutest little historic town just north of Milwaukee called Cedarburg.
They have cute shops and great places to eat and a winery.
Jeanine from Chippy Shabby lives right there in Cedarburg and was having one of her fabulous home sales.
The drive is only about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Here is Jeanine's cute little sale sign she had on her blog. Doesn't that cute chair just make you want to jump in your car and go to her sale. |
It was pouring rain when Jeanine opened at 8am. Chippy treasures galore. |
Here are some of the treasures I got and am re loving into my home.
I have always wanted one of these mason jar holders. So Jeanine had this one for sale and it came home with me. I got some fresh flowers out of the garden to fill in the jars. |
Love this on my counter so much prettier than just any ole vase of flowers. The canning jars and holder gives such character to my picked garden flowers. |
Got this cute chippy wire gathering basket from Jeanine. |
Love at first sight!! I put the linen embroidered towel and lavender sachet from Rita in this basket. I am sure I will be changing this basket up with lots of cute things. |
Another sweet treasure I found at Jeanine's is this sleeping angel in the old enamel pot. The angel was full of rust but I wanted her to be more a soft white. So I gave her a little paint re do. |
It was too sweet to pass up |
I got this awesome potting table from Jeanine too. Oh my chippy and wonderful to replace the dresser I took from under the picket fence to use in the bathroom for a new vanity. You can see that post here. |
So those are a few of my treasures.
I have one big treasure I scored from Jeanine and I will have that in a post soon. Terry had to make a few adjustments to it so stay tuned to see this fabulous treasure I scored.
Have a great rest of the week.
Thank you always for your visits and taking time to leave a comment. Makes my day.
Be sure to come back for Spotlight on Saturday I have a great blogger for you to get to know.

What a fabulous sale! You came home with some wonderful treasures.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous stuff! Wish I could have gone with you - so many things I would have bought... good thing I'm stuck up here and far away from it all - LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Kris, how fun to go and visit your blog friend for her sale she had. You bought some really nice things. Wishing you a wonderful week and weekend.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You are a lucky lady to live so close to the great sale and blog friends. Definitely worth the drive!
ReplyDeleteKris, You made me laugh when you said you were junk drunk. LOL. Love that. I am glad you saw some followers. I think the jar holder is wonderful filled with your garden flowers. I like the angel white. I have one like it on my mom's old planter here. The little table is rustic and cute. Hope you are having the same sweet weather we are here in central Indiana. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Someday I need to visit one of her sales, she has the best junk! Great new treasures perfect for your home.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous sale!!!! You got some great goodies.....my favorite is the potting table :o)

Oh Kris, DIVINE WHITES! I had a shabby white garage sale one morning and a mother/daughter team drove up first thing in the morning and cleared me out! I had NOTHING LEFT! The chunk 'a change I got from them sent me off on my way that morning just pleased as punch! But now, I'm on the hunt for more chippy whites! I love the hunt and gather cycle! ENJOY! Anita

ReplyDeleteOH you found some fun goodies...looks like a great sale! That little white cubby might have found it's way home with me lol! Looking forward to seeing your treasure!
ReplyDeleteLove how you used the Angel and I'm so cracking up with you being drunk on junk. That would be a great blog name!! I'm glad you had time to do something fun and take your mind off everything for a while.
ReplyDeleteThat looked like a fun shopping excursion. Those items look just like something you would have in your home too! Love your new finds. Your husband is sweet to hang out with you amongst all the ladies!

Love that little cubby with the cups and your mason jar holders are perfect! What a sweet hubby to travel with you! Looking forward to seeing your big treasure!
ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to meet you and your husband at Jeanine's sale. I have been enjoying reading your blog for quite a while. Glad you found some chippy white goodness here up in Wisconsin.

Hi Sue,
DeleteI was so glad to have meet you at Jeanine's. You are the sweetest and it was so nice of you to say the things you did about my blog and your good thoughts for Terry. Thank you for visiting today and leaving your sweet comment. I so appreciate it. I hope to see you again at the next sale.
Kris
I'm in love with everything, good thing I wasn't with you, I'd be broke by now! Especially loved the wood chippy cubby with the cups!.
ReplyDeleteJeanine always has the best chippy pieces. You got some wonderful things, especially the potting table. Love it! They all fit so perfectly in your home. Milena
ReplyDeleteNice finds Kris!! I love all the WHITE of course. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
Kris, you got some great treasures. I envy you that live back there. A lot closer to all the great little towns where all the fun stuff is. You have tweaked my memory. I have a set of pretty vintage drinking glasses in a wire holder that I was going to add flowers to but forgot. Thank you for reminding me. Love the angel in the little pot. Would you believe that I have my first "potty" and it looks just like that only with a red rim. Didn't have an angel in it though!! All that you got fits in so perfectly in your lovely home and looks so pretty..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteI love all your treasures - great finds. There are so many wonderful chippy stores there. We have some here, but boy are they expensive. I do better at the Salvation Army.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful as usual. Have a great rest of the week. I'm off to San Jose to visit my son for my Bday. I'm sure he has hired a marching band to celebrate my 80th day. LOL I can count on him doing something unusual.
Glad that it quit raining.

Hi Kris,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and Terry had such a fun day. LOVE the Mason Jar holder you scored! Nice job!
Kathleen
You found some wonderful treasures, Kris! I especially like that mason jar holder and the wire basket. I doubt that I would have been able to leave the gray cubby behind, at least for the right price. Have fun with your new goodies!

ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a fabulous sale and I love what you brought home, so perfectly you!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have come out of that sale with a few treasures myself, Kris. She had some really fabulous items out in the rain! Love your finds, especially your canning jar holder filled with your pretty pink flowers. So sweet! I can't wait to see the biggie you're keeping under wraps! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOooooh the canning jar basket is perfect for your home Kris! Nice finds and I can't wait to see the BIG one.
ReplyDeleteBoy oh bit did you grab great stuff. I'm drooling over the shutter, window and tables I noticed.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Kris how fun to meet some fellow followers. The sale looked amazing. I loved it when you said that you were "JUNK DRUNK". That is a perfect way to describe the feeling that you get when you are junk'n. Have an amazing day. Jo
ReplyDeleteI love Chippy Shabby, too!!! I live on the east coast (CT) but I hope to make it to one of her sales one of these days when I take a Midwestern trip. I love all the treasures you got!!! They look wonderful in your home!!! Enjoy & thanks so much for sharing such a wonderful excursion!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness! I am in junk heaven just looking at the pictures of this fabulous sale! Well worth the drive for sure! I love what you scored! That little angel in the pot is so adorable! Love the potting table where the little dresser used to be and the gathering basket is such a fun piece to decorate with! So glad you found the little Mason jar holder! I found a couple of those years ago at a yard sale for $1 a piece and snatched them up so quickly! Love the way they look with flowers! I would love to find a sale like that in my area! So much fun! Enjoy your new goodies! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteSo many sweet treasures!
ReplyDeletethat old enamel pot that the angel is in is a pee pot or chamber pot. used when their were no indoor bathrooms.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love all of this chippy shabby chic goodness. Wonderful treasures my friend xo
ReplyDeleteYou got some great items! Love the wire basket - too in love!! I wish 'things' could love me as much a I love them, that would make me happy!! Enjoy the rest of your week! Blessing, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI was under the weather and we didn't make it to the sale, next time for sure. But you scored some great finds, as always Jeanine has the best stuff! And I just saw we are actual LZ neighbors, not just blogging neighbors!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh where in LZ do you live? How fun that we live in the same town. What is your first name and where do you live exactly.
DeleteKris
"Junk drunk", I love that. It perfectly describes the few times I've come across a sale of pretty vintage items. But I would never ever have seen the potential you did in the canning jar holder! You have one great eye!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blog & good post.Its really helpful for me, awaiting for more new post. Keep Blogging!
