French Market Friday

Hi Everyone.

I took a break from taking care of my grandgirls, helping my mom out and doing things at the new house to have a "mental health" day with a good friend.

We hopped in my car and drove down to Tipton Indiana to the French Market they have there in the summer.  It took us about 2 hours to drive there and the time flew with all the catching up we did talking in the car.

Horton's is a hardware home and garden store like no other.  It is as cute as can be.  It has your typical hardware and garden things but it also has lots of crafty junk and special one of a kind pieces.

This is their sweet window display.  Lots of fun things in this home and garden store.

Loved the sweet vintage bike all decked out in the window of the store.

Fun beautiful pieces greet you as you enter in the store.

My heart was beating just a little faster when I saw this chippy vintage garden tub.  Oh I would have scooped that up quickly but it was not for sale.  :( Sigh....

Love the chippy sweet legs on this old tub and Don't you love the whimsy of that large fork!

Outside the store was the French Market .  Lots of cool venders.  Love this garden shed.  Horton's has lots of outdoor displays like this to sell their garden plants.  Just so fun to shop there for garden plants and flowers.

Don't you love the coffee tables made of round recycled wood and garden tubs.

Sweet vintage pieces in so many booths.

Lots and lots of vintage, lace, antiques and chippy's.  Something for everyone.

One of the vendors is Tinkerhouse Trading Company.  I just recently found her beautiful blog.  She creates the sweetest items and will be launching a store front on her blog very soon.
If you have not visited this lovely blog here is the link.  You will enjoy swooning through her posts.

Here are a few of the things in the Tinkerhouse booth.

Her displays are gorgeous.  Love her bedding.

This is how she tied off the curtains to the bed.  Lots of ribbon, cut out flowers and ferns.  Just was so pretty.

The highlight of the day was meeting up with Susie from She Junks.  Susie is as sweet as can be.    It was a lot of fun to meet Susie in person.  I am hoping I can coax her Chicago way someday so we can spend more time together.  She was shopping with her sweet daughter.


Hope you do not mind Susie I took the pic of us from your post.  Mine on my camera phone disappeared.  Not sure what happened there!!  I am sure it was the 90 degrees and humidity!  My pics must have melted away.

It was a fun day and a great market.

Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Kris
