Happy 4th of July Michigan New Shop

 




Terry and I decided to take a ride to Michigan and check out a new shop that opened yesterday in St. Joseph.  About 1 hour 20 minutes from my house in Illinois.
So happy we took the drive.


Diane that owns Vintage Goods in Three Oaks just opened the new shop called Mercantile with her friend.  
These shops are awesome.

There are all kinds of vintage pieces but I gravitated towards all the vintage garden pieces.  This flower cart was amazing.


Loved the garden room area.  Sweet plants and plant stands.  
Lots of vintage garden items.


See the white chippy cement piece to the very right.  
Well that came home with me.  
You will see it below.









I brought it home and put it in front of my dining room window which is a southern exposure so a nice plant on this was a good idea.  
Today we had a very overcast day but normally the sunshines in this room all day.

I saw this great salvage piece and had to have it.  
I will show you soon how all of this turns out.  
A little bit of a work in progress right now.  
Hope to have that to show you soon.

Of course it started a whole thing bringing in a new piece.  The vintage hall tree I was struggling to decorate has been moved and this new piece is in its place.  I also got my vintage window mirror out of storage and I am going to pull these pieces together with some awesome decor.

It never fails as soon as you find a new piece it starts a whole switch
 a 
roo!

Wishing all of you an awesome weekend.  Happy 4th of July.
If you live in Michigan near the lake.  St. Joseph and Three Oaks has a couple of really cute shops to visit.
Vintage Goods and Mercantile.

Happy 4th of July.
Hugs,
Kris

  6. Kris, I'm glad that you and Terry went for a drive to a new place to shop. I love that new stand and it looks great with the green plant in the window. I love the other piece you bought and I can't wait to see how you decorate it. Have a happy 4th Kris.

  7. Well, now I have a new shop to check out next time I'm in St Joseph! Did you get pizza at Silver Beach Pizza? It's our absolute favorite pizza place. We crave their pizza all the time. (And that's saying something with the fabulous pizza we have here in Chicago, lol!) I like the new piece by your window with the plant on it. Did you move the hall tree somewhere else or is it in storage?

  8. Love your finds, Kris!! You make me laugh, same thing over here...I add one new thing and boom, major changes everywhere. Haha!! I love that you have so many cool shops nearby. They're all so interesting. There are a few cool ones I've heard about that I want to visit upstate, but fighting my way out of NYC is annoying. Maybe this summer. You've inspired me!! Happy 4th my friend. xo
