We spent 3 days at Elkhart Lake Wisconsin. I love that town! It has so much to offer and to see. We stayed at the Osthoff Resort (sometimes the rooms are pricey), but you get a campfire smores night on Saturday on the beach (for free).
We spent Saturday morning at the Farmers Market where we bought cheap but delicious vegetables. A container of sun gold cherry tomatoes for $1 and a bunch of carrots for $1, muffins for $1.50, the most delicious chocolate scones for $3 each and homemade pecan brittle for $4. We had a great time. I also bought a vintage pink stone pin. They have crafts and antiques mixed in the market. We bought a Subway lunch and enjoyed it with our vegetables purchase. It made for a great lunch.
We also explored the great stores that are in the area. I didn't find any treasures this year, but they had some great items that were tempting the other shoppers.
We decided to explore the town of Plymouth that is only about 7 miles from Elkhart Lake. The town has artist painted murals on a lot of the buildings downtown. The shop owners were so nice. I especially liked a store called A Vintage Shop on East Mill St. They have a vast collection of vintage clothing, hats, purses, shoes, jewelry, linens, barkcloth, bakelite, glassware and art pottery from 1850-1980. It was amazing and a little overwhelming. You do need some time to shop there. But, it is a must stop if you are in the area. The other store I really liked is on the corner of Mill St when you enter town. (I think it is Fibbers McGee-I forgot to write down the name). Anyway, it is a nice town to visit.
I always look forward to visiting Elkhart Lake. Until next year...
