Warm Weather Wishes and Events

Happy Mother's Day!


I spent a part of Saturday at the flea market at the Shops on Pepper Road in Lake Barrington.  It is held once a year.  I bought this great lavender plant from Joy at Savvycityfarmer (http://savvycityfarmer.com/)  It looks and smells so nice in my planter that covers the septic tank.  I would rather look at the lavender any day!

Last week, the Shops in Ridgefield (https://www.facebook.com/TheAntiqueShopsOfRidgefield/) held their garden open house event.  The weather was perfect for being outside.


I managed to find a few treasures.....


Now, I'm busy getting ready for the Spring Open House at Carriage House.


I spent some time there this morning....and planted this dump truck for a unique planter.


There are a few markets coming up.  Main Street Market (https://www.facebook.com/mainstreetmarketrockford/) event in Rockford is on Saturday.   The Pecatonica flea market (https://winnebagocountyfair.com/index.php/pec-thing) is on Saturday and Sunday and the Elkhorn WI flea market (https://www.nlpromotionsllc.com/) is on Sunday.

The Cedarburg WI flea market (http://www.cedarburgfiredept.com/services/maxwell_street_days.htm) is May 28.

Happy treasure hunting!
