On Saturday morning early, my daughter Kathy picked me up. We were going to do a bit of small business shopping. We started here in Westfield , Indiana. This is the Main Street Shoppes. Two stories of antiques and flea market booths. I loved the way the building was painted.
Another part of it, although we did not go in here. I thought it might be storage.
The owner/ operator of the business pulled up next to us in his cute car, with a painting of the business on the sides. He said he can not hide while out driving this car. :):)
I thought of many of you out there as I shopped. Here is a wonderful display of Pyrex dishes for you Ann and many others. Good prices too.
A nice little fire truck for Kris' husband Terry. This truck was in great shape.
Well who would not think of Claudia and Shelia when they looked at this beautiful dollhouse. I did not even look at the price.
Tons of old Christmas ornaments and decorating pieces. For Jann and Deb, who always seem to find the best of this kind of treasures. I know there are many more of you who treasure hunt and strike it big .
Oh Mildred and other bloggers, this is your sign. LOL. I laughed when I saw this,and pointed it out to Kathy, as she is a kitty-cat lover too. I did buy a couple things. I'll post more pictures tomorrow.
Oh yes, my feet are killing me this morning, We walked that whole building, both floors. Then went to Carmel, Indiana and walked around and found a delightful consignment shop. More later.
Blessings for a beautiful day where you are..right now we have sunshine and 38 degrees, going to be in the 40's . XO
you find the best shops,, honestly,, you have a good eye for the best stuff lol,,
ReplyDeleteLaurie, I like this shop and I loved the one after. You would too. I enjoy looking at things and I do once in awhile buy something. But I am old and do not need to be dragging more into my home. LOL. Blessings to you my friend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat looks like a great place to poke around in! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJenn, I like looking even though I try my best not to buy. There was so much stuff it was almost overwhelming. LOL. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSuch cute finds, especially the dollhouse!
ReplyDeletePilar, I wish I had checked the price of that cute dollhouse. The firetruck was 110. Hope you are getting some nice weather. I am so loving our weather the past 3 days . So nice. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat fun it must have been in there Susie! I just love shops like this! I think I may be in love with that car too!
ReplyDeleteI was so glad to see from your previous post that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Ours was lovely and I think I'm a little glad it's over, and I finally had a chance to sit down :)))
sending hugs...
June, So good to hear from you. I did have a wonderful day with family. Saturday when I went shopping with Kathy, I wore my feet out. I just went along for the fun of sight seeing and eating out...as I rarely buy anything any more. Seeing olden things from my childhood was fun. Like a big radio my parents owned. Glad your thanksgiving was good too. Yes, let's rest our feet girl. :):) Blessings and a hug for Landon always, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI liked everything pictured here!! Will add it all to my wish list lol
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I know you knew that sign was for your sister. LOL . Some things were great bargains and some were very steep in price. It was fun seeing lots of dishes from days of old...like some that used to come in soap boxes. Hope you are enjoying this lovely weather. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh yes, the cat sign is just what I need! So funny. I hope you will have a very nice evening.
ReplyDeleteMildred, I am glad you laughed about the sign. I know you love your cats. :) I did have the best holiday weekend. So much love and a bit of relaxing. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat cat sign is so cute! I can think of a couple of people who would love getting that for Christmas. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteCher, It is going to be 60 here in central Indiana today. may 64 tomorrow. Then I know it will be winter soon after. LOL. I am calling this our Indian Summer. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh I would have loved that place!! I like all things old, but these days I must just look and leave it be :( It's a hard thing to do. Love the cat sign.....I would have immediately thought of Mildred also :)
ReplyDeleteDoris, That is truly the bad/sad part...when I go to these places, I think to myself...do not buy anything, you do not need it and where oh where would you put it? LOL....then I feel very old indeed. Mildred liked the cat sign. :):) She's a sweet lady , as is her sister Karen of Lily Valley. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteMy kind of shopping, lots of interesting wares and antique pieces to sort through. I went to small business Saturday also, lots of Christmas items, women in their glory and the few men looking as though they would have rather stayed home :)
ReplyDeleteNeat place Susie !
~Jo
Jo, My daughter and I happened upon a man and woman, he was totally being a grump. My daughter whispered," The lady needs to take him home. " I could not help but laugh. Women need to shop without men and children...for peace of mind. LOL. I enjoyed seeing all the olden things. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove the kitty sign..so true..Thanks for sharing your shopping trip with us..SO many nice things..I rarely go shopping any more..Staying away from temptations!!! Have a good week..
ReplyDeleteMissy, More and more I hear of people shopping on line. It has to be easier for sure. I always give money, so I really do not buy gifts other than the great grands and Ted. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOoh what fun shops. Laughing at the van. You wouldn't miss that vehicle for sure. LOL! Such a fun day for you. Hugs and blessing, Cindy
ReplyDeleteCindy, I laughed about that van when the man said he can't hide anywhere in town. LOL. That was a fun time looking at all that stuff. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a fun shopping trip. I want that red fire engine. How cute is that. Now that my decorations are up I will have to have a "Wanda" day and just go looking and junking!!!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve a Wanda day. LOL. Hope it's fun. I still like looking at things...although I try not to buy. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a great place Susie. Love the bright colors to the building too. That fire truck is just adorable. Looks like a great day.
ReplyDeleteKris
Thank you Kris. It was fun being with my Kathy...we are making up for all those years we rarely got to be together. I loved that truck. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat doll house is amazing. I want to someday get a doll house, and wouldn't it fun to decorate it for the holidays? I hope your feet are not as sore today. If I walk for too long, my feet start to hurt as well. : )
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Oh Sheri, that dollhouse would be a cute Christmas decoration, wouldn't it? Yes, my feet took two day to stop hurting. I only take Tylenol for pain. I will not be walking that much any time soon. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat’s a lot of walking! Thanks for taking me with you so I can see it all without having to walk it all!
ReplyDeleteLinda, That was a ton of walking. It's the standing more than the actual walking that hurts my feet . Of course concrete sidewalks are rough too. I am better but it took two days. Blessings, xoxo,love, Susie
