My Weekend- Sunday

Sunday was a great day
We drove to Joliet for some vintage goodies
We first stopped for treats

How cute are these watermelon desserts?







"Rosca"





Lovely drive, so smooth and pleasant








Here are a few pictures inside
"Big John's Flea Market & Antiques"

If you didn't see my last post from the November trip
to the same shop,
here it is :)



Awesome beer can



Apple then & Apple now




Cute poddle planter




Hand painted 








The mirror pic :)





So many items!








We then drove off and wondered to 
an interesting location where we found an abandon factory/building


Love the rusted detail of the doors




This reminds me of a contemporary art installation
What do you think?
I think it looks so cool




This does as well




Who's this handsome fella? ;)



We also walked to a frozen pond 

The letter "M"



Casino time!
This casino had a great old hollywood theme 





Nice




Awesome movie posters








The Mr. and I ...hehe
I was overdressed



Beautiful mural




Great pictures even in the bathroom








Lost some thrifting money





Buffet action!

They were so delicious

Ride to Joliet

About 2 weeks ago
my love and I drove to Joliet, IL
to stop and wonder off into
 "Big John's Flea Market"
They have so many items, mostly vintage and antique
From the outside the shop does not look big, but
they do carry many items

Here are some pictures I would like to share






So many interesting treasures







I should of got this dress





It was so windy, my hair was all over the place :)















Awesome little critter 





Stopped by to eat and listen to
a live polka band :)




I purchased a beautiful vintage photo album
I am so happy to have found it















Thanks!
