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 :)

Around My Room...

Just playing with my camera

and taking pictures around my room

Staring the day upbeat

Marseilles & Ottawa, Illinois

During the weekend my special someone and I, spontaneously decided to take

a drive to Marseilles, IL and ending up also exploring a little

of Ottawa as well

The trip took us to 3 amazing antique stores

I helped myself to some great vintage photos to

add to my collection

Here are a few pictures

First stop "Country at Heart Antiques"

Great items, not many vintage clothing, but they have a few awesome

Victorian dresses and vintage hats

Lots of cool furniture 

Two floors

Flipping through the photos

I found some great ones to take home to paint

Check out the beautiful photo of the man

on the lower left

Definitely a keeper

Cute kitty

Exploring....

Some more exploring

"Hey, let's go down"

"Rural America"

This was a cool cozy place

Furniture, vintage toys and local crafts

Lots to look at

"Grammas's Attic"

You have to stop by this antique store if you ever go to 

Ottawa, IL.

They have 3 floors of great items, modern to antique

If your looking for vintage clothing they don't have a great selection,

but they have a few vintage hats

Many items to view...

I bought a very cool tintype photograph here!

Great trip
