~SHOPPING THE SHED~

The Husband and I spent another day out in the beautiful fresh air yesterday, just an hour from home. Yes, we skipped the lakehouse and headed out to Dundee, Illinois for a fun sale hosted by fellow blogger, Joy from Savvy City Farmer. The event was called Shop The Shed and that we did. Look at this bowl filled with gorgeous soaps. I could eat them!
The day started out rainy and gloomy but soon the sun started to peek out. As usual, The Husband was first in the shower and ready to go. I don't roll as fast. He really loves these sort of things and is happy just to take a ride in the country. After a quick lunch and listening to him call me Dundee Jane over and over, off we went.
Getting there late was okay; we beat the crowd. Joy said they were lined up in the rain that morning. I can only imagine the goodies she had before I got there. Everywhere I turned I saw something that I had to pick up and touch {which The Husband promptly made me put down}.
I was lucky to meet a few sweet ladies that also had blogs, including Joy's pretty daughter. In the end I couldn't remember names but I really enjoyed chatting with these girls and looking at what they had to sell. Speaking of...above is my little stash {which doesn't include a few other things I am saving for another post}.
Here are Joy and I, posing for a picture. Doesn't she look sweet? She really is the nicest lady and I hope to meet up with her again.
Did I mention that Joy has the nicest yard and garden {she had tons of green tomatoes on the vine that I was going to make an offer on}? Tables full of antiques and jewelry and handmade goods and crafts.
Tents were set up with twinkling lights underneath...
...and people were still coming near the end of the sale.
After we said our thanks and goodbyes, The Husband and I drove around the downtown area of Dundee a bit. I should have taken more pictures. It's a picturesque little town, just 45 minutes west of Chicago. It's always a fabulous day to get out of the city and head this way, especially this time of year.

Isn't this place above just the coolest? We stopped to use the facilities and ended having a beer and watching a bit of the football game.
It really was a beautiful day. I'll be back this week with more of what I bought. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! :-)
