Vintage Chicago

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. 

 We were very busy with a Birthday for Mr. Beaux and Father's Day on Sunday of course.  

We took off for Chicago on Sunday morning tagging along with Mr. Beaux while he speaks at a conference.  We were looking for something different to do besides the usual touristy things.  I spied a Vintage Flea Market that was going on while I was surfing the net.  Miss Beaux LOVES Flea Markets so I thought this would be a hit. 

It's called Vintage Garage Chicago.  

They hold it in a parking garage and everyone sets up shop 

from the back of their car. 

 Kinda like an old fashioned Swap Meet. 

While Miss Beaux was looking at jewelry I found some beautiful brown transferware being sold at a wonderful booth manned by Janice.  She allowed me to take some pictures of her delightful vignettes.

Don't you love that pitcher?  

  And look at this covered casserole dish. 

 I even adore the chair that it's perched upon!

Pretty glass doorknobs!

I soooooooo wanted to take home everything from Leslie's Booth for our Colorado home.  Tartan blankets, old trophies, and look at these Camp Glen Eden awards.  Apparently in 1946 Ralph Berenson was the MAN!!!  He took home every award from Chess and Checkers to Best Athlete!!!

Go Ralph!  

Here's a cool Union Jack table that was sold.  

Great idea for tripod lamps on top of the table as well as some vintage suitcases below.  There were quite a few vendors with their goods and it was a fun "Non-touristy" day.  No idea what Miss Beaux and I will do in Chi-Town tomorrow...

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,

XO Cindy

Fabulous Friday Finds

What a Fantastic week!  Back to school, moving out, reorganizing and getting back to routines.  This post is about my Fabulous Finds this week.  About a week ago on my normal rounds to Tuesday Morning, Steinmart, Marshalls etc.... I spotted a beautiful Mirror at Tuesday Morning.  I looked it over, checked the price, drooled on it a little but alas, I passed it by.  It has haunted me ever since.  I swear I dreamt about it a few nights in a row!  So, today on my way out shopping with my son for New Apartment items we stopped in on the "chance" that it might still be there.  Well, it WAS! And here it IS!

 Isn't She Lovely?

Here is more of the Detail.

I think that it needs some more "Aging" as I feel it looks somewhat Flat and kind of "Manufactured" , but, that is not what I see when I look at the overall "bones" of the piece.  I'm not sure where it will end up but I am thinking in the Master Bedroom.

 The UPS man drove into our Cul-D-Sac this evening and I won't tell you how my dog Summer chased him across the street.  Ooooops I guess I just did.  Not sure what is with her right now, I'm guessing she is extra protective because of the new puppy.  I happened to be outside taking down the Lanterns and Wreaths.  It was such nice weather that I thought I had better get on it now before it gets frosty.  Anyway said UPS man delivered this suitcase sent by my MIL to Miss Beaux.  She spied it in her garage while we were in Florida and sweet talked her into giving it to her.  Miss Beaux loves all things Vintage.  Take a look inside...

 It's from the 50's!  Isn't it just the sweetest!  And I love the color.  Who knows what she will do with it but she promised she wouldn't paint it, sticker it or otherwise alter it.

 While on a jaunt to the Mission Roads Antique Mall in my area Miss Beaux and I stumbled upon this adorable Marriage License.  How Romantic is this?  I'm not sure what I am going to do with it but for $2.00 I can figure something out.  Any suggestions?  Of course Miss Beaux had to have a vintage ring that was $3.00.  I only had $5.00 on me but everything was 20% off so I got away cheap! (The trip to Starbucks beforehand was MORE expensive, but the time spent with Miss Beaux is Priceless!)

Those are my Fabulous  Friday Finds!

Happy Friday!

Beaux R'eves!
