Just Like Every Road Trip Vacation, I Had To Do A "Little" Shopping While Out And About. I Didn't Push It This Year Quite As Hard As Other Years, But I Did Find Some Cool Stuff Along The Way. Status: From Afar.

There's' ALWAYS good stuff to be had while on the road.  Ya just gotta know where to look...and look hard.  And ya gotta stop.  Stopping is the hard part because it sucks up time.  Time I'd rather be exploring and discovering.

Saturday Was Mostly Spent On The Road Messing Around Central Illinois. We Started Out At The Belleville Flea Market And Ended Up In Springfield Illinois At The Barrel Anique Mall. Status: Tons Of Good Stuff!

This place, Barrel Antique Mall Springfield Il., was a pleasant surprise.  It's always nice to find a vendor in an antique mall hawking the Vintage Modern.  Sometimes it's just a one or two...maybe a few...vendors with a piece or two available, but this place had booth after lovely booth of good stuff!

So Like, If I'm In St. Charles Doing Stuff...Of Course I'm Going To Check The St. Chuck Traps, Right? This Little Jewel Of A Find Came From The St. Vincent Thrift. Status: Oops...Not Fire King!

I'm always keen to find some interesting Fire King Federal Glass serving and bakeware to offer the customers at The Green Shag Market and I stumbled across this nice lot at a thrift that is a little out of my way this last weekend.  I don't get over to the St. Charles St. Vincent De Paul thrift store often enough but I seem to find at least one or two good things about every other time I do.
