ON THE ROAD AGAIN….

So blessed to be able to head back to the midwest for the WHOLE MONTH of May.

Too many treasures

to display but

here's a snapshot…

not a bad view with morning coffee on the dock!

rescued a few old birdhouses for the shop…

the BEST EVER used book store (Gandy Dancer Books)
next to a great coffee shop
next to an antique store that's always a winner
makes for the perfect
Main Street for me!

My favorite restaurant in town with amazing food in this great old house AND it's full of antiques. Gotta love shopping with your homemade waffles & syrup!!
