We had a bit of a surprise. There was mud, but the weather was quite decent, warm-ish, sunny and so delightful after winter. There was a new building at the Kane County fairgrounds, and there were a lot of vendors in it, and new ones to boot. Unfortunately it seems everyone in the tri-county area had the same idea we had--it was butt to gut in the buildings. Hard to see anything with all the people, strollers, kids and lookie-loos.
On our way to a pit stop Jen spied a suitcase for me so great I had to postpone my restroom trip to buy it. Per usual, the hit of the show. My suticases and Jen's flamingoes always garner attention as we roll them around.
We met the Iowa Junk Gypsies, whose name we loved. From them I bought a silk kimono, hand-stiched, absoltutely beautiful. Not for decoration, but great for lounging on cold mornings, 1920s style. A little slate/blackboard hanging from vintage measuring tape made a fun buy too.
