Wildflower Fever

 
 
Wildflowers are blooming in Southern Wisconsin!  I've been excited to see this patch growing from a bag of seeds we planted this year.  The bachelor buttons are so delicate and sweet!
 


They look especially dainty in this test tube stand, which I picked up at a flea market last summer.



Can't wait to see if there are other flowers/colors in this mix that haven't yet bloomed.

Elkhorn Antiques Flea Market

 
Elkhorn Antiques Flea Market
Elkhorn, Wisconsin
 
One of the Elevated Bag Lady's favorite pasttimes....Flea markets!  The Elkhorn flea market is one of the best.  The show is once a month (except for July) throughout the summer.  First one this year took place on 5/18/14.  Next three dates are:

This market starts at 7 AM.  I arrived at the market with bag lady sister and SW (aka Mr. Elevated) before 8 AM and the parking lot was almost full.  You don't need to pay for parking but the entrance fee is $5.  It is well worth the $5, because this market is HUGE.  There was good weather on the 18th of May, but any Saturday in Wisconsin could be rainy, hot, cold...my point is:  dress in layers! 
 

 
 Fun Laundry Cart!
