Come on Down to the Creek - - - Cranberry Creek!

.

Continuing with my cranberry harvest theme - - - let me take you down to the banks of the old creek - - - Cranberry Creek!!

Don't worry, you won't get your toes wet or your shoes muddy.


'Cause this creek isn't about crawdads and lily pads.


Nope - - - this creek is all about pluck and pulling yourself up by the boot straps and turning the lemons life throws at you into lemonade.


Cranberry Creek is my FAVORITE antique shop here in my home town.


When the automobile industry "crash" (pun intended) of a few years ago put her hubby's thriving car dealership out of business,


My friend Jodi picked up the lemons at her feet and turned the empty dealership into an antique consignment shop.

And WHAT a shop - - - but I'll get to THAT in a minute.

Isn't Jodi just the cutest??? And her little puppy too??? Jodi is every bit as sweet and nice as she looks.

BTW - - - that pitcher on the counter in front of her??? Um, yah - - - that was going home with me!


I just LOVE this place. I love it sooooo much that I spend time and $$$$$ there.


It's where I got nearly all the furniture for my little Basement Bungalow Hideaway Bedroom which I fixed up back in June and July. (Bed headboard and footer, dresser, pitcher on dresser, desk table, chair, shutters, and corner cupboard made from a door ALL came from the Creek.)


Jodi only carries the very best of things - - - lovely things.


And she has a great "eye" for arranging them attractively.

And THESE are just the FRONT rooms - - - -


When you pass through a small door beside her counter, you are entering what was the garage part of the car dealership.


And it too is just chock full of treasure!

So come on up to Wisconsin, y'all, and we'll go dip our toes in the creek - - - Cranberry Creek!!!
