What can you expect to find on the Vintage Shop Hop? In addition to the fabulous vintage, antiques and home decor, each shop owner is 'rolling out the red carpet' for you. They decide what fun extras will be happening in their shops, but here's an idea:


>Discounts
>Demonstrations
>Games & Door Prizes
>Meet the Makers
>Live Music & Food Trucks
>Treats & Tastings


Typically we have anywhere from 300 to 400+ participating shops, located in Illinois & Wisconsin that are filled with:


>Vintage & Salvage pieces
>Antique Furniture & Decor
>Gorgeous ladies' clothing & accessories
>Upscale consignment furniture & clothing
>Real Barns stuffed with vintage & DIY project pieces


Call the boss--ask for the day off--consider a weekend with the gal pals.
