Cabin Fever Big Time

It must be because we got four inches of snow last night.  Unfortunately, cabin fever has hit this house full on.  Time for spring antiquing and it is not even close to spring.


We are already in the mood for the weekend of antique shows in early March that puts Arthur, Arcola and Tuscola  Illinois on the map for non stop antiquing.  We have written before about this Amish country in central Illinois.  The lines for the shows are long and we always come away with some interesting finds.  And let's not forget the BBQ ribs and the trip to the Amish grocery store in the middle of a farmer's field.  Remember--antiques and food go hand in hand.

My mother always used to say "Never wish your life away" when I was a over eager child looking forward to an upcoming event.  I hear ya Mom--- but the calendar is moving slow this January.

Google A Gathering on the Prairie and you will find the biggest of the shows.  The numerous shows have staggered starting times.  Well worth your time.
