Or, how we spent Sunday! Our calender was marked and we were planning to spend Saturday, Sept. 22, our 6th anniversary, at our favorite antique show. Our anniversary trip to Phoenix, AZ and Las Vegas was literally planned around this and we scheduled it for a week later than usual so as not to miss any advertising items that we couldn't live without.
Well, I happened to pop into an antique mall last Thursday at lunch and I just happened to glance at the brochure rack and I noticed the flyer for the show and it said Sept 15 and 16! Whoa! I quickly made a call and it was confirmed that due to a change at the Indy Fairgrounds they got bumped back a week!
What a surprise we would have had (after the two hour drive up there) next Sat when we would have discovered it had already come and gone!
So, since we already had plans for this past Sat, we set our alarms for bright (no, dark actually...) and way too early for 6am on Sunday and headed up there. It was so worth it though! We ran into several people from the AAAA Convention mom and I had attended in July in L'ville, saw many beautiful pieces, got to go to the Toy/Holiday show that was set up in conjunction on Sunday only, found some Christmas presents for each other (no peeking!) and managed to bring home a few goodies for our collections!
A super yummy late lunch/early dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise and then a quick stop at the Exit 76 Antique Mall completed the whirlwind day!
You can be sure that come closer to their March show, I'll be checking their website for any last minute date changes!

Proving once again that it's always good to stop in at antique malls when you have time to kill.
We appreciated the Lumber Mill antique mall recommendation for Madison last weekend. Lots of good stuff . . .
That has always been one of our favorites in Madison!
