Trip to Madison

This weekend I took a trip to Madison, WI to visit my daughter, Brett.  On Friday we did some rummaging and thrifting. Brett found a sale with lots of brand name clothes and was thrilled that she scored a pile of wonderful , trendy clothes for a total of $ 45.00.  I found a nice dresser at St. Vinny's that will be perfect for up cycling. Seems that I can't leave Madison without having the back of my Trail Blazer full of neat stuff.  My poor golden retriever had about an 18 inch square of space to occupy all the way home!  On Saturday we went to the farmers market that is held on the State Capitol grounds every Saturday.  Vendors are spread out around the block selling cheeses, fresh bread , organic veggies and fruit, honey, maple syrup, oils, vinegars and so much more!

This is Brett checking out the fresh cherries.



Breads and more breads!! My weakness! We both had a fresh, warm cheese, spinach empanada for breakfast from Stella's Bakery.  Yum, yum!

Beautiful, colorful veggies!


Bretty had her sack full of fresh produce. 


Yum!!


                                     





Notice a lot of people wearing coats and jackets!  It was cold!!!


If I lived in Madison I would have bought a bouquet of flowers. 




I always have a great time visiting my daughter in Madison.  I love the shopping, the culture, the vibrant city and spending time with my daughter.  I had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back!
On the way home I just happened to get off the highway early and took some back roads home.  I  stopped at a rummage sale and found an awesome wardrobe and a little dressing table.  What a great weekend!
