I have seen these glass chickens before but never a red one, so I was so happy to find this one. I think it's a little candy dish...it sure is pretty sitting by a window,
the sun shines through it and it just glows... Such a fun find for $10.00!
I loved this old typewriter...it was only $24.00 and it even came with a ribbon and it works...very cool.
I have been wanting a set like this for a long time, they are so bright and cute!The whole thing with the pitcher and basket was $32.00...
I just love it on my kitchen counter!
I think my Mom had a set like this so for sure I loved them...just $6.00
Ron and I went to this place called..."Gardners Village"...it's an old mill in the Salt Lake City area. It has always been my favorite place to go and shop.
Each shop is a little old house or cottage with different themes. Usually I have gone with my daughters but it was fun to go with my hubbie!
They have 2 covered bridges there...lined with all kinds of cowboy boots...cute!

My honey...isn't he a sweetie-pie?! LOLHe doesn't like to smile for a picture, so I had to
say something to him that he liked!
So many pretty things to see...you walk in and beautiful music is playing, makes me want to start waltzing!
Outside, between the cottages are beautiful flowers everywhere.You should see this place during each holiday....wowza!
So many pretty things to adore....
Isn't this the sweetest little dress?! I should have bought it for our newest little grand daughter but it was costly!
I feel so feminine in this shop...it just takes one away!
The main part is the old mill...it is full from top to bottom with everything you would just love to buy! And there is a most delicious place to eat there too so we had lunch and it was so good!
The ole water wheel...it's so peaceful there to sit and listen to the water...
I also have been wanting one of these forever...it looks so pretty sitting on my kitchen counter and I will store all my goodies here!
Another good deal...$50.00 sunglasses...on sale for $12.00...can't beat that!
And then last but not least...we bought this grizzly bear lamp...it's huge and very beautiful. Our home is more rustic so it fits in beautifully!
Several had asked to see the goodies from our weekend adventure up north...
(that's what we say when we go to Salt Lake City...up north...it's 3 hours north of us)
So there you go...a very fun trip with the Hubbie and goodies to enjoy in our home too,
A very fun weekend trip indeed, sometimes I think a short trip is as good as a vacation!
~I hope you are having a great week~

It looks like you had a wonderful time. How nice that hubby went along with you-that probably doesn't happen very often when you go shopping?!? Loved all the pics...but especially love the little red hen. I have some milk glass ones from my hubby's grandmother and have one to give to each child. Have a great day-Diana
Woot! What awesomely fantastic finds and treasures. You DID have fun and it will continue to make you smile for years to come.
I love all your buys. And what a smile you got from your Marine. Makes me wonder what you said to him..... :-)
Hope you are staying cool!
I love having a domed cake plate on my counter too. It makes me intentionally keep things under that cover that are yummy. Most common is bagels... but just had the last brownie taken last night!!
And a weekend away is almost better to me than a vacation. I don't like to be away from home long.... silly homebody... Hugs to you!
Love it all Julie~ You got some great pieces and finds. Your sweetie is cute! I wonder what you said to make him smile! ;) Glad you had a fun trip. Love the glasses too. Hugs, Jenn
Very good deals Julie! You look pretty! I love the sunglassses and red chicken. Too cute! :)
Great finds Julie.Ive seen the glass chicken before as well.But Im like you I never saw it in red.I adore that little dress, so sweet.I bet it was a precious penny lol.I love that shop, to sweet.
Have a great weekend Julie!Hugs!
I remember that my mom had a set of shakers like those.
Love the red chicken as well.
Glad that you got hubby to smile.
It sounds like your little trip was a lot of fun.
Thanks for taking us along.
have a great day.
Wow, Julie you Truly scored over the trip up north. For some reason I always pictured your place north of SLC. We are going to the place where the cougars reside on Saturday for a few weeks to be with kids and grandies and to just go some place because we can! Retirement is awesome!
I love Gardner's Village too. Such fun shopping and the ambiance is great. I never get out of there without buying something. I also love Taipan up that way. And The Porch in Springville. They have some fab shopping throughout the valley. I bet your lamp looks great in your home. Still lovin' your mantel!
Take care sorry I have been somewhat absent lately...just trying to adjust to the new lifestyle and having a little too much fun!
Hugs, Bon
Awesome sunglasses! They look marvelous on you!
I love those countertop additions too!
Places like this... to tinker, dream and "waltz around" are thoroughly enjoyable!
Glad you had a great time and shared your finds with us!
A lovely weekend to you, Julie!

What a great place to find treasures!! Your red chicken is beautiful. I have a few of those chickens in various shades of blue.
You found some lovely treasures, Julie. The salt and pepper set is very Dutch like, I mean with the windmills. Send me an email at skok@dappui.nl, I'll look for something sweet petit to add to your cute S&P set.
Have a happy Summer day! xxxx
Hi Julie! Oh, now you know how I'm in love with that red glass chicken dish! It's adorable!!
Glad you and your sweetie had such a good time. You're styling in those pretty shades!
Continue to be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Love all the things you were able to collect.
Sounds like you had a great time.
What a fun trip and so many great goodies! I love the basket with the pitcher and those glasses. They are so bright and happy!! You so glamorous in those sun glasses!! Your Hubby is a cutie!
Such a fun day you have let us share with you. Collectibles always make me smile. A loved one's smile even more so! Elizabeth
I love all your fabulous "finds". How neat to shop with your husband. What good sport!!
I especially like the Dutch print S&P shakers. I think you probably came out pretty well on those.
Love the lamp!
Glad y'all had a good time and enjoyed the day together.
Hugs,
Karen

Wow! You made a haul - Good stuff for sure!
I love that red chicken - I remember seeing those when I was a kid and it brought back some memories. Definately a fun find.
I have never been to Gardner village but since I have been blogging I have sure heard about it alot - I think I must put it on my list for next time I am in Utah.
Your hubby is a handsome cowboy! I love how you got him to smile.
:D
What a wonderful time! Many treasures!
I love to go to Gardner Village. Halloween is lots of fun there! You found some great deals. The red chicken is awesome! It's fun that your hubby could go with you.
The red chicken would be pretty in the sun. My grandma had a goldish one. Wonder what my aunt did with it!?! Looks like a pretty place. The ferris wheel with the flowers. Neat bridge with with boots on it. I like the pitcher and glass set and the cake dome would be cool to have out on the counter.
looks like you had a great time! and you look ma-vou-lis!
Hi Julie, what wonderful goodies you got, I love that bear lamp, I love the idea of a rustic cabin home especially for Fall and Winter, do you have a big stone fireplace in yours? I'd love that too.
I am picturing my little Riley someday in that little girl's dress. You did alright on your shopping spree. I love outings like that where you don't have to rush and can just waltz around and pick something nice to take home. I love the cake dome and always wanted one but never think of buying one when I am shopping. I'm sure there will always be something scrumpdillyishus under that dome that you have made. The grandkids will love to peak under there when they visit :) So.....what did you say to that sweet guy, anyway? Hugs, Deb =^..^=x5
what a wonderful time and the jackpot of items. loved the photos have a good evening.
I always love a good deal! I've never been to gardner village, it looks like fun!
Gorgeous stuff! I love that dress! Your little baby would have been darling in it....for about 3 wearings.
You found some real treasures. Sounds like you had a blast!
Oh Julie!
You got some fabulous VINTAGE goodies!
Adore the red hen...and that wicker tray with the vintage glasses and pitcher...are UH-DORABLE!!!
And love love love the salt and p shakers!
So my style!
Well it used to be before we moved to Seattle!
Love your style sweet Julie!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I just love that typewriter! What a great find!
Oh my..what a fun time you had! What great bargains! I have a clear glass dome like that and use if for everything...so nice and practical.
Love the tray and glasses...and everything else. And I can just see that bear lamp in your home..just perfect!
Oh wow you found so many great goodies. Love the pitcher and glasses...how bright and cheerful! I love looking through shops filled with adorable things. We went in a toy store that was filled from top to bottom with cuteness.
Wow! It looks like you had a great day! Lots of fun items!
Right down to the sunglasses..what a fun day!
Deborah xo
OH WOW...what a lucky weekend you had finding all your great treasures.
GARDNER VILLAGE...I love that place, and haven't been for a couple years. I think I need to put that on my MUST DO list for the summer.
Enjoy that typewriter....SO DARN CUTE.
Sandra
It's all just delightful, Julie! So glad you had such fun. Like you, I sure enjoy Gardner Village at the holidays. Love your glam glasses and cake keeper. Enjoy this weekend.
I want the red hen -- love it - and the typewritter too and where did you find it -- I've been looking for one for awhile -- this is so awesome for you! Glad you are safely back home --
What great finds...especially that great typewriter and I love the bear lamp...I'm a lover of rustic lodge looking furnishings...in my great room hangs a moose head and 2 deer heads...the bear would go well...oh, husband was wondering if your neighbors Bison are friendly creatures like cows or don't get close to them like bulls?
I guess this is a real man question.
You have an eye for just the right things. Love that old typewriter.
Oh Julie, what an adventure and so many treasures were found...love your pretty little chicken... you will have to store a candy or two in it for your grandbabies to find...
....love Rosie....
What a fun getaway with your honey. You got some great deals on some great stuff. Love Gardner Village. Mimi
Hi Julie
Looks like you and your hubby had fun shopping. I have been to that Mill place before, I loved all the little shops!
But, I keep going back to your first picture of that red chicken....I collect those glass chickens and I have never seen a RED one before! What a great find!
Hugs, Ann
My, my, such lovely things. I think my favorite is the pitcher and glasses. So vintage and bright. I am a descendant of Archibald Gardener. I can't remember how many greats he is back, but a few for sure.
Great finds!!! I love the red roaster bowl and the windmill shakers.
That is a pretty cute cowboy too!!!!
Have a great weekend.
My favorite place in the entire planet to shop is Gardners Village and I love the restaurant too! I haven't been there in ages...hmmm....maybe this weekend!
WOW is right! So many fun finds for you! That red glass chicken dish is adorable! And I do love Gardner's Village - such a fun place to be!
And really, you are so darling - I need a sip from your fountain of youth! xo
Gosh it's been forever since I have been to Gardners Village- looks like I need to make a visit. I love the vintage typewritter and the gorgeous flowers- so pretty.

Hugs
First off...both you and your honey are adorable !!
Love these beautiful treasures you found. I, too, am looking for some neat vintage glasses like yours. I have a few juice size that I found at a garage sale...but I'd love some larger ones, too. My covered cake stand is one of my favorite things and, you are right, they look so good on a counter with GOODIES inside.:)
What great finds! My mom collects glass hens and I have never seen a red hen. This one is so awesome!! Looks like a great day :)
Wendy
Never seen a red hen dish. Lucky find. And the typewriter is awesome. My favorite are the sunglasses. You look very chic!
You have a great place to shop too. I love that typewriter and a much better price, too.
LOVE your finds. My Mom had a gold chicken like your red one. LOVE the red one!! Isn't it just so fun to find great deals and items that mean something or bring great memories to mind?!!!
So glad your enjoyed your trip and thanks for sharing your finds!! :-)

Looks like a great get away and oh, you were so close! We love to head over to Gardner's Village for dinner at Archibalds or to mosey through the fun shops. Our little ones love to feed the large gold fish right in front of the store you found so many treasures in.:)
I am glad you found so many bright and cheerful things to take home and enjoyed a fun time with your sweet hubby. You look aweome in your new shades!
I too need to say something just at the right moment to get Mr B to smile on cue:~)!
Lots of fun "finds"! I love the red chicken dish. I have a blue one, that's new, and a white milk glass one that I've had since I was a toddler. (shall we say it's well over 50 yrs. old?) :)
Have wonderful weekend!
You did find treasures ~ and lots of them! My favorite are the sunglasses. Looking very pretty, Dear Julie!
What wonderful finds! I LOVE the rooster and the glasses...everything really...such fun colors!
Looks like you found a great place to enjoy time with your sweet hubby!

You found some great things... I love the red chicken. The glasses were a good buy.
The little girls dress in the shop is adorable!
Glad you had a fun trip xx
I always think that short trips are GREAT vacations!
I've been there a couple of times and it is always so much fun! I've always been with my sisters that live in SLC. Our fun place to meet and eat and SHOP! You got some wonderful things and I am excited for you :)
Wow, I just love shops like that. Love the red chicken and glass set!
love your good deals, love gardner village, love that my son just bought a home a couple of blocks from there. another excuse to go visit him. kill two birds with one stone!
Hi Julie!! I hope you're still enjoying your treasures and are having a great afternoon!
Be a sweetie,

I have a red hen dish exactly like yours! I think they are so pretty.
You really found some interesting finds. I believe the grizzly lamp is my favorite.
Have a great day.

Hi Julie!
Love all the 'dorable stuff you got. How fun!! Gardener Village is one of our favorite places to go too! Always fun and great things to see:)

Don't you just love treasure hunting? You did good!!
Love this post and this blog!! LOVE the red chicken! I do have a thing for red glass! Will be back!
oh dearest,
The heat is great...but I am soooo tired...even resorted to plunking the lawn chair in the creek to cool my toes...when my husband came into the back yard and asked what I was doing, I simply told him there was another chair for him over there...I'm sure the neighbors think we are CrAzY...oh well, it's too hot to be sane...
...xoxo...Rosie
You found some lovely things Julie and I especially like the glass chicken.I used to have a china one like that but where it went to I don't know! Now...what we all want to know is... what did you say to your hubby to make hime smile?!! wink,wink!..and what a gorgeous smile he has too!
Bellaboo :0)
WOW! being new to Utah I have never been to that place...I see a day trip in my future....You both look so happy to get away together....I am happy for you!
My goodness, you got a lot of great finds!
I love Gardner Village. I used to live not far from there when I lived in Utah. I love your typewriter! I saw one on Craigslist for 25.00 but the seller never got back to me..sad face...
Fun blog! I'll be back!
Laura
What awesome finds! I love the red glass chicken and that old typewritter is so cool! That shop looks wonderful!
Manuela
I love Gardner Village especially Pine Needles Quilt Shop. I will be visiting grandbabies in Sept. and will definitely go to Pine Needles. Thanks for sharing your travels. It gives me ideas of places to see when I am in Utah. DUP Museum is one of my favorite places that I recently found and I always have to drive around the Temple in SLC.
