It's pickin' time. Tag along and we'll chatter up a storm about vintage shopping in the Midwest. We'll offer you some great venues

Cash always works and you may be able to haggle a better deal with it. So let's get pickin'.

If you'd rather shop from your porch swing, you'll find curated farm finds and lifestyle decor at www.savvycityfarmer.com
