🚗🐥 Pickin’ Chicks Road Trip! 🐥🚗

The Pickin Chicks hit the road today for a little shopping, eating, and inspiration in New Glarus, Wisconsin! 🇨🇭❤️

What a FUN day exploring this adorable town! We browsed through charming shops, enjoyed some amazing food, and especially loved chatting with fellow shop owners. There’s just something special about supporting small businesses and seeing all the creative things other shop owners are doing. 🛍️✨

Here’s just a little sneak peek at today’s adventure!

🍔 A huge thank you to Sportsman’s Reloaded Bar & Grill for a wonderful lunch!

And we definitely did our share of shopping at:
🛍️ Hutch + Hide
Alpenhaus Market
Lollygag Antiques
A Well Worn Story

We may have come home with a few treasures… because really, could you expect anything less from the Pickin Chicks? 😉🐥

New Glarus, you were SO much fun! We’ll be back!

✨ MUST HAVE MONDAY: A VERY SPECIAL COLLECTION ✨

This week’s Must Have Monday is a little different and very special to us. ❤️

We have been given the privilege of handling the estate of Jane Kiley, a beloved member of the Rockford and surrounding communities for many years. Jane had an eye for beautiful things and collected wonderful pieces throughout her life. Now, we have the honor of finding new homes for many of those treasures.

And trust us… there are some TREASURES. 😍

Among Jane’s collections were an incredible assortment of MacKenzie-Childs pieces and a large collection of beautiful quilts, including vintage and hand-stitched pieces.

👀 These photos are just a SNEAK PEEK of what will begin arriving at The Pickin Chicks this week!

🖤 MacKenzie-Childs cookware
♟️ Serving bowls & decorative pieces
💕 Colorful MacKenzie-Childs canisters
🧵 Beautiful handmade & vintage quilts
🏡 And so much more from Jane’s home and collections!

And quilt lovers, you’ll want to watch our page closely! 🧵❤️

A much larger collection of Jane’s quilts will be featured in an ONLINE AUCTION beginning this weekend! We’ll be sharing all the details and the auction link soon.

So for this Must Have Monday, we’re celebrating more than beautiful things. We’re celebrating a woman who appreciated them, collected them, and cared for them.

We can’t wait to share Jane Kiley’s wonderful collections with you and give these special pieces the chance to become part of someone else’s home and story. ❤️

✨ Watch our page this week for more sneak peeks!
✨ MacKenzie-Childs arriving in the shop!
