Went to SERENDIPITY FARM

FIRST…I want to say that I don’t know why Blogger or Google+ doesn’t let some of you post a comment.
I have it open to ANYONE except ‘anonymous’.
And…some of you are getting a ‘no-reply’ and I’ve been seeing that more and more.
I’ve done all the ‘fixes’ I can think of.  So…if you can’t comment, just send me an email – I’d still love to hear from you!

Pineapple line art

Oh what an experience – but you really need to go there to get the real feel…the pictures don’t do it justice…if there is ‘justice’ to a place like this…basically all I saw was ‘stuff’ but others might see ‘treasures’.
There are buildings and stuff everywhere, so one would think it’s chaos…but HIPPY TOM has it all in order according to him.

If you are not familiar with’ Hippy Tom’ he was on American Pickers quite awhile back and since then he has become even more popular

I went to his place about 30 years ago when it was just a large building and he sold lots of perennials and annuals and a little yard art. Goodness has it grown since.  Not sure why I haven’t been to his place since because it’s just the next town over!

Normally we see him at the Elkhorn flea market and he has some nice things to pick through but I didn’t really see one thing that caught my eye except for a stained glass window – oh how I would to have  brought it home but there’s no place to put it so it stayed.

Hippy Tom being over run with questions – and I’d like to say…he’s one of the nicest people I’ve met.  He lives with his wife in a beautiful old house on the property.

There were so many things I could have taken pictures of but I like the buildings the best.

Hope you enjoyed your tour of Serendipity Farm – if you get in the area of his next show stop in and see what new things Hippy Tom has.
