We visited The House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin today, and on the way back we drove through a tiny town called Mazomanie. Not exactly a bustling metropolis, Mazomanie is nevertheless rich with interesting and unique places, including a nice antique store and – the find of finds – a wonderful shop called Halle’s Vintage Shop.
Good fortune led to the shop being open later than its set hours on this rainy Sunday, so we were able to peruse at our leisure while the proprietress worked on a business deal. The Shoppe featured rack after rack of gorgeous vintage mens and womens clothing, hats, accessories, jewelry, shoes, and more. Prices were very acceptable, and in fact there were some very good deals to be had. We walked out with a pair of men’s lounging shoes, a lovely red and white tennis dress (or possibly waitress uniform?) a pink negligee and a pink blouse for the tiny sum of $19.75.
Mazomanie is a long way from home for me, and the route there is filled with curvy back country roads. Nevertheless, I’m already looking for an excuse to plan my next trip. What a find!
