Verdict: you can do way, way worse at Bayshore. Francesa's is cute, cozy, and has some great ladies' stuff (and also, some great sales should your timing be on).

It was a little busy and a little cramped on the day we came through here. But we only gave it 5 minutes of our time so I won't be too harsh. Extremely friendly, so bumped up to 4 from the 3 I was aiming for.

This one is in the fancy outdoor mall in Glendale which is north of Milwaukee. They have a ton of good stuff in here and it's not a bad little place to get your expensive clothing but Barbie never finds anything she likes in here cuz it's just not scandalous and stripper enough for her. They were very friendly though. Parking is really tricky at this location and this mall in general and there's a Trader Joe's here what more do you need to know. Look out. (Get out).

I become mezmorized by their chic look and decide to take a peek but everything is so expensive and boring. Well, I was mezmorized again by their window mannequin and walked in today just to peruse the racks. To my great surprise, I met the most wonderful (and pretty!) associate ever, Liz! It is the first time I've seen a pretty, young and truly friendly associate at WHBM. As shallow as I may sound, I'm not interested in an old woman showing me today's fashion. I'm in my 20's. Can I really trust a 50+ woman's opinions on clothing? No. At least I cannot. Anywhooo! Liz greeted me within 30 seconds of me walking into the store, asked what my likes and dislikes were, then proceeded to put together outfits for me. I am somebody who does not like to accessorize so I preferred clothing that is not require me to wear jewelry; splashes of color, multi fabric clothing, etc. Liz completely understood what I meant and put together multiple outfits for me without hesitation. I'd say I'm pretty picky about my style and Liz did an awesome job choosing some pretty damn near perfect outfits. She even guessed my size right! Liz did not overwhelm me while I was in the dressing room. She gave me great ideas and picked up on my interests. Liz was extremely helpful and even offered to assist me anytime I wanted her help at White House Black Market. She literally said, "free to call the store and ask if I am working that day. I will put together a few outfits for you and have them waiting so that when you walk in, you can go straight into the dressing room." Did I mention that I just bought two outfits for under $80? Did I mention that Liz is my most favorite sales associate ever in the whole wide world?!

Only open sometimes, blink and you'll miss it. I really enjoyed perusing and taking it all in... they've got some really neat pieces, though nothing jumped out at me this visit as a "must have." And honestly, I couldn't help but feel like everything was priced just *a touch* too high. Totally understand paying for quality antiques in relatively perfect condition, but this spot felt almost like everything was priced $50-$100 above fair market value.

If you're into 50-60's glass, lamps, décor and furniture this is absolutely a place you should be checking out. They've got tons of interesting barware, lamps shaped like flamingos, beer signs for your awesome basement bar and lots of tacky paintings. I was surprised by how much furniture they had - console tables, tons of side chairs and the kind of horribly patterned upholstered sofas that my grandma referred to as "davenports". Speaking of my grandma, I'm pretty sure she owned most of this stuff at some point, especially the matador figurines because bullfighting??? IDK, never could quite figure out what theme grandma had going on in her living room. Anyway, I'd agree with Rachel that the prices on stuff here seem to be higher than at other vintage/antique shops. I'm guessing the high amount of vintage-loving hipsters in BV are driving prices up. Also be aware that the shop is PACKED full, so it's not a great place for smaller kids.

So much to drool over. So much!! I will have to save some for next year and spoil myself with some really neat finds. There are lots of different styles and types of things being sold. Things for children and adults. Unique items and antique items. Some true artisans making fabulous items. Expect to pay for them. There were original painted and sculpted pieces going for hundreds of dollars. And then little vintage tins for 50 cents. One range to another price wise. I loved some things that I wish I could have gotten. There were food trucks INSIDE the sports complex and coffee and popcorn and more. It was really fun for me, but I love looking at all the different and unique items. Everyone there seemed to enjoy it and were walking with bags!!! All a good sign that the venders did well. There was an Old Fashion candle I now wish I had bought. Can't stop thinking about the smell. Ahhhhhh! I plan to go again.

Held at the Franklin Sports Complex, the space is large and parking lot was full when we arrived just after 10am. There's a small entry fee, but it was well worth it to access all of these creative vendors in one space. With 150 vendors, it's impossible to list everything that's available but a short list might be: handmade soaps and candles, jewelry, paintings, postcards & magnets, upcycled wine bottle candles and glasses, repurposed metal and wood art, salvaged antiques, creative air plant displays, and much more. There's a good mix of vendors to please the young and old. My parents and I both found things to fit our tastes. There's plenty of Wisconsin love and local sports team products to check off anyone on your Christmas list. While we missed the consignment area in the front, there are hourly raffles that are free- so put your name in to win some of the objects on sale in the hall. There's a small amount of food offerings, which could be expanded! We didn't see that there were beer and Mimosas until we were leaving. That might have loosened our wallets! Looks like this event happens again January 28-29, 2017, in April, and perhaps again in November. So check their website or 88.9 Radio Milwaukee or WMSE for announcements.
