45 CONTINUED ON PAGE 46 HISTORIC THIRD WARD Just south of Downtown, this vibrant former wholesale and manufacturing district is enjoying a sparkling renaissance, with shops, galleries and restaurants. Don't miss the round of spe- cial events held here. BREW CITY BEER GEAR has set up a new shop at the Milwaukee Public Market, 400 N. Water St. While the market has always been a great place to eat like a cheesehead, you can now score a Wisconsinite "look" as well. EAST TOWN WOMEN'S SHOP, 159 N. Broadway, located on the first floor, is the Milwaukee area's oldest and finest resale shop. You'll find the finest designer and name brand fashions. Right next door is BANGLES & BAGS, a jewelry, handbag and accessory boutique for those looking for an affordable way to accessorize. The arrangement of items in color group- ings makes this a fun as well as budget-friendly stop. Also look for locations in Waukesha, 307 W. Main St.; Delafield, 611 Main St.; Cedarburg, W63 N672 Washington Ave.; Wauwatosa,1504 Underwood Ave. and Oconomowoc, 148 E. Wisconsin Ave. WALKER'S POINT/ FIFTH WARD RIVERVIEW ANTIQUE MARKET at 175 S. Water St. hosts 50 dealers from throughout Wisconsin. In 15,000 square feet of space, you will find small and large items in all price ranges. CEDARBURG Famous for its historic limestone buildings, Cedarburg provides a small town getaway, only 20 minutes north of Milwaukee. At the corner of Washington and Spring is the General Store Museum, which includes the CEDARBURG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & VISITOR CENTER. For more information, call 262-377-5856 or (800-CDR-BURG) or visit cedarburg.org. We love the natural light and "art gallery vibe" of the BANGLES & BAGS location at W63 N6672 Washington Ave., Cedarburg. Like all B & B locations, the arrangement by colors makes matching an accessory to that special outfit a breeze. Cedar Creek Settlement Be sure to visit this renovated 1864 woolen mill and adjacent buildings at the corner of Washington and Bridge Sts. in Cedarburg. cedarcreeksettlement.com. CEDAR CREEK WINERY provides visitors with tours and tastings, and gift boxes make a perfect "Made in Wisconsin" gift. In addition to the wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff, this winery has captured top honors at a number of competi- tions. After discovering your favorite vintage, take the short flight of stairs to go from the winery to the main part of the set- tlement to reach CEDAR CREEK POTTERY. The vast array of handmade pottery and fine craft will amaze you. "An ele- gant blend of art and function" rules here. Brides will want to take advantage of the registry to add unique items to their "wish list." On the second floor at LA DIVA, find casual yet Outdoor markets THERE'S NOTHING like an outdoor market in the sum- mertime, featuring locally grown produce, artisan cheeses and many other specialty items. In Milwaukee, you can find them in the heart of the city and in outlying areas. DOWNTOWN MILWAUKEE MARKETS Milwaukee Public Market Outdoor Market: 400 N.
