Of Acorns and Goslings


 What a fun, fun weekend ... three days of hanging out with old antiqueing friends, and meeting new friends too!! 
I am including some shots of my booth for this post, and will share some other goodies at the show later this week.

The clock shelf was a lot of fun ... I can't seem to stop buying them.  They always looks so good in groupings.  The large alarm clock, just below the safari hat, sold to a girl who is doing a Alice in Wonderland theme baby shower ... what a fun, fun idea! 

As you can see, I made use of my mix and match pennant banners again, and got a special order to make one for one customer, while another said she wished I just had individual letter pennants so she could buy ones to spell what she wants ... what a great idea ...

 
This great antique funeral flower tin basket got a lot of attention, but it always does, decorated with one of Karen's great French label designs from Graphics Fairy.  Isn't the table it sits on charming?  That was a find at Fleattitude a couple of weeks ago.


 And just for fun, let me introduce you to a couple of interesting people I met at the show.  Above is Gertrude the Goose, whose people adopted her as a hatchling and raised her like a child so that she accepts them as her parents.
 
To the right is a dear lady that I met that is definitely a kindred spirit.  I love her black and white style!!
 
My antique show partner, Bruce, brought in some old store stock letters and numbers.  Not all letters were available, but I was able to spell Pollyanna ... in a future post I will share how I have decided to use them.
 
Thanks for coming along to take a peek at the show, I hope you got a sense of how much fun it is to be a dealer in an antique show!!

    1. The goose was very cool, and would let you pet his chest ... I just can't imagine cleaning up after him in the house.

    1. Closer to you than to me, as she is from somewhere around Ogden. I never cease to be amazed at what I see at Antique Shows.

    1. Yes, that dealer really is an odd duck, or should I say goose?
