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!!
It looks like great fun! I love all your red & white pieces.
ReplyDeleteI thought the goose was stuffed!
People at the show thought so too, at first glance. Just such an unusual thing to see.
DeleteHow fun!! And no kidding about the goose?? That is so cool!
ReplyDeleteThe goose was very cool, and would let you pet his chest ... I just can't imagine cleaning up after him in the house.
DeleteYour booth is beautiful!! I especially love the red pieces!

Thanks so much, I have always had a spot somewhere in my displays that has red ... love the color.
DeleteI'm so sorry I missed it! We had to help our son and his wife move...which is not as much fun as it sounds...lol! We will be out of town until Monday...hope to get caught up with everything then. Thanks for sharing the fun pics!
ReplyDeleteSorry to have missed you, but its so important to be there for your kids, I know. Love your Ryan joke, it make me laugh out loud.
DeleteOh...and if I had a gosling...I'd name him Ryan!
ReplyDeleteWorked at Just A Bed of Roses last weekend so missed another antique show! Love that goose. Was he from around here? Mimi
ReplyDeleteCloser 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.
DeleteIt was really fun hanging out with you and Bruce at the show. I'll never look at red lace panties the same! Hahahahaha! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes, that dealer really is an odd duck, or should I say goose?
