Christie Antique Show 2013

A friend and I attended this show yesterday. Brrr, the weather was sunny with a brisk wind that made us wish we had brought our gloves. So many wonderful dealers with so many treasures! We wore out our legs and eyes! 

We tried to restore ourselves with sausage on a bun and fresh cut fries. Is there a way to purge my arteries today from all that delicious greasiness?

We both found some small items to take home – ironstone and silver-plate pieces and, of course, some paper and lace treasures for me.    Here are some photos or our day.

Can’t wait for the Fall show!

A Day in the Country Sale and The Greensville Antique Show and Sale

I am coming out of blogging lethargy to post about two great sales my friend, Cynthia, and I attended yesterday. 

The first show of the day is called A Day in the Country Sale hosted by Kim Davies of Tattered and Torn.

Such a feast for the eye to see so many wonderful items beautifully displayed. The photographs above are from the booths of various dealers including The Primitive Heart,  The Eclectic Pelican and Tattered and Torn.

After purchasing a few lace treasures here, we made our way to The Greensville Antique Show and Sale a few miles away. This show presented another feast of textiles, buttons, clothing and related items. It seemed to be the day to find great bits of handmade lace pieces and we both scored some nice bits.

 
To cap off the hunt for antiques, we made our way to Taylor’s Tea Room in Dundas, Ontario for lunch. Highly recommended!

We were back home mid-afternoon tired but happy!
