Another One Finished

Another Christie's Show has come and gone. It was a soggy start to the day when we arrived to set up our booth on Saturday at 6:30. We didn't know quite what to do since it was raining and wood does NOT do well in the rain. So we had to set up in a way that we could keep everything covered. Our booth changed as the day changed. We were thankful when the rain calmed down later in the morning. Needless to say we made the best of it.

An array of tarps for protection from the rain.

Christie's Antique Sale

My hubbie and I have been working on some pieces for the Christie's Antique sale which will take place this Saturday Sept. 10th @ Christie's conservation area just outside of Hamilton. We are looking forward to the sale and hope for great weather and sales!

This week I'll be putting finishing touches on a few things and cleaning up some of my "smalls". When we started on this adventure of antiquing we quickly learned that to sell antique furniture it is advised to have "smalls" as well. What are "smalls" you might wonder? It is vintage or old glassware, vases, lamps, pictures, frames....anything out of the ordinary. When I'm on the lookout for these items I feel like I'm on a treasure hunt. I quite enjoy it. Here are some things that I've accumulated that I hope you find interesting.
