AWESOME :)
very nice!
You guys are going to have too much fun today, Love seeing the different booths you've posted so far, Enjoy your day.
Do you have a booth? If so post please!
Also what do you see people buying? Just curious...
Thanks all for the love!
Amber, we'll try to post a photo of our booth tomorrow - it got a bit soggy today, so we didn't get a photo...lots of people here are buying "primitives" or Americana/folk art items (and lots of folks are selling that stuff too, especially early American furniture). Hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow and we'll do some more exploring!
HI there,
I have an interesting set of old toiletry bottles and was wondering if you could tell me something about them? I foudn the same exact set in jadite in the schiffer book for collectors but have not ever seen this color I have. I am a collector so I know they are authentic, but I am really stumped on this particular color being a shade of chartreuse. Let me know if you would like to see a pic.
thanks
cindy
Love this.. The color is so soothing!
