Sunday show report

Well, another typical Sunday.  A couple of sales and not many people.  This could really be a one day show. Now, onto Christmas.  Hard to believe it's in just a couple of weeks.

We came in the rain, and left in the snow.

Saturday show report

The weather was nice and it really brought out the crowds.  One of the largest I've seen in years. Our sales  are up over last year.  See what happens today.

We'll be setting up our booth later today.  Looks like it will be a rainy one.  I'll post photos tomorrow morning.

Kutztown Extravaganza September 2013 Saturday

Just when you think you got this show figured out, you get a surprise.  We had our best every Saturday in sales.  So, we'll try to keep the momentum into the Christmas show in December.

Kutztown Extravaganza September 2013 Friday

Slow as predicted.  We did sell our primitive coffee table.  Today hope to sell a little more.

Kutztown Extravaganza September 2013 Thursday

Thursday sales was about average for us.  I think the crowds are down from last year.  That might be because the weather was so nice. 2 more days to go.

Kutztown Extravaganza June 2013 last day

Saturday had a fairly large crowd and we sold a few things.  Haven't added the sales up, but I would guess we're about the same as last summer.

Kutztown Extravaganza June 2013 day 2

When it comes to Friday we are always slow, just a couple of sales.  Overall the attendance has been down compared to last summer. 
Today we general do better. 

Kutztown Extravaganza June 2013 day 1

For a summer show, day 1 was ok.  Thursday's customers are mostly dealers.  Friday and Saturday are more general public.  See what happens today.  Included the missing photo from yesterday.

The pencil collection sold fast.

Very large pencil collection

Here's something else that is planned for the show.  Almost 450 advertising pencils dating back to 1928. 

SOLD

Our booth will have a show case.  Loading and unloading is behind our spot, so including a case was possible. Otherwise the case is heavy to handle on grass or gravel.

Kutztown Antique Show Saturday

Saturday sales ended on a positive note.  You never know on the last day of the show.  Might be a little behind on last September sales, but not by much. 

Kutztown Antique Show Friday

Weather wise another perfect day.  Friday is usually slow for us, but we did have a couple of good sales. 

Kutztown Antique Show Thursday

The weather was perfect, and the good sales for the first day.

Long Valley show report

It was a very good show for us this year.  Much better than last year and equal to the year before.  Most of our sales this year ended up to other dealers.  General speaking this show for us usually represents sales to the retail public.  So dealer to dealer is a good sign.  That means their selling and need more merchandise.
In conclusion, we'll be back in 2014 for the Long Valley Antique Show.

Ready for the show
