Lafayette, In

Somewhere in Ohio

From the window of our hotel in Lafayette, IN. When we left NJ, weather report was 1-2 inches.  Looking at 5 inches now.  Not a fun ride pulling a trailer in a 2wd truck.  But we made it.  Sure hope the auction was worth the drive.

Off to Lafayette, Indiana for a auction

Heading to Indiana for a Saturday auction.  We've been to this New Year's auction before.  Hope to find a few good items.

Kimberton Sunday show report

Sunday is always a iffy day.  When the show first opened we had a sale.  But it wasn't until 4 pm(when the show closed) we had 3 more sales.
Overall a good show, and we did get invited back for the March show in 2018.  But we will be in the other building.  The other building matches are merchandise a little closer.  Plus we know a number of dealers there.

Kimberton Saturday report

For our first show it was a good Saturday.  A lot of sales and a lot of customers.  Many of the dealers have been during the show for 15 years and more.  But all the dealers were very friendly and helpful.  So today being Sunday, like many other shows, maybe a sale or not.   

Kimberton show setup

The space was a little different in size but it worked out well.  Loading in wasn't bad and the setup took about 5 hours.  So Saturday's show runs between 9 and 5.  We have out fingers crossed.

A view from our hotel room.

Kimberton show this weekend

A few more items that will be at the show.

Slatington update

We'll, we've been really busy and Slatington has taken a back seat for the last couple of months.  So the other day we spent some time there and re-did our booth.  Hope to get the sales back in line for this month. 

Kimberton show next weekend

Getting ready for the Kimberton show next weekend. 
We have a unusual booth size, 9ft wide by15ft long. This setup
will be, work with what you got.  But we do have all day Friday for
the setup.

Antiques at Kimberton

A short notice show for us.  There was a cancellation from one of the show dealers.  So a dealer who does the show and knows us suggested to the promoter that we could fill in.  So after a couple of emails and phone calls where in.  This show has been around for 40+ years, so there is a waiting list.  That means most likely this is a one-off event for us. 

Kutztown Extravaganza September 2017 Saturday report

Saturday I had multiple sales again.  September was a very good show for us.  Now onto Slatington.
