Weekend Antique Show Finds

Lots of sparkling vintage pretties found their way into my studio this weekend!

I attended a local 3 Day Antique and Collectible show that is a must on my shopping list every year.

This year I changed things up a bit. Typically I go on the last day of the show because I believed that you could get the best bargains on the final afternoon. I always found a few treasures and never went home disappointed.

However, this year I went for the 3 hour preview show that was held the evening before the show started. What a difference!! The vendor booths were packed with great finds and I found many items that I know would not still be there if I had waited until the last day to shop. I was most surprised by the discounts I could still get. The deals were every bit as good as if I had waited until the final hours of the show.

I finally learned that when you’re shopping for special one- of- a- kind pieces, it’s best to get there before the crowd. Next time, I’ll be one of those in line waiting for the doors to open! I am excited about the pretties I came home with and will be creating new jewels from them this week. ~ xoxo ~ Joy
