I took a vacation day yesterday and went to the "antique extravaganza" in Kuztown, PA. It is a huge outdoor show with hundreds of dealers. This is a great show because you never know what treasures you are going to find. I went without kids (when are we leaving? can we go now? how much longer?) or husband (how much is that? do you really need that? where are you going to put that?) and had so much fun! Sorry guys!
My husband collects vintage cameras, so I took this picture to show him. I almost always find some quilt blocks. Why do you think I picked these? Check out the leaf print, such beautiful detail .
I also found this sweet little girl's dress. I love the red and white fabric and the crocheted trim. It will look cute hanging on a peg rack.
Couldn't leave those cheddar blocks behind! :) It sounds like you had a lovely day all to yourself. -Joanne
ReplyDeleteOh, I lvoe the quilt blcoks!! The color is fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteThe little dress is adorable too. I have a small collection of antique children's clothing. So simple and cute!!
I have not been finding quilt blocks in antique shops of late. Must be lots of block collectors out there now.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great day! Love your quilt blocks and the sweet dress.
ReplyDeleteGee, I'm SO glad you took that picture of the cameras for your husband! *giggle* Looks like you made a nice haul for yourself. *grin* I love the leaf fabric, as well as the blue with the circles! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteTwo pieces from your first picture of the furniture brought back fond family memories. Thank you for that! The quilt blocks are wonderful and I'm drooling over the paisley. The little dress is a wonderful find..looks like a perfect "grandma made this" with the crocheted trim. Fantastic day for you! Mary
ReplyDeleteTo "Love": my husband can say: "you went to a great antique show and all I got was this lousy photo". Maybe I could put in on a t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful day off, it's a great way to use it! The quilt blocks are wonderful and the little dress is quite a find. It is beautiful. Everyone needs a day to themselves once in a while, glad you had such a good time.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks and the dress are great finds. Lucky you. It sounds like a show to make the trip for!
ReplyDeleteLove the antique blocks! I understand about leaving everyone behind once in a while when you really want to get some good shopping done;) Glad you had fun;)
