Extravaganza

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.

  6. Two 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

  7. To "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.
