What If They Had a Show and No One Came?

This was the view of the walkway much of the time at the Lake Geneva Antique Show & Sale. They can't all be winners and sometimes doing "okay" has to be viewed as a major victory!  It came to light during the event that much of the advance advertising went out with the wrong dates on it.  

Among the meager crowd, The Frightened Hare of Racine found buyers for some of their beautiful furniture. 

Below, John of Christopher & Leveille assists a customer with a purchase.

The content of the show was skewed heavily toward the wealthy mature buyer. Booth after booth was loaded with fine jewelry and silver.

It was nice to see a couple of my regulars there, and fun to meet a few others that appreciated my honest  old survivors.

Come see us again...at another venue!

54th Annual Lake Geneva Antique Show & Sale

The Lake Geneva Antique Show & Sale kicks off with a preveiw party this Thursday evening, and continues through Saturday.  Friends Pam, John & Cody will be showing there also. My space consists of two small areas in the loge section which can best be compared to European flower stalls.  Each small space has a front counter and narrow shelves on the back & side walls.  One has a beautiful view of the courtyard.

This is a small show, and a different type of event for me.  I'll be taking some things that haven't been out before including this magnificent table-top jewelers case...

and these amazing early classroom charts

A luncheon will be available for purchase on Friday.  (Be sure to save room for dessert!)

Northwind Show Continues Today
