Recovering from Coburg

This was a last minute idea I wanted handy man to build, he wasn't thrilled at the idea of building it two days before the show, but we loved how it turned out but




my favorite customers!! because they brought my grand baby :)

Wow what a show! We got set up just in time for the hoards of shoppers. We set up a cottage display and had three spaces filled with goods. I am such a bad photographer that I totally forgot to take pictures. Here are just a couple we got. The sale was fabulous and we enjoyed the great customers and sunshine. Thanks to all who came out

Coburg Antique Show, Countdown time

We are rapidly approaching the annual Coburg Antique Show. This wonderful one day show is one of the largest on the West Coast. There are 350 dealers, food booths Music and lots of fabulous finds. We have been venders there for the past 10 years but I must say it is torture-some to not shop this show. Normally my older daughters help so we can go out for small shopping breaks, this year however they have jobs of their own and won't be available. Guess that means we will sit tight and sell rather than buy.
This is a great show for dealers as there are thousands of people who save their money all year to spend here. We have been working hard preparing lots of fun new items. I dont have many photos , but I am loving some of our tables ,cupboards and other furniture pcs.
Make sure and save the date! This Sunday September 11, opens at 8 but the hard core come as early as 4 am.

As we prepare for Our Coburg sale , my Handyman , is putting together some awesome tables and blending together other iron stands and bases with planks of old wood to produce functional industrial home furnishings. The wonderful thing about the industrial style is its ability to withstand time. Every item is so incredibly durable and, I must add heavy
