In our first blog post, we told the story of our show’s founding – a fateful antiquing adventure that resulted in a truck full of treasures and the wild idea to start our own antique show. Now, eight years later, it’s almost impossible to believe how things have changed! While our first show started with only a handful of vendors, we expect more than 100 to participate in the May 3-4 show just three weeks from now.
Our vendors are arguably the most important part of our show – the essential ingredient that make our shows the exciting, lively, one-of-a-kind treasure hunt that they are. While our love of junking and vintage is what got us hooked into the world of antique shows, you could say that it was our vendors that kept us (and you!) coming back for more each year. With their insatiable love of antiques and an unparalleled creative eye, each vendor brings something special to each show. And ultimately, we love nothing more than surrounding ourselves with like-minded antique addicts!!
In our recent Facebook contest post, you told us just how much you love and anticipate our vendors each year with comments like the following:
