We're Back from Indiana!

Is there a better way to get in the mood for an antique show than following an old-timer car! No it's not mine, I don't know them, but I love the car!
Their friends were right behind them. I love this car too!

We made it to Elizabethtown, Indiana in about 5 hours. The speed limit sign slows you down so you don't miss the town!

This barn is the antique shop "Nichols n Dimes" where the show was held. Judy and Bob Nichols have some of the most beautiful property I've seen in a long time. Gary took a lot of pictures of the gardens and I'll save them for another post.

You don't see many barns with the vibrant red paint anymore. It is beautiful.

A huge tent and some smaller ones were set up between Judy's house and the barns. It used to be the pasture for her sheep.

We were in the right corner of the big tent. It was a great spot!

Here are some pictures of our booth. Gary found this old rooster weathervane on a farm here is Illinois. Someone shot part of the tail off, but it is still awesome. It has aged very nicely! The old farm table is so sturdy you could dance on it. The chairs are mustard in color with stencil.

Pictures of smalls including silver and ironstone platters.

I had all kind of small things in little bags and seed packets too---all clipped on this rack.

This big cage is from the same farm as the rooster weathervane. It has a perch inside, so it must have been used for some sort of fowl or poultry.

A trunk on a trunk. The bottom one sold. Yippee!

Gary loves old iron things like this arrow. We have a guy that makes the stands for things like this. Gary is a nut about whirligigs too.

Another shot of the booth. It was only 10 x 20 so we crammed it full as usual.

This folky little airplane is made out of old things like bolts and nuts. It is really cool.

The grungy green painted shutters went to a new home. The different thing about this sale is that the hubby saw them, put a hold on them, and called his wife. Usually it's the other way!

Who doesn't love these old lawn chairs. And the colors were terrific. They sold too! Actually, they sell themselves. Great color and all you have to do is get the customer to sit in them!

All in all we had a great time, the weather held out for us even during travel. I think it's good to be back home---I haven't decided yet.

Until next time,

Pam
