CATHIE COX........ SINCERELY VINTAGE

We thought you might like to take an early peek at the new column

that Cathie Cox will be doing for the New Century Collector.  We thought

the columns title "Sincerely Vintage", described Cathie to a tee.  The below column appears in the April issue of the NEW CENTURY COLLECTOR.

 

SINCERELY VINTAGE

by Cathie Cox

"Wide eyed wonder"

 

 As a pre-teen in the 1960’s, my heart would race with anticipation as Mom and I would drive the 10 or so miles from our suburban Detroit home to Northland, the shopping center with the department store. What usually followed was a day filled with wide-eyed browsing and  indulgent  purchasing.  Once home,  I would  remove  each  item   from its bag – to caress it. . . discover it. . . get to “know” it,  And then, feeling quite satisfied, I would revel in the delicious joy of the shopping trip. . . and start to wonder when we would go again!

Some 45 years later, my heart no longer jumps out of my chest at the thought of a day at the mall. Give me a flea market or vintage sale, however, and you’d think it was free day in the candy store for five-year-olds. Waiting for a sale is painful. A month ‘til the next flea market? Aargh! Is it worth the wait? Of course it is. I walk through the entrance with wide-eyed wonder into my candy store.

So what is it, then, about a flea market? Is it because the items have a past? A story to tell? Is it the excitement of the event, the variety to choose from, the beauty of the displays? Is it the thrill of the hunt? Answer - all of the above. And for me, the treasures at a flea market have character. I love that they have lived another life, and the rubbed edges, the rust, the stains – all show that. Like me, they are imperfect, a little rough around the edges, yet sincere. And oh my, there are so many choices. . . . Should I get the tweed suitcase, or the 50’s tablecloths? The chippy dresser? The jar of buttons? Hmm, definitely time for indulgent purchasing.

I load my treasures into the car, delighted with what I’ve found. It’s been another delicious day at the flea market. . . I wonder when I can go again?

WHY NOT CHECK OUT THE

NEW SLC VINTAGE FLEA MARKET!

The new Salt Lake Vintage Flea Market & Auction opened last weekend, so we decided to drop by and take a peek.  We were not disappointed.  Although there was still some unfilled space in the  permanent booth area, there were plenty of  vintage goodies to grab our attention. I of course headed strait to the old records, as Lyn went her own way, methodically checking booth after booth.

 

As we looked around, our thoughts kept  circling back to the specialty hot dog stand we noticed by the front door. It was inevitable, Lyn bought a couple of chotsky’s, I grabbed a couple of vintage record  albums, and we both grabbed a dog, and a clear impression that this market is going to be a hit.

 

If your looking for a great way to fill up a little of your weekend time, jump in the jalopy and get down to the new Vintage Flea Market. 

 

The Salt Lake Vintage Flea Market, owned by Wanship antiques   Dealers Will Dator & Emy Maloutas, is located at 550 W. 1300 So, and open every Saturday from 8 to 4, and Sundays from 9 to 4.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DOUBLE THE PLEASURE, DOUBLE THE FUN....

TWO ANTIQUE SHOWS IN FEBRUARY

WAS JUST THE TICKET!

 

Forget that Batman & Robin stuff; February brought Utah antiquer's the real “dynamic duo”.  If you’re the kind of guy who likes his shoes well broken in and comfortable, you probably headed to Ogden for “Acorns”, one of Utah's oldest & most respected antiques events.  If you prefer the smell of fresh leather, and worship that shine on a new pair of kicks, you were waiting in line at the Salt Lake Masonic Temple for the first peek at a new antiquing tradition.  If you were smart you didn’t miss either.

 

As always, Acorns Weber County Fairgrounds venue was filled with a cadre of local and out of state dealers offering an eager crowd antique furnishings, collectibles, decoratives and the trendiest junque. And the place was hopping. It was elbow to elbow in most of the booths, and from the looks of it, dealers brought just what the antiques hungry crowd were after, as few shoppers were not toting an a armful of packages.

 

It was cold and snowy outside as antiques & vintage dealers waited with fingers crossed to find out if collectors would brave the elements to check out the new Historic Salt Lake Antiques show.  No worry, when the doors opened, an excited crowd poured in, and kept on coming throughout the weekend. If anyone  wondered if Salt Lake City was hungry for an antiques show; they were  ravenous.  The show stopper was the venue itself, an Aztec themed ballroom in the historic Salt Lake Masonic Temple.  A series of antiques & vintage shows are on  the drawing board,  hopefully the show will become permanent.
