ACORN'S ANTIQUES, THE ONLY PLACE TO BE THIS WEEKEND!

PUMPKIN'S INTO COACHES

When I stopped by today to drop off a batch of New Century Collectors for the November Acorn’s Antiques show, the place was a madhouse.  Scores of dealers hauling tables, display cases and merchandise into the building to prepare for tomorrows show opening.  It was frenzy.  I took a second to reflect on how lucky I was to be there, most collectors never get a peek at the business end of an antiques show.  And it is something to see.

Set up day at the antiques show!  I couldn’t help but smile, it doesn’t get any more exciting than this.  Aisles are stuffed and cluttered with dusty old furnishings, and the aroma of polish wafts through the air offering an irresistible come on.  Elsewhere, tables stacked high with nondescript tubs, crates, and chaos belie the treasures secreted within, and anxious dealers do their fairy godmother best to turn the pumpkin into an elegant coach.

 

If you hang around long enough, it’s like watching a caterpillar become a butterfly. Disorganization giving way to order, with row after row of miniature antique shops emerging  from the confusion, primped and preened, wearing their Sunday best, and ready for business.  When collectors pour through the doors the tomorrow morning, there won’t be a sign of set up day carnage.  Now the real fun begins.

 

 

 

Acorns is Utah's biggest, most diverse antiques show. You don't want to miss this one

 If you look hard enough, you're sure to find something to take home.

Oops..... NO BIG MISTAKES, JUST BITS AND PIECES

For almost 50 years, I have relied on my wife Lyn, to keep my feet out of the quicksand. She makes copious lists,  color coded files,  event calendar entries, and turns me around when I'm about ready to stumble off a cliff.  Inversely, I walk about with all of life's minutia swarming around my head like a cloud of brine flies at the lake.  As you might guess, Lyn proofs & makes corrections to the NEW CENTURY COLLECTOR the final morning before I send each edition off to the printer.

 

REMEMBER, YOU CAN'T JUST SCAN IT... YOU HAVE TO READ IT! These were Lyn's parting words as she headed out the door for an unscheduled early meeting, leaving me, more neophyte than old hand, to take care of proofing the November edition.  

 

Well, my apologies to the folks down at BITS & PIECES, Salt Lakes newest antiques and vintage shop. I scanned.   We had errors regarding address, and hours in this months COLLECTOR.  The shop is really located at 1528 So. Major Street (35 E.) in Salt Lake.  And, you can still make their grand opening weekend Tomorrow & Saturday (November 4-5) from 10:00 until 6:00 o'clock. I stopped in this morning, and know you'll like it.

  

 

PLEASE FORGIVE ANY ERRORS IN THE ABOVE TEXT...

LYN IS STILL AT WORK.
