Just a few more days...SPRINGFIELD EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

Well...I can't believe it, but it's almost here (just around the corner, you might say) - our favorite show ever...the SPRINGFIELD EXTRAVAGANZA. This fleamarket and antique show is one of the largest in the midwest - and, in May and September over 2000 vendors gather to sell their wares - from garage sale finds to fine antiques - and LOTS of stuff in between.

Nostalgia's Cottage (that's me and Terri!) will be in our usual spot - with some awesome stuff. We've been shopping/collecting/repurposing/painting...etc., etc. all summer long - AND, we've got a bit of a new look too. I'll show you "some" pics of what you'll find!



Anyway...first the details:

Who: All lovers of junk and antiques

When: September 18-20, 2009 (here's the website to get hours, directions, etc...) http://www.springfieldantiqueshow.com/

Where: Clark County Fairgrounds, Springfield, Ohio

Why: ...just purely the love of the hunt!!!

Where we'll be: spaces 828 & 851 - near the Mercantile Building (if you send me your email address, I can send you a map showing exactly where we're located)

And here's some of the great stuff we'll be selling:

A fabulous child's wardrobe..

A very sweet Victorian plant stand (it has porcelain wheels)

Here's a sofa table that we made from pieces and parts of a larger (very broken down) farm table - so, now we have two sofa tables...very cool, don't ya think?

A corner curio stand

An old radio cabinet...turned curio cabinet...

A great French Provincial vanity (the top flips open to reveal storage and a mirror)

A couple chairs (notice the one on the right isn't painted...it had a wonderful worn patina that didn't want to be covered up)!

OK - here's the most fabulous chair ever (we think so anyway...) - We covered this (and another one) with vintage linens, lace, buttons, etc...for your shabby delight!!!

And...here's the back side

Here are samples of some of Terri's fabulous jewelry pieces - mixing vintage and new - creating one of a kind treasures! (the pics are from a previous show - everything will be new for Springfield) A sample of the button bokays I've made...

Here are a few I've made

A close up peek...A paperweight filled with vintage buttons
Here are some lamps I've "redecorated"

Some beautiful flow blue dishware

A scale...everybody loves a scale!!

Yep, we've got clocks too...

A typewriter or two...

Enamelware

Well...that's all folks...well maybe not quite all - there are silver platters, mirrors, wire cloches, and SO MUCH MORE!- we've actually got our trailer packed to the brim, and plan on packing up another vehicle before it's over (we just got a new batch of stuff over the weekend...).

And don't forget the wonderful diner dishes from my prior post...they're waiting for a party!!!

So far the weather report is showing us beautiful early fall weather - another reason to get out and shop the Extravaganza...and did I mention we've got the BEST fair food ever??? Enough said! Hope you can make it!

Bye for now!

Kathy & Terri

P.S. I'm really hoping to meet some of my blogging friends, as well as members of JUNKMARKET Style!!

OK...I'm going, really - there are still last minute things to finish...

Hugs!
