Anyone need a sled.


Looking for a Christmas present to keep the kids active during the winter and out of the house. How about a sled. This selection of sleds was offered by Sniktaw Trading Co. at our October show. Hasn't snowed here yet, but still hoping for a white Christmas for Graham.

Springfield This Weekend, Nashville on my mind.


Help spread some holiday cheer at this weekend's Springfield Show. Simply bring a non-perishable food item which will be donated to local food banks, to help with their holiday programs. February Nashville is coming up, enjoy this picture from last year's show of Frank Martin and Thurston Nichol's booth.

Sleeping at the Wheel.

Okay- it's been a while and no excuses for the absence. Just been busy and not blogging. Taking some time to recharge the batteries and prepare for upcoming shows. Visit a new favorite- http://www.antiqueshowwanderer.blogspot.com/ - another view on the show business.

Nashville Customer Hosts Saturday Night Live

Over the years at our Nashville shows, many country music stars have shopped Tailgate and Music Valley. Not being much of a country music fan, I never really thought much about it. Last weekend Taylor Swift and her family shopped both shows and she was very gracious about signing autographs and taking pictures with customers and dealers. She also did a great job of hosting SNL last night. In my book country music isn't that big a deal, but hosting SNL is. Springfield is coming up in two weeks, featuring the Horn of Plenty Antiques Market in the Youth Building. Visit http://hornofplentyantiques.com

Back from Nashville

The pace at Nashville was just too much for these weary dealers, so they just gave up and expired outside their booth during set-up. Tom and Paula VanDeest were displaying a pair of fraternal skeletons, but couldn't resist taking a Halloween themed photo during set-up. Check out a bunch of pictures from the show on our Flick account.
Thanks to our photographer Michael for taking the time to take, upload and caption the photos.
