Saturday, my sister & I went to an antique show at a local high school. It was her alma mater, so she was interested in how it had changed. Smaller than the outdoor shows, there was still a lot to see. There wasn't as much furniture or farm implements, due to lack of space, so it was mostly decorative items, china and jewelry in a wide variety of styles. Some of the items were so large, you'd need a huge table just to hold them. Perhaps they were intended to have their own pedestal in a marble foyer?
I was pleased to see lots of animal themed stuff, that's what I mostly photographed. Loads of chickens in various media. There was an abundance of planters in various animals, the cutest being a bear cub on a log. This was one I liked a lot, Art Deco ducks with matching planter. I usually don't go for the color pink, but this was appealing for some reason.
The same vendor had a large bull, in blue glass, it must've been 2 feet long. Across the room, another person had a reclining brass bison about the same size. Had either dropped on you, they'd have done some damage.
Stay tuned to my next entry for more photos, including my favorite item of the show, as well as my purchases.
