This is Maine's largest antique show featuring an extraordinary display of antiques and collectibles. Under tents, in the field, in the exhibition halls and throughout the animal stalls, there was something for everyone.
Come on in and take a look around!
This gal looked like a Gypsy Girl Adventurer to me...large tote bag to carry her treasures and a straw hat to protect her from the hot sun.
This hand-carved mermaid looked very comfortable among the fishing creels, and other nautical items.
What a magnificent old windmill wheel.
And an antique show would not be complete without jewelry, jewelry and more jewelry! All shapes, sizes, styles and metals. Costume to collectible. The jewelry booths were my weakness, of course!
And how could I resist the vintage linens, especially the table full of doilies.
$2 a piece or 6 for $10!
This display had vintage school spirit with the old baseball catcher's masks and helmets, a lacrosse stick, football trophies, a Princeton pennant and an old brass baritone. (I played one of those in my high school band in Freeport Maine! )
The outdoor furniture was so shabby chic!
Wire baskets, wicker furniture, wire plant stands, wooden cabinets, and so much more!
Not exactly Hollywood and Vine, but just as interesting!
And the one thing "that got away" was this beautiful head vase. I almost purchased this lovely lady to add to my collection, but decided to look around some more. When I went back to fetch her, she was gone. I only hope she went to a good home.
I was getting hungry after a couple hours of browsing the show.
Thank goodness for the food vendors! There were sausage sandwiches, fresh cut fries, fried Maine seafood, gelato, fresh squeezed lemonade and more. You would not go hungry!
Vintage doilies, buttons, costume jewelry and chandelier crystals.
I can't wait to make them into something new!
Mark your calendar... next year's show is August 8-10, 2014. Whatever your tastes, hobbies or passion, you're likely to find some treasures at this show!
