Have a great holiday to those celebrating! I had a busy week! The McCobb bench is on it's way to Chicago and the lucite and brass table is packed and being picked up next Wednesday. That said, we did not ship the 52" glass top and my buyer is replacing with a larger one. If you are regional to me and need a round glass top and this 1/2" thick beauty will do, $100 and it is yours. Let me know!

Spring shopping here in Berks County and into Lancaster county is picking up and in a few weeks there is a big Extravaganza weekend. You will want to come by Renninger's Kutztown renningers.net for Thurs, Friday, Saturday shopping the weekend of April 27, 28 and 29th, then head to Adamstown Sunday 30th. I don't find tons of mcm furniture at these events but there are great finds to be had. Here's some lists of area thrifts in case you can make it to our area.

ADAMSTOWN

just south of Reading is Antique Mecca in ADAMSTOWN. Prices are high here but it is worth picking around. I have found deals! Definitely check out Mad Hatter Antiques as there is the most kick ass MCM booth in the back with the most CatherineHolm you will ever see! You can pick up a map there for all area stores. I have never done more that 2 in a day and you could seriously spend days there. In the summer, nearby Shrupps Grove has become my favorite flea market. I think they are closed for the season now.

You could say I just shared my shopping secrets with you, but I assure you, these days I am shopping estate sales and people are connecting me to others selling so no worries, they are no secret! 😜✌️

i will be headed to Maryland once again for the MidAtlantic Pyrex Swap near Baltimore. Had a blast last year and looking forward to seeing folks I know, fellow dealers and make new friends. It is a fun trip and hope to find a few more snowflakes I need for my collection, make some trades and come home with some fun stuff.

Our Saturday space at Columbus Flea in NJ last weekend.

A friend and I just sold some stuff at the Columbus Flea Market in Columbus, NJ near Trenton. It was a huge market, Sunday being the better day. If you are in the region it is a great day trip.

i have tons to do today so off I go. Reach out if I can help you with anything!
