Summer antiquing: Western Reserve Academy 2010
On Labor Day, we attended our second antique fair at Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio. Again, lots of interesting, quality (Albeit expensive) items were to be had.
One vendor had a really cool display of handmade string instruments.
Right next to the instruments, hung this awesome advertisement. Is that cowgirl the spittin' image of Nicole Kidman, or what! I shoulda bought it.
Here's the other arrow sign that I mentioned in the Zoar post. We came across it again later in the month at the Great Geauga Antique fair and came thisclose to buying it. Maybe third time will be the charm.
Check out this retro aisle marker! Again, love to have one, but what would we do with it? We don't have a plush animal aisle in our home. [peers into Lauren's room] On second thought, maybe we do.
A genuine RCA dog!
One vendor had her stall set up like a child's bedroom, complete with a darling assortment of children's clothing.
These shows always have something for the taxidermy fans. Nice to know that Lauren is about the size of a bear cub.
These dapper gentlemen entertained us with their mighty fine jazz tunes. Seems someone enjoys their Crown Royal.
Remember what it was like to eat in your high school cafeteria? To stare wistfully at the painted portraits of the great men and woman (purposefully singular) who came before you? To dine at large oak tables while chandeliers hung from above, casting a warm glow upon your lunch? No? Me neither.

I think that about does it for this year's antiquing. But don't be sad - it'll be summer again before we know it!
