LADY ANTIQUE DEALER: A Day In the Country

http://ladyantiquedealer.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-day-in-country.html

Anything Old Is Fair Game. Saturday, April 25, 2015. A Day In the Country. Dear One and I spent a day in the country yesterday- enjoying friends and fresh air and flowers and clearing our heads from a pretty intense week. We started at the small garden antiques fair at Blumen Gardens in Sycamore. We met up with four friends and moved on to a delish breakfast nearby. How do you say omlettes the size of hubcaps at Eggsclusive Cafe? Thanks friends. Great day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Northern Ill...

LADY ANTIQUE DEALER: Easter and the Forgotten Man

http://ladyantiquedealer.blogspot.com/2015/04/easter-and-forgotten-man.html

Anything Old Is Fair Game. Saturday, April 4, 2015. Easter and the Forgotten Man. Dear One and I have just returned from a beautiful spring trip to Sicily. My next few posts will highlight some aspects of our travel- but because this is Easter weekend, I wanted to post first about a treasure in Palermo that we were able to see- San Guiseppe dei Teatini or the Church of St. Joseph of Teatini Palermo. This church, built in 1612 by Giacomo Bosio is one of the most significant baroque churches in Sicily.

LADY ANTIQUE DEALER: It's a Dog's Life

http://ladyantiquedealer.blogspot.com/2015/02/its-dogs-life.html

Anything Old Is Fair Game. Monday, February 16, 2015. It's a Dog's Life. This is the time of year when many people enjoy watching the professional dog show competitions on television. While I love dogs and had a special one all my growing up years- I am not a fan of seeing dogs put through what they go through to compete. I know the dogs are very well treated- but- they should be enjoying themselves- yes, having a dog's life. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Older Lady Antique Dealer Posts. There are ...

LADY ANTIQUE DEALER: Reflecting on Quiet Times

http://ladyantiquedealer.blogspot.com/2015/03/reflecting-on-quiet-times.html

Anything Old Is Fair Game. Thursday, March 5, 2015. Reflecting on Quiet Times. As the grip of midwestern winter just seems to hang on this year- I am using this late winter time for some quiet reflection on a few matters, concerning antiques and otherwise. The antique business has a particular frenzy for us these past two months. Thank heavens. Frenzy means buying opportunities and most importantly sales. Not sure what is up- but we are happy for it. It means running around to sales, auct...Not many fres...

LADY ANTIQUE DEALER: Madison's Odana Antique Mall Gets It Right

http://ladyantiquedealer.blogspot.com/2011/06/madisons-odana-antique-mall-gets-it.html

Anything Old Is Fair Game. Friday, June 17, 2011. Madison's Odana Antique Mall Gets It Right. So many antique malls and centers these days DON'T get it right- I am happy to be part of a shop that DOES get it right. Since February, Dear Husbola and I have had a small space at the Odana Antique Mall on Odana Road on the west side of Madison Wisconsin. We have had our eye on this shop for several years- and this year was the time to pursue a space- and happily- a small space became available this winter.

LADY ANTIQUE DEALER: Which Twin Has the Toni? Sicilian Style

http://ladyantiquedealer.blogspot.com/2015/04/which-twin-has-toni-sicilian-style.html

Anything Old Is Fair Game. Monday, April 20, 2015. Which Twin Has the Toni? People of a certain age will remember the American television advertisement campaign of the last part of the 1960s- Two usually very blonde and very lovely young women had identical bubble bouffant hairdos. They were pictured on out of sight swivel chairs and they spun around while the announcer asked "which twin has the toni? So- which twin has the toni? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

LADY ANTIQUE DEALER: A Very Expensive Hat

http://ladyantiquedealer.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-very-expensive-hat.html

Anything Old Is Fair Game. Monday, June 8, 2015. A Very Expensive Hat. June 18, 1815 is the two hundred anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. Few pieces of clothing are as iconic as Napoleon's bicorn that he wore in that distinctive sideways style. NO ONE wore the bicorn that way- everyone else wore theirs with the points front to back. But egocentric Bonaparte wanted to be able to be recognized on the battlefield. He was 5'6"- which actually was not short for the period. Older Lady Antique Dealer Posts.

LADY ANTIQUE DEALER: What is Dreck?

http://ladyantiquedealer.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-is-dreck.html

Anything Old Is Fair Game. Friday, July 10, 2015. Worthless, distasteful or nonsensical material. Trash or rubbish. Depending on what dictionary you check, the definition of dreck gets worse and worse. No dictionary tells you that it multiplies on its own. And worse yet, when left alone in dark garages, basements and closets, it morphs into huge piles that threaten to spill into your living spaces. (cue JAWS movie music here). But where does all this stuff come from? Inventory birth control is needed!

LADY ANTIQUE DEALER: I am the Last to the Party

http://ladyantiquedealer.blogspot.com/2015/02/i-am-last-to-party.html

Anything Old Is Fair Game. Monday, February 23, 2015. I am the Last to the Party. I am frequently slow on the uptake. Friends know I don't own a book reader or a smart phone. They know Dear Husbola and I don't own a DVR, don't know how to stream a movie and could not name a current television program. We don't eat sushi unless it is the "cooked" kind. I don't devulge this in some sort of holier than thou fashion. We just can't find any reason to add these things in our life. Vintage English Ham Stand.
