This is the entrance to a favorite annual event in Wayne. The old building is filled with an enormous personal collection amassed by a deceased world-wide collector of seemingly everything vintage. She had enough money to never say NO to anything that interested her and owned two local buildings chock full of what-not. I have been at the door at opening time for four years now, and plan my weekend around attendance.
These lovely people drive all the way from California to put on this event. Sorry you can't see her hat well enough to see that it is adorned with magnificent, authentic, Native American turquoise pins around the entire circumference.
I was somewhat restrained this year and only half filled one Bean bag. It's mainly filled with VERY musty smelling fabrics for mifflette making. Right now they're in the washer for the second washing. It may take three to exhume the smell. But can you also see the spectacular Japanese puppets, once available in dime stores? They're AWESOME and may require a close up in a forthcoming post. There is also a fisher-price clown pull toy as the grandchildren enjoy them a lot at this age. and a fabulous anniversary gift for T that I hope he can't see too well. and a dress for me, in citron...and you can't see two fifties table lamps that will go to Pretty Marsh. It's amazing the adrenaline that is stimulated in a sale of this sort.
