Clover Market -- The Photos, Part 2

So, Clover Market finally arrives! Fantabulous day, although not as warm as we may have liked. Probably kept some people away, but still a decent crowd. Well-run, well-organized, and so much fun (kudos to Janet who ran the whole shebang)!

Lots of work beforehand, but worth the effort. Some of that work, like making tags and pricing, are now done and won't have to be done again the next time.

And there will probably be a next time, since our trunks are still filled with junk!

We did sell a ton of stuff, and it would be great if we had a trailer and could just keep all of the priced and tagged stuff in that trailer and park it in our driveway. But we don't, and after our long day at the show we had to unload all that stuff AGAIN and put it away in the garage. Oy, my aching back!

We had two spots, so one booth held my plate trays, doorknob stoppers, and rings made from vintage earrings and buttons. I'm hoping someday my hoard of vintage jewelry parts and rosary beads will find their way out of the bags and boxes and into a necklace or two.

The best part was meeting up with some old and new friends, including the bloggy ones. Finally got to meet Colleen (and her sister Erin) of Fresh Vintage, and Allison of Nanny Goat Antiques. A special shout out to my pal Karen for hanging out and helping with the staging.

The other side of the booth held our de-stash of antique and vintage goodness. Cut-glass lamps, retro clocks, metal fans, folding rulers, dove-tailed boxes, shabby tables…

Stacks of suitcases, etched mirrors, colorful firkins and buckets, metal coolers, chippy frames…

Decorative shelves, tin canisters, silver urns, metal trays, ironstone pitchers, silver chalkboard trays…

I think my favorite sale was the typewriter I purchased in Bouckville this summer that Mr. VJIMT lugged irritably reluctantly helpfully back to the car for me. I was vindicated when it sold early and for a hefty profit! My first “woo-hoo” of the day!

All in all, a great time and successful first show escapade. See more photos here on Clover Market's Facebook fan page!
