Today my friends Rita, Dar and Roberta went to the Burton, Ohio Antique Show. We started the day with breakfast at a little diner called Times Square in the tiny village of Kinsman, Ohio. 
Do you know the equation for a perfect day?
Blue skies + sun + warm weather + fun friends + lots of antiques = Perfect Day
I have never seen so many antiques and yes some junk in one place! Here I'm standing (yes with my eyes closed, what's new?) beside an art deco chair and table. I think people were smaller back in the day b/c everything looked small, of course I'm tall so maybe this just looks miniature.
And heeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrsssssssss......Retro Rita. She really liked this 1950s style chaise however we couldn't figure out what it was stuffed with and it would have had to be recovered. My suggestion was that it was stuffed with horse hair.
There were a lot of vintage hats! Really, how much fun are hats? I love them. I look like a dork in them but never the less, love them. Here Roberta models a purple fur one and Rita dons a black velvet with some sort of bird feathers. The girls look fab, don't they?
I was partial to the aqua feather one. See I told you I look like a dork in a hat! I should have bought this one to wear to the grocery store! he,he,he
I bought a few vintage shell buttons, a cabinet card photo and 3 skeleton keys. Dar bought a little table, Roberta a $4 vase and Rita bought nothing. We had a great time, laughed a lot and decided to make it an annual pilgrimage.
A beautiful sunset at the end of a beautiful day. I hope you had a fun Saturday!
