Lakewood 400 Antique Show with Santa!

Hello all!

Lots of preparations and the elves have been busy throughout the Halls of Lakewood 400 in Cumming, Georgia.

Santa will be arriving today to greet everyone and take wishes for boys and girls alike of all ages, including dogs too! Check out my picture with Santa from last year.

There are lots of really wonderful items for Christmas decorating and gifts in every hall at the show.  We are offering for the first time gift certificates to be used in our shop in the back of Hall G.  Any denomination, you choose.


If you were interested in our period tilt-top candle table, it sold yesterday and mommy is sad, because she really wanted to trade up at home and bring something else to sell.  Guess she will have to shop some more.

Also a really neat addition are two wooden tubs.  Great for sitting in the hot tub and watching the sunset, sunrise, mountains or just about anything!  Come see them, they are great!

Abby came to visit yesterday, we had a quick visit and then her mommy gave us a couple of treats!  I love Abby, (and her mommy too)!

Gotta run and get ready to see Santa.

Love to all, and come and see us soon!

Back From Thanksgiving Feasting!

Hello All!

We went to Indianapolis for Thanksgiving, and we managed to find an auction there.  Can you imagine they don't allow DOGS!?!?!  It made me sad and Mommy and Daddy didn't get all the neat stuff they wanted, but they picked up a few things.

Mommy is currently taking pictures and trying to prepare listings on EBay.  So more on that later when she has them posted.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

God Bless everyone!

Bandit

Wow!

The last day of the show was busy, and we ended up have a fun weekend.

Lots of new customers came to the show and so many new friends were made.  I met a new friend who looks a lot like me!  I will post that picture soon!

We are preparing for the big shopping weekend!  We can also be found at the Historic Roswell Antique Market.  They will be open on Black Friday and if you have an "Antiquer" to shop for, we are offering 15% discount.  Check out their blog and here is the location:

Have a great day everyone!

Day 2 of the show

It was really busy today and there were lots of children who needed comforting!  I really made a big hit with moms & dads too!

There are still so many more wonderful antiques that we have for sale.  It's less than 7 weeks before Christmas and we have fantastic items for the antique lover.

We look forward to seeing you at Lakewood 400 Antiques Market, we can be found in the back of Hall G.
Don't forget to ask for Bandit and get your discount and I get a treat!  Yeah!

See you soon, night all!

First Day!

Day one of the Lakewood 400 Antiques market was a success!  We had lots of visitors, but, no one mentioned to blog!

It started off slow and then people starting coming and it was busy.  However, I slept most of the time, because, again, no one was asking for me!

Saturday is usually a busy day and we hope lots of you will come to see me.

Have great evening and see everyone tomorrow!

Final Day of Preparation for the Lakewood Antique Market

Hello dog and antique lovers!

First, I have to mention what a great day it was yesterday when we stopped by Ace Hardware on Steve Tate in Marble Hill, Georgia, to get some needed supplies.  I was on my best behavior after I scarfed down the cat's food the night before, because the humans who work there thought I was cute and so good and they gave me 2 TREATS!!! Yeah.  Those folks at Ace Hardware are just super!  Look at this great picture Mommy took!

We have been busy preparing our inventory.  Mommy has been washing and ironing linens, Daddy has been working on furniture & leather books.  We have so many really neat new things it is hard to list them all.  I did promise to put up a few of our items and here they are:

Isn't this a lot of really NEAT things?  And there is so much more to see, so come and see us this weekend.  We even have human treats for little and big kids.  Lollipops, Swiss chocolates and specialized M & M's!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Hugs from Bandit

Two Days before our Antique Show begins

Good morning world!

We are heading out soon so I can greet all the fellow antique dealers who are coming in to set up and then sit in my basket and supervise the work.....well, I might take a nap.  Pictures will be taken today and tomorrow so I can add them here for everyone to see our new findings from recent travels.

Bandit

p.s. I do have to mention that I was a bad boy and snuck into the laundry room and ate the cat's food.  I would have accomplished that I not been caught red-handed cleaning the bowls and floors to a high shine!  OOPS!  Anyway, no treats for me today, I can wait till Friday when everyone comes to see me. I still get to go for a car ride though!

We will be at the Lakewood 400 Antique Market November 18-20, 2011

Good evening everyone!

What a day today getting our booth ready for the show this weekend in Cumming, Georgia.

We have lots of new inventory including European linens (Ohhhhhh the feather duvets and Swiss Flannel!  Have you ever slept on them, Wow!!!!!)  Swiss scissor cuttings, art work --pen & ink, sketches, hand colored engravings; furniture - a primitive jelly cupboard and plantation side table.  These are just a few of the new items and they are fantastic.  I will work on trying to get pictures posted here for everyone to see.

Day 1 - learning the ropes on earning my keep!

Hi! My name is Bandit.

For those of you who don’t know me, I am a Parson’s Jack Russell Terrier and I help my mommy & daddy sell antiques.  Actually, I just sit around and look cute, try to cheer crying or fussy children and worm my way right into people’s, as well as, other dog’s hearts. 

I am starting this blog because I have been told that I have not been fully earning my keep!  Arrgghh, as if looking this good isn't enough.  Well as we all know, economic times being as they are, I have to pitch in to help pay for my kibble, treats, toys and all my other goodies.

It is going to be my responsibility to bring people in to see our antiques and offer them incentives and rewards for ME! YEAH!

  

We are in the negotiating stages currently and more to come when all the details have been finalized later today.  So be sure to check back!

Have a FUN day!

Bandit
