I’ve always enjoyed St. Patrick’s Day - wearing green, green carnations, soda bread, corned beef, watching glimpses of the NYC parade.

Here I am age 5 with my brother, mom and sister.

And yes of course I still have that Kiss Me I’m Irish pin! ha!

79th Annual Glen Ridge Antiques Show

February 6th I attended the 79th Annual Glen Ridge Antiques Show.

Glen Ridge Congregational Church

After paying the $10.00 entry fee I stopped at the first booth with clothing and accessories. I found a coat for $125.00! An amazing vintage black Eileen Fisher eyelash mohair with a stand up collar that’s lightweight and feels luscious!

I found this Tiny Tim Royal Doulton figurine for $12.00. A Christmas Carol is a beloved book and my sister has a matching Tiny Tim that belonged to our dad.

There were so many dealer in the common area.

I spied this Quimper Bowl and I was really really tempted - it was in pretty good shape with just a few “flea bites” but I resisted for $35.00.

This dealer was showcasing pieces that were so beautiful.

This piece reminded me a piece my mother Rita had in my youth. Stunning.

This dealer had every manufacturer clearly marked which I appreciated.

I look forward to finding more Antique show event to attend in the future.

Til next time be well friends and I’ll see you over on Instagram.
