Plan Ahead Antique Shows in Texas – Getting to Know Garden Antqs Vintage

When you visit antique shows and events, do you take time to get to know the people behind the lavish vintage and antique booths? A booth at a show may change from person to person to reflect a sellers style. Take advantage of getting to know sellers, they will gladly be able to tell you history on an item your purchase if they can. Often times, the story makes the find.

Today, I’d like to share Garden Antiques Vintage with you.

How did you get started in the vintage/antiques business?
I’ve always like antiques, but actually got started in the business
about 10 years ago.  I bought an entire estate and decided fast I
needed some way to sell the cool things I’d found, so I rented a booth
in a local mall and the rest is history.  I’m no longer in an antique
shop, just do antique shows now.

What are some of your favorite items to sell?
Glass fish tanks, battery jars, aquariums, anything weird or unique
such as the mannequin hands I found a while back.
They weren’t posted on the blog a few hours when I received an email
from a friend who wanted to buy them.  Mannequins of all sizes,
gardening furniture, chandeliers, French furniture, Old House Awnings, Apothecary bottles, primitive cabinets, the list goes on.

What are the dates for your upcoming shows?
June 21-22 at the Red Barn in Round Top Texas. and possibly July 3-6 in
Canton Texas for the Canton Flea Market (I’m haven’t received confirmation
yet for this show)
