Preview Night at the New Bern Antique Show 2013

Camellias and pretty glassware.
Last night was the opening of the New Bern Antique Show where the public had an opportunity to have first dibs on items for sale.  The members of the New Bern Preservation Foundation (sponsor of the show) had wonderful fruit, cheese and wine offerings along with many different sweets.  Here are some photos I shot last night.

 Lots of pretty fashions by folks attending the preview.
Beautiful scarf.

Food.
More food.
The sweets were brought around on trays.  There were so many delicious ones.

Cherries marinated in brandy and covered with chocolate.  So good.
One of the dealers near me always brings her dog, Simon, to the show.  Simon is always dressed to the nines.  Last night he was wearing his "tuxedo".  He's a delightful dog.  Always very well behaved.

A valentine handkerchief for sale in my booth.
Today the show gets underway in full force.

Off to New Bern, NC

The New Bern Convention Center (Photo from NB Convention Center Website).
We're heading to New Bern where I'll be a dealer at the Antique Show sponsored by the New Bern Preservation Foundation that will be held  Friday through Sunday at the New Bern Convention Center.  I've participated in this Antique Show for the last ten years, and it's always been a great show and a lot of fun.  I'll be reporting on other interesting things to do in New Bern and although we'll be renting a cottage for the week and doing some of our own cooking I'm sure we will hit some of the good restaurants while there. Stay tuned for adventures in New Bern.
Van is packed and we're off.
