Newsletter -- April 15, 2008
Volume 5, number 3
View from our office - is Spring on its way?
Since last month's newsletter . . . .
. . . . we've enjoyed a week and a half in England, searching for fresh English and Continental antiques. Even with our quite conservative mindset, we were able to assemble an interesting and varied shipment, which we'll combine with a few outstanding European pieces we've found in this country and kept under wraps for our Spring Post-England Gala at the end of this month. More information about this gala weekend may be found by clicking the link below in our Upcoming Shows section.
Show news
As the summer show season approaches, we'd like to highlight the shows we've added to our schedule for 2008. On April 19 and 20 we'll be returning to Guilford. This year's revamped Guilford show is in the hands of Frank Gaglio, and we're confident that it will regain its place as one of southern Connecticut's finest shows. Click the link below (Upcoming Shows) for more information.
Other new shows for us this year are: Antiques al Fresco, Ferguson & D'Arruda's Darien, CT show in a new location and on a new date - June 8; The Golden Ball Tavern Antiques Show, in Weston, MA on September 27; and Antiques in Vermont, in Manchester, VT on October 5. The Weston and Manchester additions are the result of the new date for the Vermont Antiques Dealers' Association Show, which will take place on August 23 and 24. Further information on these and all of our other shows will appear in this newsletter as their dates approach.
WEEKEND SHOP HOURS
Because of our busy schedule of antiques shows, our shop is not open every weekend. To find out when we'll be open, use the link below. Of course, we'll be happy to open our doors at other times. In either instance, a call ahead is advised.
