Sutter Antiques

The world changes constantly every minute of every day.
We change, our preferences change, our environment changes.
This is the definition of life - everything is alive and everything changes.


                                                                              Keep Focused

Bob Withington

As our lives change so does business, our business, all businesses.

It is up to us to make the most of life, our lives.

A relative?

Where was your vehicle made?

Not that one has to buy exclusively American, but hey, spread the jobs to your neighborhood!
Same with the antiques business , when was the last time you bought something for your house, your collection, something to keep? 


                                                                                      With Care

Want the antiques business to thrive?
Then support it.
Advertise your shop, your shows, your business.
Send out show cards.


Speak and think positively of your business.

In all things you reap what you sow.
So always do your best!

MARK TO MARKET - A2 ANTIQUES - SEPTEMBER 2010

Feet don't fail me now. Seriously, when attending and participating in antique shows one really relies on their feet, even if those feet belong in serious shoes.


                                                                                                              Bob Ketelhut





Also, one needs to be grounded in reality in order to make wise and gainful decisions.

                                                                                                                              WSO






Surround ones self with liked minded and guided individuals.

Who can often be helpful...... if help or advise is needed in making a purchase.

And when the feet need relief choose appropriate seating for a break.

                                                               Bob Ketelhut



                                                                                 Don Billmaier




Don't sit too long.... muscles and joints may stiffen up.

Worden Select Objects




Whether picking fresh in the field or selecting at the  Market,
check for condition:
      no bruises or spoiled spots
      eye appeal
      emotional magnetism
 
                                                                                                                  Bud Weinert




It's always good when it hits the right note!

BOUYS, BRIMFIELD AND BEYOND - SOLO PART II

Continuing on my Farmington / Brimfield, dispersion/foray ..... 
With FA&DW over, it is now "focus on Brimfield"!
My purpose for attending has changed many times over the years, but one constant has remained - Brimfield, above all others, is THE place to gather current trends, info, insights, and meet with friends from all over the globe.




And all over the country.




These two were from out of this world, but with 8 hands each they were ready to buy..... tethered so not to get separated from one another.... though wishing they had flown the larger H3.

Antique Show Wandering consists of -Travel of course! 
And, when not driving across the country, one sets out on foot in pursuit of observations,  market sampling, and gathering of all things material, spiritual and...... of the buzz.


                 The goods!

                                  OR I what?




                        Gathering of goods

              Resonating the market.





Finally, reflecting on the experience.

MADISON-BOUCKVILLE NEW YORK

WHERE EVER YOU GO IT SEEMS THE STARTING POINT IS THE LINE.
THE LINE IS LONG AND MOVES SLOW.




ONLY A FEW OTHERS WERE WAITING.


IDYLLIC COUNTRYSIDE


EARLY SHOPPERS, WHILE PLENTIFUL, WERE, FOR THE MOST PART, JUST SHOPPERS



WITH 1000 SPACES OCCUPIED BY 700 DEALERS, SOME VARIETY WAS INEVITABLE. OVERALL THE SHOW TILTED TO OAK AND COUNTRY FURNITURE WITH THE USUAL ASSORTMENT OF GLASS, CERAMICS,  JEWELRY, A SMATTERING OF EUROPEAN, AND DECORATOR ITEMS TUCKED IN HERE AND THERE.


AS YET UNTAPPED


THERE WAS ROOM AT THE TABLE FOR YOU


NEW YORK "LEGS" WERE FASHIONABLE



ROOM WAS LEFT ON THE WAGON FOR ADDITIONAL PURCHASES


SOME BUYERS WERE ABSENT



ONCE EARLY BUYING WAS OVER THE GATES WERE OPEN TO HUGE CROWDS OF CURIOSITY SEEKERS.


SOME WERE EAGER



SOME WERE CONFUSED



OTHERS WERE JUST LOOKING



GOOD HELP WAS AVAILABLE







MOST OFTEN, AS DEALERS, WE WISH FOR AT LEAST A GOOD CROWD.  HOPING THAT SHEER NUMBERS WILL PRODUCE SALES.


WE HAD YOUNG SHOPPERS

SAVOY SHOPPER WITH WALKIE-TALKIE

HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES



EXPERIENCED FOLKS



THOSE THAT CONSULTED ON POSSIBLE PURCHASE



THE MOST INTERESTED WERE THE LEAST CURIOUS
THE REST WERE, SHALL WE SAY,
"CURIOUS BUT NOT INTERESTED"


"WHAT IS IT?"

WORDEN SELECT OBJECTS

"WHAT WAS IT USED FOR?"

 WORDEN SELECT OBJECTS
"DOES IT WORK?"

WORDEN SELECT OBJECTS
WE LISTENED AND REPLIED "WHO?.... WHEN?..... WHERE?"

RON HARING'S VICTROLA'S






THESE ARE QUESTIONS WE ALL GRAPPLE WITH UNTIL WE REALIZE-
I AM.... NOW..... HERE.




THIS WILL COMFORT AND PROVIDE SANCTUARY.

ASW



"NOW I UNDERSTAND WHEN IT SAYS 1000 DEALERS"





IN ONE VAN?



AND THE RAIN CAME AND WASHED IT ALL AWAY
