FARMINGTON ANTIQUES & DESIGN WEEKEND

AND IT RAINED?



CATS AND DOGS?



WELL NOT EXACTLY... BUT, YES, RAIN WAS EXPERIENCED AT MIDDAY ON SATURDAY.
 ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING CAN HAPPEN WHEN THE SETTING IS OUTSIDE,  WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS IN THE MID 70's,  AND THE SUN SHARES THE SKY WITH A FEW CLOUDS.
BEING OUTSIDE IS GREAT.


BONNIE & DAVID FERRIS

YET, SOMETIMES IT RAINS. NOT TOO BAD IF ONE IS PREPARED.   MOST DEALERS AT FARMINGTON HAVE TENTS TO STAY DRY AND WISE SHOPPERS KNOW TO PACK AN UMBRELLA.

IF NOT BRING A BOAT!

BENTING & JARVIS


AS W.S. OFTEN SAID-
"TRY TO ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DETAILS.
KEEP IN MIND THE BIG PICTURE
BUT........THE ESSENCE IS IN THE DETAILS."






JOHN MELBY ANTIQUES



WHEN ONE TAKES FOCUS, RICHNESS IN DESIGN IS CLOSE AT HAND.


POTTER'S STAND



EARLY GAMEBOARD

START AT THE TOP
