Go

Antique Market Extravaganza in PA
2 hour drive + 2 hours shopping = 18 pieces added to my collection

8 necklaces, 9 pairs of earrings and 1 ring (1 purse not pictured)

camera-worthy

The Renningers Antiques Extravaganza is held three times a year in Pennsylvania and Florida; I attended the show in Kutztown, PA on Saturday; endless tents and aisles of exhibitors hoping to sell you exactly what you're looking for...or not looking for.


Ranging from furniture, antique kitchen-ware to ancient cameras, I made a beeline for anyone with jewelry but I bought almost all my pieces from my usual jewelry counter located inside the indoor market, thank goodness she was still open. Probably spent an hour here...couldn't help it, look at all the pretty stuff.

We then made our usual stop at The Attic on the way out, a thrift shop that has a wide range of clothes but isn't overwhelming like other stores can be. They were playing Ladyhawke's new album so I was having fun dancing and singing along in the hallways. We always leave with something, for me it was a black purse that I was in dire need of.

Continuing on the shopping high, I found myself at another outdoor market in the Upper West Side, looking at everything but jewelry. I did buy a top but after 20 minutes of perusing, I hurried myself out of there
before I did more damage.
