Vintage Treasures, Dazzling Deals! | Antique Show Adventures

We're packing for next weekend's Mount Dora, Florida antique show, the last major one of the season! Lessons learned from the last show help us know what to do this time, so we're reliving the pains and pleasures of that event as we go on a chilly day shopping excursion.

We've survived the rainy set-up, and now it's time to look for big collections, buy fun novelties we can flip for a profit (remember Charlie Tuna?), and crazy things we've never seen before (like the first 'automatic' toothbrush)! There's so much to see, it's clumsy picking up costume jewelry with gloves on, but we happily find some vintage bargains that make it worth the effort. Then we head under the pavilions, where more sheltered dealer spaces offer cool antique phonographs, a listed modern artist's sculpture, and vibrant Marc Belleaire ceramics to offer a little relief from this uncharacteristically cool Florida day!

Back In our own booth, we greet our first shopper of the show, meet wonderful collectors and viewers, and have fun with Sandy of "My Flippin' Van Life" and YouTube's "Lily Pond Treasures"! In the end, we do well both buying and selling, which encourages us now as we look forward to this weekend's show, when a bevy of YouTube content creators are expected! The blending of the online vintage community into the real world of antique shows makes me excited to get to do this one more time in Florida this season—February 16, 17 & 18.
