As I am packing the car to do this antique show, I am wearing a coat and wish I had a pair of gloves on. Yes--it is a month into spring and April 29-30 is the 6th Annual Garden Gate To Spring Antique Show to be held at the Blumen Gardens in Sycamore Illinois.
We are looking foward to being part of this little gem of a show. Blumen Gardens is a fabulous sprawling garden shop-and the show is held in their 19th century factory building that used to be a barbed wire factory. The show is made up of a variety of delaers who bring all things garden--vintage garden treasure in all price ranges--and in the beautiful setting of the gardens.
What are we taking? Vintage treasures including floral oil paintings, english garden tools, fresh to market french tolewear, berry carriers and berry gathering tools. I have an awesome set of wrought iron planters, a wire fernery, and an incredible 3/4 height cupid bird bath from an estate in Riverside. Just to name a few things.
Sycamore is a short drive from my house--and I am looking forward to being surround with great garden items--and a goodt group of dealers. This group takes care with their displays--and should put us all in a good spring mood.
The show opens Friday and Saturday at 9am. Blumen Gardens is located at 403 Edward St. 815-355-1746.
