“Fern Coppedge: New Discoveries” Now Open At The Michener Art Museum FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 • VOL. 51, NO. 39

Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques Antique And Artisan Show Set For Oct. 2 and 3 Lebanon Valley Expo Center Will Host Popular Annual Event The show must go on, with proper precautions, of course. The “open air” 8th annual Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques Antique and Artisan Show will be held on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 2 and 3, at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center complex. Show hours will be noon to 5 p.m. for day one and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for day two. The Expo Center is located at 80 Rocherty Road, Lebanon, Pa. Gas up the truck, get some seasonal garb, fluff up a fancy hat and stroll among the best pickers to come together at one unique antique and artisan event. This fall show is hosted by the owners of Miss Morgan’s Milkweed Antiques, Diane Gibble and Troy Tranquillo. The two started the show 14 years ago in the backyard of their shop in Bethel, Pa., with just a few tents full of great vendors and eager shoppers who came dressed in witch hats and costumes to celebrate the fall event. Each year, the show grew bigger and better, and with that came bigger and better venues. This will be the second year that they have brought their show to the Lebanon Valley Expo Center, and it proves to be perfect in light of the ongoing pandemic. Not only does this venue provide shelter from uncomfortable weather conditions, but also allows for social distancing. Vendors will be provided with larger spaces to allow more room for social distancing within their booth spaces, and, when possible, empty spaces will be provided between vendors to allow guests a place to step aside. Hand sanitizer will be available at the front entrance and other points throughout the show. All facility overhead doors (and there are many) will be open to transform the facility into an “open air event,” so please dress accordingly. The show will go on rain or shine. What makes this fall antique and artisan show so successful?

Well, it’s the talented vendors, of course. And this year’s line-up of quality vendors will not disappoint. The slogan, “Bring a truck,” isn’t a joke. Shoppers will need one to haul off their goods. The show will once again welcome Jill Peterson, editor and publisher of “A Simple Life” magazine, and author of over a dozen hardcover books. Peterson travels the country to photograph and write about unique people, their homes, and unique antiques and collections and shares their stories and images in her books and magazine. She is also the owner of Frontera Roots, where she showcases her personal line of organic clothing and jewelry. Shoppers will have the opportunity to purchase her creative wares and books.

Alechia’s House will make a welcome return to the show. Her business in Northeastern Pennsylvania has been operating for over 30 years and carries a large variety of home furnishings, antiques, farmhouse, industrial and home décor for all seasons. Alechia conducts live sales on Facebook and has a shop in Muncy, Pa. Each year, the line-up of vendors grows, and this year is no different, especially with so many shows being canceled.

Works By Pioneering To Modern Masters That Shaped The Glass Movement The Muskegon Museum of Art (MMA) presents “Glass: Treasures from the Permanent Collection,” a spectacular and immersive glass experience, on view now through Nov. 29. This exhibition displays an array of works from the museum’s collection of vintage and modern glass. This dramatic and colorful display of the MMA’s decade-spanning collection of studio glass features works by many of the artists that defined the studio glass movement, including Dale Chihuly, Harvey Littleton, and Marvin Lipofsky, along with works made by today’s new masters. Collections of vintage Tiffany and Steuben lamps and glasswork and pieces from the pioneering days of contemporary studio glass give visitors a glimpse into the changing technologies and interests that have shaped the glass movement. “Glass” also celebrates the legacy of C. Corcoran “Corky” Tuttle and her husband, Robert Tuttle, who introduced the museum and its supporters to studio glass and helped guide collecting.

Through Corky, the MMA hosted internationally recognized glass artists Dante Marioni, Stephen Rolfe Powell, Benjamin Moore, Debora Moore, Sonja Blomdahl, Nancy Callan, and many others featured in this show.
