Welcome to Fall W hen we started this paper my primary objective was to knit the small town shops together so we had the opportunity to share our love of the business with the knowledge we had collected and the maps and listings would connect our customers to new shopping outlets along the way. The other objective was to shine a positive light on antique shops and shows and the industry in general.

Wars. Antique dealers were gentle refined educated men and women who had a passion for what they found and what they sold and how they sold it. Since we started this paper so had started the worst economy many of us have ever seen. And although housing starts stopped and home sales have stalled most of the shops along my route are still there. And admittedly business is not where we would all love to see it, but we still man our stores with class and style, and because we are fortunate enough to love what we do we work it out.

I know I have had a hard time keeping positive, and many of the folks I looked to for cheering up were getting grumpier than me. How do you keep that positive sunny disposition that keeps people coming back? Business 101 tells you that it will cost you x dollars to get someone into your store, and nothing but product and service to get them back. So every person that leaves your shop not happy is a lost opportunity. Lately I have been the only one happy when some people have left my shop. The lookers and touchers have far outweighed the buyers and that makes for an exhausting and

In this issue we have some great new shops and a new feature linked to our Facebook page, Times are a-changing and we are trying to change with the times but I don’t want to change so much that I do not recognize myself or what it is that I love to do. Photo by JORGE RUIZ

exasperating day. I need to remind myself that at some point the economy will turn around but that customer that I upset will probably be lost forever. Who among us can afford that?

When I was a kid the image of an antique dealer was far removed from what kids today see. I, for one, do not want to be heaped into the pile of mouthy know-it-all with the American Pickers or the brood from Storage

Good Luck this fall and good business.

Antiques and More’s Gentle Giant Greeters By Stephanie Jadrnicek

high-end homes on Amelia Island.

Contributor

With all of these talents under one roof at Antiques and More, what’s a St. Bernard to do but roll over and beg for belly rubs? Well, there’s also their other duties such as their once a month visit to Ritzy Clips Dog Spa for a bubble bath and shave, gobbling up McDonald’s double cheeseburgers, and splashing around in the waves at the beach. And if they can’t make it to the beach, these two brothers improvise.

wo walloping Swiss St. Bernards just started their new jobs. Instead of herding or hunting, these gentle giants are greeting at Antiques and More, a new shop that recently opened in Yulee, Fla. “Frits and Gus are our official shop greeters,” said Susie Sergent, co-owner of Antiques and More. “Although they may just roll over at every customer’s feet and beg for a belly rub.” Descendants of the famous St. Bernard movie star Beethoven, these brothers have a knack for socializing. They love children and enjoy frolicking with small dogs and cats. So Rebecca Miklas, co-owner of Antiques and More and owner of Frits and Gus, knew the dogs would be a great asset to the store. Miklas previously owned an antique store in Boston, Mass. She’s always had a good eye for quality and design which she attributes to her late mother Shirley. An upscale and dignified lady, Shirley taught home economics to young ladies and as Sergent remembers most, Shirley never left the house without her gloves.

Stop by Antiques and More in Yulee, FL and you’ll be greeted by these lovable St. Bernards, Frits and Gus. Photo courtesy of ANTIQUES and MORE Opening up shop this time around, Miklas is more enthusiastic since she’s business partners with Sergent, her best friend for over 20 years. The two ladies figured they’ve shared so much together after all that time, why not share a shop as well.

Sergent brings a unique addition to the store – her interior design background. She has decorated numerous beach houses on Amelia Island over the last 25 years. Currently, she’s working on a contem“Rebecca knows this business well porary penthouse on the beach. from being raised by Shirley. Shirley “Having a decorator in the shop had a dress shop and sewed the dresses herself. So Rebecca learned is very helpful to customers,” said Sergent. “They can bring in pictures at an early age the quality of fabric of their house or room that they’re down to the colors,” said Sergent.

“When they were in their terrible twos they decided, while going on their daily walk, to jump into the fountain in front of the courthouse,” said Sergent. “Everybody laughed so hard as they watched two giant St. Bernards play in the fountain!”

SHOW REPORT

B’s show report By BIRGITTA WADE

non-scientific assessment is that lusher pickings may be found in what looks to be brown pastures, he antique scene sounds but in reality may be greener than quite healthy over there,” we often imagine. That’s good news wrote a friend from Great for those of you that travel from Britain after he finished reading our Virginia to Florida on I-95, and from Spring Show Report in I-95 Antiques. Asheville to Charleston on I-26 An apropos reminder: You do know, and for those who attend southern don’t you, that you can find this antique shows all year round. And publication on line at i95antiques. if you haven’t been to a show below com -- terrific when you’re traveling the Mason Dixon line lately, may we with your Smartphone! Back to the recommend an excursion? main topic: “The only thing that’s As we sat back to take stock of the selling in the UK is Chinese porcesummer months on the show circuit lain.” on this side of the pond, we had to Contributor

“T

That should be a boost to all American dealers‘ morale! But we still wondered at the British chap’s assessment: Is the grass always greener on the other side of wherever you happen to be? Perhaps. Case in point: We, and surely you too, always hear that the best shopping for antiques is “up north.“ Well, we can unequivocally tell you that ain’t necessarily true.

agree that activity is actually taking an uptick over a year ago, and certainly more vibrant than the best forgotten 2010. Considering we’re on the tail end of an election year, which always seems to put some brakes on the nation’s mood and spending habits, the warm months on the eastern seaboard seemed to be following the weather -- a global warming.

We just returned from a two-week buying trip to the New England states and New York. The van should have been loaded to the hilt after that much time and 3334 miles on the vehicle, right? . Not so. The roof rack was empty coming home. Didn’t need that rear carrier so it was tied to the empty roof. And there was plenty of room inside the van too -- even considering the millimeter precision packing job the antiquing partner did. Amusingly enough, the best thing we bought was something from Railroad Antiques, out of Selma, NC who were set up at the mammoth weeklong antique show in Madison-Bouckville, NY. Nothing like traveling 760 miles to shop with dealers virtually in your own back yard!

With such a large and varied outpouring of summer events throughout the region, it’s difficult to report other than in generalities. You will always find those vendors who sell well, even when others sink. Or those who bomb one week, only to sell out at a different location a few days later. Show exhibitors often talk about “energy” at an event -- it’s an intangible, but usually pretty accurate sense of where a show is heading. Feels like things are hopping? It’s gonna be good. Shoppers waking like the living dead and not looking in booths? Oh-oh -- choppy waters ahead. . Seems like mumbo jumbo? Yes, just like a full moon customer!

The further north we went, the more expensive antiques seemed to become. Perhaps because New Englanders really like their quilts, their painted firkins, their stoneware jugs, their small cupboards, their hooked rugs -- even their flow blue china which isn’t generally selling well was priced as if this was still the 1990s. No stocking up for us! So perhaps, even though the sun scorches Southern lawns, our highly

know much about it, but was willing to sell it for $20. It sat in his booth for four days in plain sight. Some shoppers picked it up, to look but no one bit. Since it didn’t sell at the show, he gave it to someone to list at an online auction. After 7 says, it brought $2274 -- yes, that would be twenty two hundred and seventy four dollars, but well, we could be off by some cents here. Who knew? Apparently not the seller, not the dealers who walked by and not the shoppers who put it back. True story. True instance of what you can find at a show but with no guarantees of course. Shall we add that the booth was in the next block over from ours, but we never checked it out? Otherwise, June at Scott’s in Atlanta usually coincides with Father’s Day but not this year. Surprisingly to those who set up here every month all year long, June has traditionally been one of the “weak” ones here, only topped by August. But go figure: June turned out quite well for the majority of those who were here. Sunday in particular really delivered for many dealers -- it’s not uncommon for some to pack out on Saturday night, since Sundays here have often been on the slim side with a weak gate. Just goes to show that when you’re a show dealer, it sometimes pays to stay open till the bitter end. After all, it’s a mad dash for everyone to set up as quickly as possible on opening day when tempers sometimes flare when dealers are slow to unload and hold up the lines. So why the rush to get out?

are to have their vehicles out by that new official start time. Scott management is hoping that by advertising the Thursday afternoon opening for the first time, both Thursday and Friday should provide great selling opportunities and a show that hasn‘t been picked over early. Two of the strongest shows in Atlanta arrived with out of town buyers who come here for America’s Mart, or the Merchandise Mart in January and July. Exhibitors at Scott’s always look forward to those two months as helping generate some extra income for the summer months. July this year was “OK, but not as strong as it should have been,” said Scott Grant from Meredith, NH who brings jewelry, glass and china and is a regular at the show. Just in case you thought no one bought dinner service sets, Scott has the most elegant, exquisite and beautiful services and does very well with them all year long. Many Scott’s dealers head for Brimfield, NY during July -- it’s the weakest of the three shows there, and a tough act to follow after the gangbuster May one this year. However, if you want to keep your space for the “good ones” you pretty much have to make the trek. For a summer show, the consensus pronounced it a better July than in the past, and one NC dealer had the best July he’s ever had there. He even sold a Victorian upholstered sofa -- bravo!

The promoters at the International Collectibles and Antique Show in Charlotte really are trying to put some life into a show that’s had its And speaking of rush, a big ups and downs ever since a debacle change is coming to the September with previous promoters who left to show (full report in January) where open another show in the area a few shoppers have been able to enter years back.

Labor Day is another tricky weekend -- ICA is always up against mega show Hillsville less than an hour away and unless it’s mudslides in the mountains, attendance traditionally isn’t the strongest in Charlotte. Held the first weekend of every month, everyone is looking forward to the Extravaganza in November, when big tents go up to accommodate the influx of exhibitors. We’ll have a report in the next issue.

The Post Office was built in 1915 and was left empty for 10 years after the Post Office changed location. We are a family of 4: Steve Sr, Grace Glass, and the 2 children Gabbi (5) and Steven Jr (2). We “went all in” on starting this business we have always loved antiques and old items in general. We have been buying and selling for many years now. When we saw the Post office for the 1st time we looked past all the work needed to be done, and saw a beautiful building, that was a Historic landmark in Darlington. When you walk inside you get a feeling of openness. We have over 12000 sq ft climate controlled building, with a parking lot, extra wide aisle for handicap accessible building, knowledge staff, 3 other Antiques stores in the area, and Great restaurants. Historic Downtown Darlington is a Great town and a Great Place to go antiquing; we are pleased to be part of this community.

Refrigerator Dishes

Photos by JORGE RUIZ

In the 1930s, refrigerators became more common and so, a new market was created: refrigerator-ware. Hall produced china pieces for all of the major manufacturers, including Hotpoint, General Electric, Westinghouse and Montgomery Ward. Pieces produced were pitchers, covered or not, china boxes for leftovers, butter and cheese dishes. The Hall pieces either came with the appliance or were offered as accessories to be purchased.

Christmas Light Bulbs

Photos by JORGE RUIZ

Christmas tree lighting dates to 17th century Germany, when wax was melted to tree branches to hold candles to illuminate specific ornaments. In 1882, Edward Johnson, an assistant to Thomas Edison, designed the first set of electric tree lights, which became popular in department store displays. It wasn’t until the introduction of safety light strings in 1917, however, that household tree lighting took off, spawning innumerable combinations of colors, shapes, sizes, and figural lights.

Landrum, SC: Antique Town adding shops By JIM MARKS

If 46 indoor vendors isn’t enough, Savy Scavenger holds an outdoor flea market in the parking lot every Saturday.

Contributor

he City of Landrum, already a destination for informed antiquers, has recently added two new antique shops to its substantial line-up of established stores (see their ad on page 18 in this issue). Another reason to visit is that Landrum will be offering several seasonal events for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike. But perhaps best of all, if you’re an “experienced” shopper who can get there on a Wednesday, the Landrum Area Business Association has started having Senior Day every Wednesday, with participating stores offering significant discounts to those 55 and older. One of the brand new antique shops is called the Savvy Scavenger Antique Mall and Marketplace. It’s located across the railroad tracks – you’ll see the big blue sign - near Landrum Eclectics. These two shops are a very short distance from downtown and you can visit both easily. There’s plenty of parking right outside both. Savvy Scavenger holds a regular Saturday outdoor flea market in their parking lot. Indoors there are 46 vendors offering everything from antique armoires to vintage clothing, smalls and collectible face jugs. Owner John Breffle, a respected auctioneer, holds monthly auctions in the parking lot, so there’s plenty going on

The New South Architecture – Style of Living “Life Journey of the Lunneys” – Architecture & Exhibit “speaking in one historic voice.”

A 1909 American Queen Anne style bungalow, landau carriage house and “two seater outhouse.” The arts & crafts interior features art glass windows – original chandeliers – long leaf pine woodwork and quarter sawn oak mantel – English fireplace tiles – flat panel wainscot with burlap inserts – a 1866 Chickering & Sons “cocked hat” parlor grand piano is a permanent exhibit.

What Would You Do? A while back, probably a month or so while walking an antique mall in Florida I came across this Golliwog in a pile of rag type dolls, and picked him up for closer inspection. He’s kinda cute...don’t you think? Well I thought so too, and originally I was going to just take his picture and email it to a couple of friends that would get a kick out of him but I looked at his price tag and he was marked $28.00 and I thought...heck for $28.00 I would buy him and give him to my friend as a gift. I added him to a small pile of goodies at the counter, continued to shop, then paid and collected my loot and left. Another fun day antiquing in sunny Florida. That should be the end of the story, except for big hugs and smooches for such a cute gift, right!? How short would this story be if that was the case? A few weeks later I get a call at my shop from someone who introduces themselves as an employee of the mall in Florida. He had gone thru the sales slips and found my information. And now he wants me to return Mr. Golliwog in exchange for $28.00 and the cost of shipping.

new Interactive Feature

Golliwog for store stock and that I had in fact given him as a gift and I was not sure I could even get him back. I then spoke to my friend and was graciously told that I could do what ever I thought was right. Here comes the “What would you do?” part. My thoughts were simple... 1, $428.00 for this doll...really 2, a $428.00 doll should really be locked up and not in a pile of other dolls 3, at least 3 of us looked at that tag and read $28.00 And 4th Who prices anything $428.00

But in all fairness these were my thoughts.... Another friend/dealer who is way nicer than me said “But how would you feel if it happened to you?” And so here is the deal... we have a Facebook page for I95antiques and I am willing to do what the majority thinks is fair, If you think this should be returned to the dealer in Florida, or not go to our Facebook page and let me know.. I will post a picture if Mr. Golliwog there and you can have your say... Keep it friendly and PG13 some of the casual comments have not been, and have fun. Thanks!

I have made a lot of purchases in a lot of shops over the years and never never never had that happened before. Imagine my surprise when he explain that the Golliwog was either mismarked or the tag was misread but he was supposed to be $428.00 and the dealer was very Also if you have a dilemma in your upset that he sold for only $28.00. I world that has something to do with have to be honest and tell you for one of antiquing let us know and we will make the only times in my life I was speechthis a regular feature. less. I told him that I had not bought the

Booma, decorating the homes of the next generation By STEPHANIE JADRNICEK

Another lucky endeavor brought Harris a pleasant surprise. At an estate sale he struck up a lovely conversation with an older lady sporting a large hat crested with a bird. Though he felt more impressed by her apparel than the artwork, he continued perusing through the paintings during their conversation.

urf’s up – the next wave of antiquing is swelling on the horizon and Richard Harris is set up perfectly for a long ride. One year ago Harris opened Booma: Antiques•Art•Objects in St. Augustine, Fla. With an eye for unique stylish pieces, he is decorating the homes of the next generation. “Like many businesses, during certain economic times and social times you’ve got to adapt and change,” said Harris. “The older generation is now downsizing and the younger generation is out shopping for their new homes. They want what they see in the designer magazines, they want to stay current. And that’s what they see at Booma, an eclectic blend.” Booma’s eclectic blend includes giant antique turtle shells, fiberglass furniture and deco lacquer chairs. One of the newest editions to the store is a Knoll Saarinen Tulip Table. Mid-century yet modern, this particular style of table is sought after by everyone who knows what’s “in.” “The Knoll Saarinen Tulip Table is what I refer to as a design fad table,” said Harris. “Pop culture affects the way people buy. Lots of people are talking about this table. Everybody’s after it because they’ve seen it in popular designer magazines.”

Finally, he dragged a painting from a stack leaning against the wall. Though not taken by it, he bought it anyway as a token of his appreciation for the lady’s time. As he exited the building a gentlemen noticed the painting and expressed his disappointment since he had returned to purchase it himself. Harris is in perfect position for the next wave of antiquing due to his interior design background – a background which began in early childhood. Harris saw his father haul home furniture from local antique auctions and watched the older pieces transform with a little restoration. And if he wasn’t in the shop with his father, he was walking through museums with his mother. “My mother went to school for architecture so I spent lots of time in museums as a kid. She’d drag us from floor to floor, it was painfully slow,” said Harris. “Looking back now I feel grateful for those times. I have an appreciation for historic things that a lot of people my age just don’t have.” As a son of an architect and furniture restorer, and a brother of

a designer, Harris’ passion for antiquing comes naturally – it’s in his blood. Though sometimes Harris’ purchases are based on his experience and intellect, he relies on pure instinct as well. One such instance bought him a painting of Shirley Guggenheim. When he first saw the painting of a woman in a pool, something caught his eye. He contacted the artist in California and discovered that the painting had come from the Guggenheim estate in Hawaii and the woman in the painting was Shirley Guggenheim. “I’m waiting on documentation, but in the meantime I’m looking for more of this artist’s work,” said Harris. “He produced a whole series of bikini paintings in the 1960s and I guarantee this guy has prominence.”

“When I got home I noticed something hard on the back side of the canvas. First, I was worried that it was mold, then I realized it was cardboard,” said Harris. “I carefully removed the cardboard and discovered a 1940s illustration signed by a totally different artist. It was crazy, I had found a double-sided canvas with two listed artists!” Of course, not every find is this valuable. The life of an antique dealer is wrought with financial challenges and costly decisions. But to Harris, the benefits of his vocation far outweigh the costs. “Other dealers told me not to go into this business to make a lot of money, that they do it because they enjoy the work,” said Harris. “It pays off incredibly in other ways. I love waking up every day knowing this is what I get to do.” EXIT

ith New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music we listen to America’s music and hear the story of freedom. It’s the story of people in a New World places they have left behind, and ideas they have brought with them. It is the story of people who were already here, but whose world is remade. The distinct cultural identities of all of these people are carried in song. Their music tracks the unique history of many peoples reshaping each other into one incredibly diverse and complex people -- Americans. The music that emerges is known by names like blues, country western, folk ballads, and gospel. The sounds are as sweet

as mountain air, and as sultry as a summer night in Mississippi delta country. The instruments vary from fiddle to banjo to accordion to guitar to drum. But a drum in the hands of an African sounds different than one in the hands of a European. And neither is the drumbeat of an American Indian. Yet all the rhythms merge, as do the melodies and harmonies, producing completely new sounds -- new music. The main beat of the exhibition is the on-going cultural process that has made America the birthplace of more music than any place on earth. The exhibition provides a fascinating, inspiring, and toe-tapping listen to the American story of multi-cultural exchange. The story is full of surprises about familiar songs, histories of instruments, the roles of religion and technology, and the continuity of musical roots from “Yankee Doodle Dandy” to the latest hip hop CD.

NEW HARMONIES: CELEBRATING AMERICAN ROOTS MUSiC The exhibit NEW HARMONIES: CELEBRATING AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC will be on display in Walterboro, SC, from November 20, 2012 through January 6, 2012 at the Colleton Museum & Farmers Market.

A first preview of the exhibit and a reception at the Colleton Museum & Farmers Market will follow the concert. Developed as part of the Museum on Main Street program, this exhibit is designed especially for small museums and rural audiences that lack regular access to traveling exhibitions.
