Getting ready for Labor Day Antique Fair

We are working hard getting ready for the Rutherford Labor Day Street Fair. If you have not gone, it is unbelievable if you are an antique lover or if you just love a good deal. All of Park Ave in Rutherford is packed with 200 antique dealers up and down the avenue. Then at the Williams Center and now down a few side streets such as Glenn Road and Franklin Place, there are craft vendors. The surrounding houses in town all have spontaneous garage sales. The churches have white sales and the legion has a flea market. It is like the whole town is on sale. I have done this show for approx. 8 years. But there was a couple years in between when I did not sign up because I wanted to shop the town!
We have been working on some great pieces just for this show. We will be rolling out 7 new pieces. We have a 100 year old beautiful armoire that is painted an antique white with a linen wash and handpainted white roses. Truly one of a kind. We have a gorgeous 1938 art deco style vanity with mirror and bench painted a creamy white with crackled drawers and beautiful colors of burgundy painted throughout. We also have a highboy dresser painted a basic black. 2 small black pedestal tables, a tall white antique 2 level table and a large white french provincial table. We will also have plenty of other pieces to total 21. We have antique china pieces, handbags, linens, etc.
Hope you can stop by and see us. Check my website for more show info: www.handpaintedbycookie.com.
