Hard to believe that a whole summer has whooshed by since my last visit to the Burlington Antiques Show, which I wrote about in April, right here. My sister, Laura, and I (along with Max, and my niece, Rachel) hit the Lawrenceburg, Indiana show a few weeks ago, but it was pouring rain, so was sort of a bust. Luckily, the weather held out for the show yesterday.

I’ve been bringing Max to flea markets this summer, and he’s become quite the little shopper. Yesterday, he had the task (for a few minutes) of pulling the cart. He’s already a vintage market pro! (I bought that wooden basket that’s in the cart, which I’m going to plant with mums.)

He took some time off his cart-pulling duties to try on this old helmet (this is his mean face—and notice the fists!)

And time to take a little rest on the ground.

I was in that “I just don’t need any more stuff in my tiny house!” mode yesterday, so I was more looking than anything. I just let myself get drawn to the most interesting tables. For me, that means linens! Burlington always has so many fantastic linens, from hankies to quilts to tablecloths! But, for the moment, it’s more fun to dream than do (or buy).

I also love retro glassware, and anything the color aqua (retro glassware that is aqua is the ultimate). I love the aqua of that old trunk too.

I’ve written about this before, but something is happening with vintage orphan glassware. People are making the most inspiring, cool creations out of it. I’ll leave you with these awesome glass creations . . .

You are so right about Vermont! Many years ago my mother was living in Vermont and on my way to visit I stopped at a lawn/garage sale. I found several beautiful linen towels and fancy women's aprons. I have never seen anything like these at any other sale.
