 July 2006 Back to Table of Contents Back to Archives Main Page Section: Feature Our Keepsakes By Gail Nicholson
Collectors are out in droves in good weather and shops lie on almost every route. Open-air antiquing is my favorite. Yard sales bring objects swinging from branches and blankets of goods are spread on the neighbor’s lawn. Flea markets expand outside, seeming to double in size. On Father’s Day my family and I visited Antique World in Clarence. It was a lively day of shopping under the breezy trees and walking the lanes and booths. It was sunny and friendly, and especially nice watching my 11-year-old digging through tables of goods and talking it up with the dealers. Her personal interests are developing and it was fun to watch. We talked about our favorites — mine being printed objects — fabric, photos and paper. Hers — old drawing supplies and comic books. Our collections grew that day.
