The Marburger Experience

The Marburger Antique Show is like none other.  I really don't know how to explain this.  Maybe it's the anticipation that you can't shop with the vendors until that Tuesday morning or if it's because you know some of the best designers will be there putting together some really over the top displays or if it's because so many of my friends are there and I just know I'm never disappointed with what they bring and how it's displayed.  Whatever the reason is and I'm sure you could add so many of your reasons to this list, it's still just an experience like none other.


I always take so many pictures of so many displays that I'm not sure where to start or even how many posts it will take to show you all.  I will go ahead and show you Gwen's displays because after all I did promise her I'd start out with hers.  Let me first tell you about Gwen.  She is just one the funniest and craziest girls to hang out with.  She has such a great personality and she always has a smile.

Now look at this statue.  Is this awesome or what.  Gwen always finds a lot of French antiques since she gets to travel to Paris on buying trips, lucky girl.  I believe her and her sister put these displays together.

Loved this display of rosaries:

These blue apothocary jars were just gorgeous:

Look at these vintage flowers:

I wanted this whole display, just loved it:

On to the next booth. Let's stop off at Laurie's for a second.  Laurie was new to the show, well as far as selling, it was her first time. 


I think she did a great job.


I loved the cow picture and the typewriter, loved it all together.

 

Her pillows are just gorgeous.  So pretty Laurie.  If you want to see more of Laurie's space, click here.

Next, let's head on over to see Jo and Gina's booth.  I loved that Gina was shopping until the last minute.


Of course if I could I would have bought everything in this display.  By far my favorite in their booth.

Don't you love these mannequins:

More great mannequins and loved this pie safe:

Here's the finished product with Magnolia Pearl's clothes:

  4. Nice way to start off my morning. Delish~

    I love the silver stacked trays. I think I will borrow that idea. I will have to do some rearranging, in order to find a space, on one of my walls. Isn't that the way we do things around here. Constant change to make room for more lovelies.

    Cheers~

  18. It really is an astounding experience! But it isn't just Marburger. Truthfully, some of my favorite booths are at the other shows (like yours, of course). A person could spend two weeks and still not hit everything. I can't wait to get there! thanks for sharing your pictures. I'm enlarging them and drooling over them too.

    Blessings... Polly
