I've had this blog going on 10 years this month and I've decided to take a new direction. I'm changing my business name to <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">Walker 1791 Architectural Salvage and Design. </span></span>I've created a new website: <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">http://walkerhome1791.wixsite.com/wh1791</span></span> and Facebook page: <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #990000;">https://www.facebook.com/Walker-Salvage-Design-774197332683099/</span>.</span> I hope you'll go over and follow my new adventure. My Instagram is staying the same, I just changed the profile info.<br />
<br />
I decided to change because I felt that Garden Antqs Vintage no longer fit who I am now. And besides I think change is good. It causes you to learn new things, like creating a website among other things.<br />
<br />
Walker 1791 is named after my family and the road I grew up on. I hope you'll follow along on my new adventure. I'll probably leave this blog up so that you can follow me on my new one.<br />
<br />
I really am thankful for all that have followed me through the years and all the wonderful people I've met because I took a leap of faith and started blogging. Thank you for your support these 10 years. It's not over, just going down a new road.<br />

<span class="null">I thought I'd show you a few of my fav finds from the
past two days </span><span class="null">and wanted to let you know about our upcoming shows. The white school desk we got today. The owner had it for
41 years and she said it belonged to her teacher that had it for about
30 years. I sold one very similar a few months back and was really happy
to find this one. There's my newly painted chair that I think goes
great with it.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The swan we found today too and it's made from a light weight material. The interesting thing about it is that it has a price tag on the bottom of it that reads $448.00. Makes me wonder what store would have carried it for that price. It does have great detailing to it and it's really a pretty piece. Now the lights next to it came from an old church and when they light up you can see the crosses inside. </div>

I think I'm going to hang on to these items and take them to the Warrenton Tx Antique Show. We will be in a new location this year and I promise to share details about where we will be really soon. I want to show you where we'll be so you can find us. The neat part of our new location is that my RV will sit right behind my space and allow me to cool off from the Texas heat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But before we load up for Warrenton, we'll be at Fredericksburg Trade Days the third weekend of this month. We are located in Barn 0 here. Yesterday we went and constructed new walls from 100 year old wood. I really liked how they turned out. </div>

I know I seem to blog less and less but wanted to give you a quick update of our July show happening this week. We've decided to move back to Fredericksburg Trade Days and are super excited that we will be inside Barn 0. We spent this past Saturday building and creating our space. Hope you stop by and see what else we've created.<br />
<br />
Here's a pic of what we're working on:<br />

Hello, I know it's been a while since I've blogged. It seems there's never enough time to do all that I want to, but wanted to give you a heads up where we'll be next. Our Next Show is the Vintage Market Days in Hempstead Tx on May 20-22. Hope you make plans to come to see us. I've included a list of our shows through August as well. As the Fall approaches I'll post more of our shows. Hope you've all been well.<br />

Have you got ready to attend an Antique Show but you had no idea who the vendors would be that would be there or even what they might be bringing. Several antique shows that I set up and attend have been including lists of their vendors and even including photos to give you an idea of what you might find there.<br />
<br />
I think this is a great idea. It lets your customers know some of the vendors that are setting up there especially if links are included for their website. It paints a picture of what the show atmosphere might be like before attending and whether you should bring the car, the big truck or rent a U-Haul!<br />
<br />
Since Frederic Morris and Greg Bahner are the show promoters of the Rusty Chippy Show in March and the Huntsville Antique Show in September I thought it would be fun to follow them for a day to see what they find. Well to be honest, you'd have to follow them every week. They are all over the great state of Texas finding rusty gold for the show and their booths in the various malls they are in and promoting the show.<br />
<br />
Here's just a small preview of some of the current and previous finds for the upcoming show as well as a snapshot of their booth during a previous show:<br />

The Big Red Barn Antique Show also known as the Original Round Top Antiques Fair is this coming Friday and Saturday in Round Top Texas. There is no longer a Sunday show. I hope you'll join us as well as many vendors that will be participating at this show and many surrounding shows. There's tons of places to shop this Friday and Saturday so don't miss out coming to the Winter Antique Show.<br />

Just look for this sign and you'll find the venue. It's located on Highway 237 just past the Carmine Y as they call it in Round Top Tx.<br />
<br />
I'm bringing lots of white, garden and vintage concrete items, and architectural items as well. <br />
<br />
And here's a map that shows you all the venue's that will be open: <br />

If you haven't heard already, there's a Christmas in the Country show at Zapp Hall in Warrenton Tx starting tomorrow at noon. There are over 30 vendors set up in different areas, the main hall, outside in tents, and myself and another vendor are inside the Red Barn.<br />
<br />
The show starts tomorrow at noon and goes until 8pm. Saturday it's from 10-8 and Sunday 10-2. I hope you make plans to come shopping, there'll be EggNogStravaganza from 6-8 on Friday and Saturday. Take your photo with Santa or Rudolph and shop with all the great vendors.<br />
<br />
There's lots of activities going on in the area, in downtown Round Top and all the way to Burton. Lots to do and have fun shopping too!<br />

We had a great show at <span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Gypsy Market</span></span> in Spring these past few days. Sold lots of things and was really happy with how the show was going, but sadly I'm not sure if I'll be setting up here again. The show promoters have decided to double the rent, good for them, but bad for us a show dealers. I know the economy is sometimes tough in this biz and the more rent we have to pay the more we have to increase our prices to the public. While I had a great experience here and they were very good promoters I just have to consider shows that are within my budget. Here is a picture of my booth the first day of set up. <br />
<br />

Our next show is in Hempstead Texas at the <span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">NW Houston Vintage Market Days</span></span>. I'm pretty excited about being a vendor for this show. They have shows all over Texas and beyond and I've always heard the huge crowds they draw in are amazing. They are advertising it as <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>"Dreaming of a White Christmas"</b></span></span> and ideas are spinning in my head. Can't wait to begin pre-setting up my booth (I always try to pre-set up in my yard so I'll know exactly what to take).<br />

this term used by the <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://junkgypsyblog.com/"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Junk Gypsie</b><b>s</b></span></a></span> and for many years when I worked full-time

Happy Monday everyone. I had someone ask to please post more pics of Fredricksburg Trade Days. Since I do so much more posting now on my Facebook page, I thought I would do a post in case there are some of you that possibly aren't on Facebook. Yes I know hard to believe but I do have friends that aren't on Facebook. <br />
<br />
These pics were taken during this month's Trade Days. These are pics of my space:<br />

Fredericksburg Trade Days in Fredericksburg Texas is this Friday to Sunday. Hope you are making plans to shop here. I'm located beside Barn 1 in a tent and I'm bringing a new load of things. There are over 7 barns, tons of separate cottages, and many vendors that set up outside in tents, including myself, and several food vendors. There's plenty to see and find.<br />
<br />
Here are a few things I'm taking:<br />

We were at Brandi and Kevin's field, The Show, this past weekend and had a blast. It was nice seeing everyone. We had never been to the 4th of July Parade that Round Top Tx puts on each year and I had always wanted to go. It was a great turn out for the parade. Thanks for the customers that came out and bought and support what we love.<br />
<br />
Now it's time to get ready for the Fredericksburg Texas Trade Days. It's a week from Friday and runs through Sunday. Hope you make plans to come out and shop. We have a new load we're bringing.<br />
<br />
Here was my booth at this past weekend:<br />

Can you believe it's already June 1st. Oh my, where has the time gone. Well for many of us in Texas the time has gone to dealing with lots and lots of rain and wind. I pray that those in towns affected by weather can rebuild soon and of course for those that have lost loved ones, there's no replacing them of course, I just hope with time they are healed.<br />
<br />
Since today is my husband's birthday I thought this pic was appropriate since it has a cake.<br />

The Montgomery Texas Antique Show was a great show this past weekend. We couldn't have asked for better weather and the customer turnout was awesome. We sold lots and lots of things and winded up bringing in three loads of merchandise. Thanks for all the customers that came out and supported what we love doing.<br />
<br />
I too have to brag on the ladies that put on this show. Their hospitality is to be commended. Not only did they individually come around and check on us all but they also made sure we had water, drinks and snacks all throughout the show. It seemed liked every hour someone was coming around. This really means a lot. They took the time to sit and visit with us and asked our feedback and if we needed anything. It's the little things that really mean a lot in this business.<br />
<br />
Here are pics of my booth at the show:<br />

I have been in the Antique Show Biz for over 17 years and I've learned a lot along the way. I also feel that I still have much to learn but this post I want to share my thoughts why every show may not always be your kind of show.<br />
<br />
We all hope that when we set up at shows that they are all successful and maybe for each of you they are. But I look at how much I've spent just to be there before I've made any money and considered it to be a successful show. In the past few years I've had some really great shows and not so great shows. Maybe that's my fault and the type of merchandise I bring or maybe there are just so many factors that I can't control, like things are now getting more expensive and harder to find among other things, weather, location, etc.<br />
<br />
I do believe that not every show may always draw the type of customers that want to buy from me like they do in Warrenton or Fredericksburg Tx. I buy vintage things, furniture and accessories and try not to paint any of it because I love the worn and original paint that the item has. Now occasionally I come across a really great piece of furniture but I also know it won't sell in the condition it's in unless it's painted, but for me this is rare.<br />
<br />
When I set out to set up at the Sweet T Vintage Market a few weeks ago, I really didn't know what to expect since it was my first time. I did go in with the thought that this town might be hard to sell to, from what I had heard from other friends that had tried to sell to customers in this town. Bryan/College Station is a mainly a college town and the customers here seemed to be mainly looking for jewelry, clothes, or painted furniture. None of which I carry. <br />
<br />
<br />
I had prayed about this show and God had whispered "he would provide my needs." But when so many things happened like dealing with the weather and rain, then the heat and humidity was bad along with fire ants, the tent leaked and I thought maybe I had somehow missed it. He did however provide customers almost the last hour of the show which made me so thankful and I realized that he never fails us.<br />
<br />
Due to these things, this doesn't discourage me it just makes me thankful for each time I do make a sale and to continue to listen to his still small voice.<br />
<br />
I do want to offer suggestions to the owners of this market. First let me say I know it's a lot of hard work to get a new show going and I know this was only your second show so I hope you'll listen to each vendor that may offer suggestions. I'm not trying to be critical but this is a business for all of us and we work extremely hard at what we do. We've all learned a lot along the way at what works for us and what doesn't.<br />
<br />
1. When you rent a tent, check to make sure it's from a reputable tent company, that there are not holes in the top so that if it rains it doesn't leak and ruin your vendors merchandise.<br />
<br />
2. Tents can be dark, especially if it's raining and dark outside. Either provide lights or ask the tent company if they are going to provide lights or ask your vendors to bring lights.<br />
<br />
3. If you are going to block off all exits, as was done in this case, keep in mind that vendors need to be able to have easy access to their space not only for possibly unloading more merchandise that morning or to be able to unload heavy merchandise once it's sells. I understand you want to prevent customers from sneaking in and not paying but there are other ways to prevent this like charging as they pull into the grounds or having someone check for wrist bands.<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Providing Porters is very helpful to vendors and customers and many shows that have porters have the vendor pay them for their assistance.<br />
<br />
<br />
5.Check on your vendors during the show, ask them how
it's going, do they need anything...this goes a long way. Please listen
to your vendors for any suggestions they may offer, we all can learn
from each other in this business.<br />
<br />
I do want to thank Tammy F. for checking on us and providing us with water. And also for allowing her husband to help us load heavy merchandise. I wish you both many great shows in the future.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was a learning experience but I met some really great vendors and customers. Hope to see you at one of my next shows. <br />
