We barely got through  Christmas and we began planning for our new show schedule for 2012.  Our first show was down in Lodi, California the weekend after New Years.  It was a fun and eventful show.   Lots of customers were excited about our merchandise and of course, the weather was fabulous.

Now, we are getting ready for the next three weekends in a row which we will be doing  general antique shows and glass shows.  Our first show will be  the Palmer Wirf’s and Associates Clark County Antique Show on January 21 and 22 at the Clark County Fairgrounds off of I-5 out of Vancouver, Washington.  The following weekend, we will be doing the Portland Rain of Glass Antique Show at the Washington County Fairground in Hillsboro, Oregon across from the Hillsboro Airport—January 28 and 29th.  In February on the 3rd and 4th, we will be doing Palmer Wirf’s and Associates Puyallup Antique Show at the Puyallup Fairgrounds.  Later in the month, we are doing the Green River Glass Club’s Glass Show at the Kent’s Common on February 25 in Kent, Washington.  Check our calender for updates on shows that we will be doing with locations and hours of the shows.

Last year we spent a lot of time learning and searching for great Mid Century Modern items to feature in our store.  It actually became really fun trying to come up with unique and unusual pieces of furniture, lamps and accessories that customers would enjoy to decorate their homes with or use as a central point to decorate around.  Or, to give ideas for completing that special design look that creates a lovely and interesting atmosphere in your home.

Some of these items got featured in our store, while other items went with us on the road to shows.  Our show schedule for 2012 has just begun with our first show which was in Lodi, California the first weekend of 2012.   While doing this show we were featured on their morning TV show with our Mid Century Modern furnishings and the response was unbeliveable.  Customers loved what we brought and stopped in our booth to tells us that they had seen our merchandise and that our feature had drawn them to come to  the show.

Here are a few of the items that we have for sale in our store.  We have a unique set of  these  and comfortable bar stolls.  This set is from COMFORT LINE Since 1905 which includes 6 brown molded plastic chairs seats with orange vinyl on them with chrome  legs and circular foot rest.  The bar stools swivel and are in excellent condition.  These were made in the late 60′s or early 70′s.    Depending on what our customers need we will sell these in 2′s, or a set of 4 or all 6.

We have another pair of heavy duty turquoise and black bar stools that are wooden with vinyl seats and backs.  Brass circular foot rest and brass coverings on the bottom of the wooden black legs.   The seat is 29 1/2″ from the floor and stands 42″ tall.  The seat is 17″x 16″.  These were made in the late 60′s.

We have found wonderful bar accessories, kitchen items and glassware that were very popular during the 50′s to the late 70′s.  The items would add that special charms to your decorating theme.  Here is a glimpse of items that you can find either in our store or at the shows. 

We have found barware and entertaining itmes that was produced by Culver, Ltd  with gold emblossing designs on the pieces.  Cocktail shaker with drink recipes for Bloody Mary, Alexander, Martini, Tom Collins, and more.  Barware from National Silver Co in Emerald Glo pattern.

Alot of different glassware designs and patterns that was produced by Fostoria Glass Company of Moundsville, West Virginia.

One of the newest features that Barbara has gotten involved in is re-upholstering mid-century modern upholstered furniture.   While she is out shopping for unusual items for the store, she has found some ultra modern sofa and chairs that are now displayed for sale in Timeless.  She usually tries to find items that are in excellent original condition.  But once and a while she locates items that are terrific in styles and form but need some TLC.

She found a unique two seat couch that she re-upholstered with barkcloth fabric that has a Jetsen look in the pattern of the fabric.  It’s got really great lines and the fabric sets it off and has been quite a conversation piece when customers walk into the store.

Since displaying the couch, I found a terrific foot stool that I felt would look great with it and re-upholstered it with the same fabric.  Comments by customers have been very positive and exciting.   The set has become a real hit with all ages.

She also re-upholstered a swivel no arm chair in another deco design upholstery fabric.  She choose color selections that were in during the 50′s and 60′s , but that are definitely in home fashion design and decorating now again.  Both pieces are fabulous condition and are ready to move into that special spot in your home.
