check it:  every august for the past four or five years, holly (of black coffee fame) and i have made the trek to somerset for the town’s annual antique show. 

it’s a chance to escape the city for a day with the added bonus of church fair food (hot dogs and sauerkraut, funnel cake and rc cola, diabetes and cardiac arrest).  

oh yah, and antiques, too.

one year i found a totally creepy brooch (is it a cat?  is it a fox?).  i named him roger.  observe:  

rogerhey roger!

another year, holly and i picked up metal locker bins ($3 each!) from an old high school gym.  i’ve purchased jewelry, vintage aprons and linens, glassware, books, etc.  point is, there is a huge selection that spans several blocks, a parking garage and a couple empty lots.

this year, the antique show is on august 11th, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. 

visit the somerset county chamber of commerce website for more info.
