November 2017

We’ve had an unusually warm autumn and it has been beautiful in spite of the lack of the brilliant color we had all anticipated. No predictions for winter from me—even the woolly bears can’t decide what kind of winter we should expect—I’ve even seen some that are totally blond!

For those of you who are early risers, the Antiques Market in Barre at the Canadian Club opened on October 22. The Market runs every other Sunday except for December. November shows are the 12th and 26th. In 2018 the dates are January 14th and 28th; February 11th and 25th; March 11th and 25th; and April 8th. The Market opens at 8am and closes at 1pm.  Admission for early buyers (8am) is $5; general admission (9am) is $2. The Canadian Club is located on Route 14 north of Barre.

Many VADA dealers will be set up in West Lebanon, New Hampshire at the Lebanon Antiques Show and Sale on Sunday, November 19th.  The show is held at the Fireside Inn and Suites at Exit 20 off I-89. Show hours are 10am to 3pm and admission is $6. Just in time for some Christmas shopping.

Sharon Boccelli of S.B. and Company Auctioneers, Bellows Falls, Vermont, will be wholesaling the contents of estates out of their auction hall for the remainder of 2017. Stock changes weekly. Hours are Monday and Tuesday 9am to 5pm. Other days by chance or appointment. Please call before going as they may be on the road. For more information call 802-460-1190 or email info@sbauctioneers.com

A reminder that our semi-annual VADA meeting is November 14th at the Middlebury Inn. The board meeting is at 9:30; show committee at 10:30; and general meeting at 11:30. There will be a show-and tell program which should be fun. Hope to see you there!

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
