Summer finally arrived in the northeast with heat, humidity, and sunshine that just won’t quit. Luckily, we visited the lake house this weekend, so when we were uncomfortably hot, we just slipped into the cool water. Chick played in the water endlessly. She was in the water yesterday from the early morning until we drove off in the early evening.
My sister-in-law, Beth, and I bravely decided to face the heat, and visit The Madison-Bouckville antique show in NY, which is, conveniently, only 17 minutes up the road from the lake. This is where I found the above handkerchief and the 1940’s business ledger tablet pictured below. There was a whole stack of the Blair’s Mail bill head tablets, but I figured that I would just scan one of the ledger sheets into my computer and have it forever.
I read about the fair on Maya’s blog just before we headed out the door on Friday evening, and was instantly motivated to make my way there since I knew we would be mere miles away from antique paradise. Sadly, I didn’t bring my camera because I felt wimpy and a little fearful of the extra sweat that would run down my neck from carrying it. We were drippy and hot and thirsty, but it was totally worth it since there were so many reasonably priced treasures to be found like this sunny salad bowl.
I’ll hopefully be there next year with my camera!

I have the twin to that bowl- it was my grandmother’s!
