Mary de Buhr Antiques

 It was good to see everyone in Durham New Hampshire. The weather couldn't have been better and the

U of NH campus was just what I had pictured it would be with large red brick Colonial Style buildings. Whittemore Center was easy to spot as it was the only modern building on the campus with it's Lacrosse games going on in front. Someone asked me if my commute to New England is getting easier or more difficult. My answer was, "It all depends on how good the audio books are I've borrowed from the library," and of course the weather. This time the weather was perfect, the books were good and of course I found antiques to bring back home. I always think of each trip and show as an adventure and I love adventure!

This past weekend I participated in the Civil War Show in Wheaton, IL. How nice to do a show that is only 15 miles from home! That show also covers the Revolutionary War through WWII, so there is always much to see and learn. I managed to find some treasures from the 18th Century that I'll take to Kokomo.

I'm already looking forward to Pure and Simple Antique Show and Sale in Kokomo IN on Saturday, May 5. Look for us in booth number 45, which is in the center isle. We'll have a good variety of furniture as well as small accessories for the early American country home. This show always has a great variety of treasures for every level of collecting and is a great way to celebrate May! I look forward to seeing you there!

Safe travels and happy collecting,
Mary
