I can hardly believe it is almost the end of June.  But it is, and the good news is that the time has come to get ready for our fave antique show of the year – the Round Lake Antiques Festival next Saturday and Sunday, June 27 & 28.  We love this show for lot of reasons, many of which I wrote about here last year.

There is a ton of work to be done this week in preparation for our departure Friday morning, and I am excited to plunge in.  We try to bring everything to this show, so we need to do some digging around here looking for the hidden treasures – stuff we have bought and “tucked away” (read: forgotten about.)   We also have an afternoon’s work pulling cupboards and other bigs out of the barn to wash and organize.  I need to spend time sorting and pricing jewelry and linens.  And then there are the little details, like a trip to the DMV to register the trailer, and an appointment to get a hitch installed on the new van.  So it will be a crazy week, but that is okay.  It will culminate in a hopefully busy and successful show complemented by time spent relaxing and enjoying good friends and good food.  What could be better?

I will get back here this week with some sneak peek photos as we pack and prepare for the show.  Make your plans now to attend – its a very fun show to shop, and worth a trip!
