Big Flea

A fun day shopping with Eddie Ross and Jaithan at the Dulles Expo Big DC Flea.

 

 

Check in with Jaithan, organizer extraordinaire.
A stop to learn about glass from an expert dealer.

Jasperware in this booth.

Ivory handled knives and forks were a good buy.

 

 Linens and their care.

 

Blue flow ware

More dishes to pull a colors from for a festive table. 

 Blue plates in different patterns to collect.

I recently got this group of plates from a thrift store.  Five dinner, bread & butter, salads $30 for everyday use. 

I already have some nice soup dishes from a December estate sale.

Prints and framing tips.

Fabulous silver dealer.

This dealer had a mix of things, but Eddie focused on the copper.

 

 I had stopped here before the tour and loved these two matching watercolor portraits

 He was particularly nice.

They also had amazing samplers.  Tiny, fine stitches, imaginative design...this one had a duck pond and the child's animals around the house.  She was eleven!  One had the ten commandments rendered in verse.  One was by a six year old!  Can you imagine?

At the end of the day, a fine time had with friends.

If you get a chance take an "Eddie Tour" for an education.  He'll be at the  Scott Antique Market, Atlanta  GA next week.
