Waiting for the weekend

A couple of days ago I was asked if I’ve been busy shopping at all the antiques shows this summer — and I had to say no.
Sure, there are shows scattered here and there but for me, the serious time is about to get under way.
I always use Antiques in the Park, just over the Rockland border in Westwood, N.J., as a sign my “busy season� is about to start.
I’ve made a point of going this late-August show for the last few years. (This year’s edition is set for Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Veterans Park on Broadway. Admission is free.)
It’s a good-looking show and one where I always tend to do well. I might not pick up a lot — but I always love what I find, be it a brooch, vase or piece of ephemera.
And from there, it begins.
I’ll hit Stormville on Labor Day weekend, head back to Brimfield, Mass., later that week and then poke around in south Jersey when on vacation the week after that.
And that just takes me to mid-September!
There’s no shopping list for any of this — which makes the possibilities unlimited.
Do you like to hit the flea markets and antiques shows?
I sure do — and can’t wait for Sunday’s “season-opener.�
