This year's trek to the bucolic town of Bouckville
for the annual Madison Bouckville Antique Extravaganza
proved to be extra special as I shared the experience
with my sister Lynn.
Through a stroke of luck we were able to find last minute
accommodations at a lovely B & B close by...
...which allowed us to extend our shopping
to a full three day girls gone wild adventure!
I took hundreds of photos...
...here are some from our first day...last Tuesday.
We found some of those olive buckets which are so popular now
but they were a bit too pricey for me.
We visited with our friends Marianne and Mike
(MM Antiques and Collectibles)
(MM Antiques and Collectibles)
The Carriage Place, Brockport, NY
They shared a tent with another of their dealer friends and had wonderful country primitives...all displayed so beautifully.
This scrapbook was filled with boxing related photos and ephemera.
In the Butternut Hill field, we once again visited Vicky Potter
in her beautiful booth.
I can never walk away empty handed
from her pretty vintage treasures and gorgeous vignettes.
Lynn and I met up with Judi from The 1829 Farmhouse
and her lovely interior designer friend Taylor.
We shared lunch and some good conversation before we all set off to hunt for more treasures.
More pictures to come of days 2 and 3!
We returned to the lake Thursday night
and family started arriving on Friday.
Dad had all four of his children together here for a long weekend
and some of his grandchildren too!
Some are still with us and it has been very busy but tons of fun!
Next week my niece and nephew are off to college...
...can't believe how fast the summer has gone!
:)
What a busy lady you are. Love the photos of all the wonderful antiques. I would have gone into information overload, looking at all the booths.
ReplyDeleteLoved the 'Sister Doll' I have one just like it that I want to sell.
bellissime immagini! da noi nel centro italia non ci sono mercatini di questo genere! ho visto decine di oggetti che avrei comprato! tantissimi complimenti, questo blog è veramente stupendo!
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, Madison Bouckville is one of my favourite shows here in the East. Not far from The Canadian border near Albany, it is somewhat attainable for me! I have attended two years in a row, but missed out this time as we were away...Great fun, isn't it? Your photos are great, love the olive baskets too! Hope you are enjoying this beautiful summer! N.xo
ReplyDeleteWow! SO much fun eye candy!! I'd be in heaven :)

omiword! i loved so many things i had to scroll up to list them all! the cross, all those postal-looking drawers/file cabinets, the flags! the toy money! yummyyyyy!!! i'd be in heaven.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that you could have your sister along for all the fun. Judging by the photos you had a ball. I'm anxious to see more. And what treasures did you bring home with you?
It's so nice that you could all be at the lake with your dad. It's my first summer in ions away from Upstate NY. It all makes me so homesick. Fondly, Marjorie
oh man! oh man! oh man!
ReplyDeleteI hope our paths will cross at Bouckville some year! I recognize a few of the photos, but most of them not - it's fun to see all those treasures through someone else's eyes. I bought a few things from Vicki - lovely stuff!
ReplyDeleteI grew up 20 miles east of Madison Bouckville. The antiques are amazing in the Mohawk Valley Region... Central Leatherstocking Region...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE to see your photographs. The treasures that make you smile and a familiar style. :)
If you happen to be near the Westmorland exit of the NYS Thruway, there is an antique co-op in a rustic barn. Great treasures~
Thank you for sharing so many wonderful photographs!
So glad you're enjoying family :)
Wow, what fantastic finds. I could easily spend someone else's fortune there.
ReplyDeleteWOW! There sure are a lot of wonderful items there! I love the white dishes and the chest with all the drawers! I could seriously drop some change here! HAH :)
ReplyDeleteOMG please tell me you bought all of those flags and bunting???? I LOVE it all! Missed you last Saturday for dinner, but we will do it again in Beaune! xxoo~ A
ReplyDeleteAs I sit here drooling over all the goodness I am hoping Lynn enjoyed herself!! Such a fun thing for sisters to do together!
ReplyDeleteHow great for your dad to have all that family around.

thanks for sharing all the great pictures, I always love looking at flea market pictures of where women travel
It was fun visiting this market with you.
ReplyDeleteI would really love to know how much the asking price for these items were. It would help me in deciding what to buy when I shop.
Looks like it was really fun! So many great treasures.
