Antique Antics (Part One)

Posted by

There are two antiques shows I try not to miss every year: The first is the East Hampton Antiques Show held at Mulford Farm (stay tuned for my finds from the second). It's a beautiful show brimming over with great dealers. Martha and I both agreed that this was one of the best year's in terms of offerings in a long time, so I wanted to share a few of my favorite discoveries.

(Also, where did the summer go?!)
