— including silver, Chinese

by individual collections with

said they were pleased with
their results after just the first
day of the show.

There was more for the repur-
posing home decorator as well.
Amy Goldberg is from Boring,
Md., near Baltimore; she loves
to say that her home town is
just as the name implies, which
always gets a chuckle. She is
busy with repurposing of
things — some of them are
simply offered with fresh sur-
faces, but she also finds fresh
uses for others — and that is
what makes her business a
success.

An extensive collection of vin-
tage fashions could be found at
Charlotte Bevers’ booth. From
Mifflinburg, Penn., she spent
the weekend modeling some of
her extensive collection. With-
out a doubt, this greatly
enhances her sales, for she has
a great eye for style, putting
together outfits from genera-
tions of the not too distant past
that really look Cool! Tony!
Swanky! or whatever the style
word was of the period.

Joan Sides was especially
pleased with this most recent
show as it was the celebration
of 20 years for her DC Big Flea
& Antiques Show. She said,
“The show is still just as strong
as it has ever been and that’s
really a great tribute to my
staff and exhibitors, so many of
whom have been here since the
first.” The attendance at this
January weekend was virtual-
ly the same as always, she
said.

D’Amore Promotions produc-
es this show six times a year at
the Dulles Expo Center. The
next edition is March 3–4.
