July 12th (R) - July 15th (Sun) from 10 - 7
2018’s Feature:  John Deere

So much to see and do!!!  First you’ll want to visit my husband’s area with lots of awesome tools, primitives, cast iron, woodworking items, and so much more for sale!  Then you can go see the other exhibitors that have lots of things for sale too.  But of course the main things are the tractor displays, steam and gas engine displays, tractor and truck pulls, lawnmower races, horse pulls, unbelievable food at every turn, lots of nice people… and all for $5!!  Best of all, bring the kids and show them a piece of history for free!!  Kids under 12 get in free.  

Don’t forget the free parade on Friday night through Plain City.  Not sure what time it begins, but usually around 5:00 or 6:00.  Lots of candy thrown out for the kids so bring a bag for it and the trash!  Come have fun in Plain City.  Check out our windows while you’re there.  If you see something in the window you want, give me a call and I can possibly give you the price and then we can hold it for you if you want it.  ALWAYS check out our ever changing window decorations because it’s all for sale, except in December when the animated items are there.  Those we keep from year to year.  Of course, if we’re open come in!!!

WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THOSE LEFT BEHIND WHEN YOU'RE GONE WILL NOT KEEP?

I was talking with a customer today about those things that she treasures and why.  She like so many other customers I speak with are worried that their children aren’t going to want any of their items they consider most valuable and NOT because of the monetary value, but what it’s meant to the family.  Throughout what I have to say in this blog, keep in mind that when I say child that this is inclusive to mean any younger person that you may want to share your life with after you’re gone.  I don’t have children of my own, but I’m hoping that nieces, nephews and extended family and friends will want a piece of us to treasure.   PLEASE share stories with your kids.  Don’t assume they’re going to remember the things you’ve told them as they grew up when you weren’t the cool one to listen to necessarily.  Have you ever noticed as your kids get older that it seems that you’re getting smarter in their minds?  You are!  BUT STILL don’t assume that they’re going to remember all of these

TEAPOT LOVERS MUST READ

TEAPOT LOVERS MUST READ I just got in a teapot with a big hump in the bottom.  I’d never seen one like it before and certainly wasn’t sure of the purpose of the hump, so of course I googled it.  The first thing I came to was Wikipedia, which I donate to because I find their information very useful.  The information about teapots that they shared was fascinating.  For example, did you know that when teapots first started that they were all small because they were single serving?  True!  Did you know that porcelain couldn’t be made in Europe in the early 1700s and because most teapots were made of porcelain, it usually was only the richest that could afford them.  Did you know historically the Chinese drank tea from the spout?  I can’t wait to research that a bit more.  I want to know why.  Go to Wikipedia and read about your favorite collectible and maybe consider a small donation.  Unfortunately, I still don’t know the reason for the hump, so if any of you do, please let me know.

IDENTIFYING PORCELAIN MAKER'S MARKS

Sometimes you just really want to know who made a piece of porcelain years and years ago.  You can see the mark, but you just have never heard of it before and you don't know enough info really to google it.  This site only gives a picture and the name, but at least it's a start.  I wish it had more info about the company itself.   Well if you’re looking for a site to do this, I just found a great one, although it didn’t have the one that I’m looking for right now.  They have a picture of the maker’s mark and then identify the maker.  They also have an interesting glossary that identifies some of the porcelain lingo that’s harder to figure out and explanations of many things you’d not even thought about at all.  The question and answer area is also fun to read.  It’s like reading an antique magazine.  Visit and enjoy! https://www.efineantiques.com/webpages/fine_porcelains.htm
