Edgewater Antique Mall Spring Sale

Just a heads up for Chicago people to let you know that The Edgewater Antique Mall, 6314 N Broadway, is having its Spring sale this weekend, the 19th, 20th and 21st. Business hours are 11 am to 6 pm every day.
 About 55 dealers are offering a large variety of collectibles, antiques, and vintage clothing, jewelry and books. Items range from the extremely eclectic and esoteric to many examples of the current trendy mid-century modern and beyond.

Not to mention that the people there are the best! Plus Nate Berkus shops there, and even gave it a mention in the current Chicago Home magazine!

These few photos I took yesterday are a very, very small sample representative of what you might find there. So if you are looking to expand your collections, go to the sale. I know you will find something great!  Especially since most dealers are offering discounts from 10%  - 30% off regularly priced items. A lot of the discounts will be extended throughout the week.At a minimum it's worth a look just to get some good decorating ideas.


Esoteric and Eclectic


Books


Variety of Interesting Collectibles

Very interesting decorating ideas!

 
Toys and more

 And it's spring! 
Don't you need a baseball?

accumulata on etsy

I opened another shop on Etsy a while ago where I could sell some of vintage items,  collectibles, curiosities, including  supplies and various objects which might be of interest to other artists.

We've always been collectors, so I have lots of little stuff  I need to cull out of my collections. And, as an artist, I am also drawn to the collect all sorts of strange objects. I tell myself I will use them in art pieces someday.  But what really happens is that  they end up in drawers with other things, waiting for the moment when they will be released out into the world again.

That moment has come.

St. Patrick's Day good luck charms. You know you need these.

 
Ten rolls of EKG paper tape. Got to be good for something arty.

I think this little silver sombrero pin is really cute.

 
Doesn't everyone need a dozen of these chrome mirror reflector cups?

I'll be listing things every day all week so keep checking the shop, I know I have something to fill your needs!
