This is the first day of the monthly antique shows and it's like Christmas Eve again.
Monster can hardly sleep the night before and on the second Thursday of the month, he gets up and dressed at 4AM and drives to the Scott Antique show to be there as the trucks are unloading. He lays out his freshy washed and ironed clothes the night before so he has one less thing to think about in the early morning haze. And he gives himself a haircut/trim and the best shave of the month. All this so he can make a proper presentation for his public - the dealers at the shows.
So he's off hunting for treasures again this weekend. I hope he finds wonderful stuff to sell.
It won't be quite the same next month, when there will be one less place to check on because the Lakewood Fleamarket will be gone. Dealers got their 30-day notice last month, so I'm curious about whether the fleamarket will go out with a bang (LOTS of incredible merchandise) or a whimper (mostly empty).
