This weekend Pog and I went to Jill Peterson’s Days of the Pioneer Antique Show, which
was held at the Museum of Appalachia in Clinton, TN. The museum is one of my
favorite places! Each time I have been there I have such a wonderful feeling. I
truly love this place and to attend an antique show on the grounds was
delightful. There were so many early American and Colonial antiques, really too
much to take it all in. Wooden bowls,
dough boards, firkins, bee skeps, cabinets, shelves, quilts, coverlets and
early textiles, and the list could go on and on. We managed to bring home a
couple of nice pieces but I didn’t have a boat-load of money to spend so I had
to leave a lot behind!!
Enjoy the pictures of the show and our finds!

This is a large grain storage barrel from Staunton, VA area. The age is
estimated to be around late 1800,s. It has been cleaned up but I loved
how sturdy it was and the look of the wood.
Hope you had a
great weekend too.
