Great Weather, Good Gate And Sales At Americana Celebration
:It is an experience and great fun to talk to Nan Gurley when she is behind the counter of her country store that she runs in Cornish, Maine. As she was right in the middle of talking on the phone about her last antiques show, Americana Celebration at the Deerfield Fairgrounds in Deerfield, N.H., she said, "Hold on for a minute; I have to put the phone down to sell a lady a notebook for $5."
When she came back on the line, she said dealers reported to her that they had good shows, adding, "I did not get one complaint." A few of the exhibitors at this Tuesday show, August 9, during Antiques Week in New Hampshire, did complain about the heat setting up on Monday. "It really was not bad, they should have been here in years past when the temperature was in the mid-90s," she said.
But back to the last show. Nan said that about 450 people were in line for early buying, which started at 8 am, and the gate ended up "just about the same as last year." Then, "Wait another minute, a lady now wants some candles," she said, as the phone went down for a second time. When she came back, she suggested that we talk again at a later date when customers did not need her complete attention. And apparently she is kept busy, operating a country store from the front and an antiques shop from two back rooms in an 1835 Greek revival building that once was the longest operating hardware store in Maine.
This year Nan had one more dealer than last year, and opened up an additional building to provide eight more inside booths. "Seven of my outside exhibitors moved in, so it left one row almost empty, giving the appearance that the show was smaller," Nan said.
For the most part, Americana Celebration is an all-country show, and no one proves it any better than Mary de Buhr of Downers Grove, Ill. Holding down her usual corner of the first building, she offered a collection of early objects and fabrics. A rack at the back of the booth held a selection of treen plates, and several linen grain sacks, circa 1850, S.B. Liasenbiger, hung on the wall. A spoon rack had a note attached, "good for pipes also," and it was filled with early clay pipes.
