Come early and stay late to antique at Renningers and the Black Angus Antique Malls (one hour away in Pennsylvania). They are among the ten best antique centers in the U.S.A. If you must fly, the Philadelphia International Airport will have shuttle service to the Radisson. Call Delaware Express 1-800-648-5466 twenty four hours ahead for a shuttle reservation. Or you can rent a car at the airport. Sign up now for the bus trip Friday morning which takes you to Winterthur for a museum tour in the morning with lunch and then an afternoon tour of the Museum’s collection of English ceramics. Or, choose the Winterthur Museum tour in the AM with lunch, followed by a guided tour of Longwood Gardens. A difficult decision because the Winterthur’s collection and Longwood Gardens are both world class. If you arrive Friday evening, sign in at the registration table and attend the Flea Market Social. All white ironstone at $25 and under. Great bargains to be found and good fun to be had. Final registration on Saturday morning is followed by Our keynote speaker, Amy Earls, Historical Archeologist, from New Jersey who will talk about “Trenton versus English Ironstone”. There will be a short business meeting and election of board members. This year’s exhibit features wheat shapes in white ironstone. After lunch, a panel of experts host the “Show, Tell and Ask” symposium. A chance for you to bring any unusual, rare or puzzling item for discussion. “Tops and Bottoms” follows. Find that piece that proves that all ‘marriages are not made in heaven’. Saturday evening starts with the Banquet and the Annual Raffle drawing (which benefits our education and research projects) and the surprise door prize drawing. The Auction gives the evening high drama and excitement. This year’s consignments are very special with a footbath, syllabub bowl and two cheese keeps among other wonders! Sunday morning from 9-11 am brings an ironstone collector’s dream. An antique show and sale of all white ironstone. And another bonus to dealers and buyers, no sales tax in Delaware ! We hope you go on to antique the area or go home with a rosy glow from all the fun. We are including with this newsletter a second application form in case you misplaced the first. The Convention time is near, fill it out and send it in now. Be a part of our ironstone celebration !
