Going, Going, GONE!

It would appear that Going, Going, Gone! is our theme for the week.

First to be Going - it's Last Call for Mimosa Thursdays, this Thursday, August 28. We've had lots of fun with this summer treat (as have our customers!), but good things sometimes come to an end, and we bid Adieu to summer with this final mimosa celebration. Join us if you can - see the News & Events page for more info.

Next to be Going - the Back Room Sale! We started cleaning house with downtown Chestertown's Crazy Days Sale in July, and we've kept it up with 50% savings in the Back Room. But now it's time to make room for new and exciting finds, so it's Last Call for Back Room Bargains this week as well.

And then there's Gone - and all I can say is "WOW"! I feel a little like Sally Fields back when she accepted her Oscar for "Norma Rae" (nothing like showing my age!). Her happy comments became a saying for the era "You like me! You really like me!". We are similarly thrilled at Antiques on Cannon that you have "liked us" so much this past season!

Just last week I brought in a few terrific finds - a giant school room chalkboard that was hip and chic and so much fun - and it is GONE, GONE, GONE, just like that! And then boom - another new find flew out the door - a wonderful mid-century upholstered grey chair that looked like it had just walked out of the Crate & Barrel catalog. It didn't last long enough to really be appreciated!

But here's the good news: There's one more Brimfield Antiques Market left to go this year (www.brimfieldshow.com) and we're heading up on Monday with a 14 foot truck and a mini van to boot. We're just itching to fill it up with more fantastic finds and fun things!

We've got a few treasures tucked away that will make their way into the shop this weekend, and then look for the Brimfield treasures to arrive mid-September.

So keep us on your radar, and get it when you see it, 'cause it won't last long!

On the road again -
