“Mennonite Couple” – Shadfly Antiques

This winter has been a rough one, colder than I can remember and just plain long and dull! I guess it is true what they say, when stranded indoors during the winter, cabin fever can set in! My wife Nena popped her head into my office and said, “Do you have cabin fever?” I think I growled something back in a guttural snarling humph! Only to find she had surprised me with a weekend away in Kingston to take-in Cabin Fever Antique Show held every year on the first weekend of February.

This show is one of the best I have seen the quality and quantity of antiques were amazing. I took the opportunity to take a few shots, and included a few notable ones here. Well worth the effort to get out to this show, and I thank Nena for breaking the monotony, I will definitely be out again next year! Cooper
Thank you for the photos as we now cannot gather for these shows.
Thank you Elizabeth 🙂
