Twenty-two things I love about the Old Glory Antiques Fair!

This year, Old Glory will host the twenty-sixth annual Old Glory Antiques Fair,
an outdoor antiques show featuring over 70 dealers from Colorado and surrounding states. I look forward to hosting this event all year long! 

The 2013 show will be held on June 14 + 15 at beautiful Clement Park in Littleton, Colorado. I hope you can join us! You can keep up with the Fair, get behind-the-scenes updates, and see what special events and guests we'll have this year on our blog:

And since today is February 22nd, and since twenty-two happens to be my favorite number, I decided to share twenty-two things I love about the Old Glory Antiques Fair...

Early Mornings at the Shop

I love the early mornings I spend at the shop. The calm and quiet beauty leaves me feeling inspired, energized, and oh-so-lucky to be doing what I love. 

I had to take a few pictures to share!
