As you know I manage an antique show for a local charity I support, Surrey Services for Seniors. Yesterday, I was asked to appear on Surrey Solutions a program they film for the local community television network in our township which gets shared with other neighboring community channels as well. I borrowed some items from some of our local exhibitors and for about half an hour we chatted and discussed the show. If you are local, you can obtain complimentary general admission tickets at the show website www.MainLineAntiquesShow.com. You can order … (6 comments)
the main line antiques show: Being Human
- 08/08/17 07:43 AM
I grew up in a family which dealt in antiques, every trip to the countryside often resulted in a purchase as did our vacations as well. This is a photo of my Dad at a major antiques show in London called The Grosvenor House Fair, held at the hotel on Park Lane in London in the ballroom, unfortunately the show is no longer in existence. I did not want to be an antique dealer, I joined the British Army and went to Sandhurst, our equivalent of West Point after high school. But I had injured my back just before I went and … (27 comments)
Rather than needing to move, they can age in place, no rush. Located in Devon with locations in Media and Broomall as well, this local charity just received four stars out of four for the fourth year running by Charity Navigator. One of the things about Surrey is the number of volunteers who give of their time and energy to the charity. This allows them to keep their costs down and to help more people. Started around a kitchen table, it now has multiple local locations and provides … (9 comments)
the main line antiques show: Why did I do it?
- 10/18/16 03:56 AM
Why did I do it? This may be a question you ask yourself often or not and context is crucial to how that question makes you feel. Did the question make you cringe? Or maybe it started your brain off on an analytical process of organizing your thoughts about your beliefs. To be honest I have asked myself this question in both contexts. I am very outspoken, and if you want an opinion I can give you one, what is the subject? Looking back that makes me cringe, even reading those words is embarrasing. There have been actions I have taken, things I … (2 comments)
the main line antiques show: How varied was your week?
- 09/06/12 06:02 AM
One of the things I love about real estate on Philadelphia's Main Line is how varied your week can be. It allows you to be flexible with your time and how different each day can be. As long as you schedule your time correctly you can always make those important family appointments. Yes, there are some "customers" who cannot wait and will call another agent to show them a property, but you probably don't want to work with them anyway because they don't value you or your knowledge that you bring to the process. However, it works both ways, there are days … (0 comments)

Saturday 10-7 PM and Sunday 11-5 PM. As the organizer of the Main Line Antiques Show why am I telling you to visit another show.

Antiques are one of the major ways you can go green. Go green, … (1 comments)
