Friends In Christmas Show


Deb and I will be at this show with our art work and antiques. This just may be my favorite show of the year! It is held in my good friend, Paul Gordon's studio which at one time was an old store and is filled with charming antiques available for sale including toys, sewing items, folk art and of course holiday collectibles. If you are lucky you can take a peak into the rabbit warren of rooms where he makes his amazing creations.

Customers from across the country flock to this intimate little event that seems more like a Christmas Party with lots of sweet treats and Paul's Special Punch. Everyone stays for the entire day, catching up with old friends and walking the streets of the quaint town of Martinsburg visiting all of the unique shops and restaurants.

Great News!

Truffle Pigs will once again be having a show at the Holiday Inn Chantilly, Virginia on Saturday, January 7, 2012 (occuring at the same time as the January DC Big Flea right next store at the Expo Center). Our show will take place in the Grand Duke Ballroom (same location we had in July).



Some exciting changes are in store as well. Paul Gordon, a great friend for many years and an amazing artist will be joining us. Paul has been collecting antiques for decades and is ready to deaccession some of his collection of sewing items, fabrics, trims, dolls and toys.

In addition, in the afternoon we will be offering some classes and/or lectures. Lots more deatils to be determined soon so check back to the blog in the coming weeks.
