We three friends (Kim, Deb and Stacey) will be bringing new inventory from far and wide to please all of our friends. We've had some fabulous jaunts scouting out lots of new treasures in the past 6 months all though out PA, MD, OH, NY, VA and beyond. As per usual we will have tons of vintage and antique sewing wares like buttons, trims, fabric, pincushions, tape measures and notions as well as antique dolls, toys, folkart and lots of quirky unique pieces that strike our fancy. We will also have our one-of-a-kind art for sale as well. Below are a few quick snaps I took in the studio as I was pricing and packing just some of what we will be bringing.<br />

The DC Big Flea Episode of Market Warriors on PBS was televised this past Monday, February 11th and it was so fun to watch. The filming took place in July 2012. It's quite surreal to see on TV what you have seen in person and are familiar with and we recognized quite a few of our dealer friends and their wares. Although the Warriors didn't purchase anything from the Truffle Pigs they did stop in our booth looking for the target item: miniature furniture.<br />
<br />
Here are some still shots showing our booth:<br />

All three of us love Market Warriors and often call each other to chat/recap after each episode. I have to say this is my favorite antiques related show because I feel it gives the most realistic view of antique buying and selling. Of course in the real world most dealers purchase from a variety of sources(auction, flea markets, estate sale, yard sale, shops and private collections) and likewise sell in a variety of similar ways based on the best market for a particular item. Antiques Roadshow seems to only highlight rare and highly valuable items for the wow factor and tends to focus on the same types of categories. How much more art glass, guns and Asian art do we have to see! Market Warriors appeals to my geek side, educating me about many categories and price ranges. </div>

We must confess, we were so busy waiting on customers that we hadn't even realized that we were being filmed so it was a thrilling surprise when we watched Monday's episode. If you missed it you can still catch it here: <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/market-warriors/episodes/episode/antiquing-chantilly-va/" target="_blank">Market Warriors Episode Chantilly Virginia</a></div>

After the show was downsized (reduced from 2 buildings to one) we had our own little show at the near-by Holiday Inn for two great events. We have now been invited back to the July DC Flea and we are thrilled!<br />

We were thrilled to catch up with old friends, hang out with our artist chums and even get in some antiquing.

</div>Even Truffle Pigs need to take a break once in awhile and get some inspiration. We are hoping to get together in the next month or so and visit <a href="http://www.winterthur.org/?p=901">this</a> delicious exhibit "With Cunning Needle" at the Winterthur Museum. The touchstone of the exhibit features the Plimouth Jacket, pictured above. Recreated at Plimouth Plantation in 2006 it sheds new light on the tools and skills of 17th century embroidery masters.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The exhibit also focuses on the tools, techniques, and the story behind a completed piece--something I have always been fascinated by and a direction I wish more museums would take. I always think to myself, "How did they do that?"</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Deb and I will be at this <a href="http://www.friendsinchristmas.com/">show</a> 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.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">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.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our event was held in the Grand Duke Room at the Holiday Inn and couldn't have been more perfect. There was ample room for shopping not to mention the air conditioning on a 100 + degree day! We enjoyed being able to chat and visit with our friends and customers which is sometimes difficult to do at a crowded show. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
