My goal is to publish new posts twice a week — Mondays and Thursdays. However, if you don’t see a new post on Thursday, it’s because I was too busy, so please look for a new one the following Monday.
The Original Miami Beach Antique Show opens today, January 28, 2016, at noon, and will end on Monday at 5 PM. Visit the show and enjoy it at the Miami Beach Convention Center, possibly for the last time (at least that’s what a couple of the dealers are saying). As I’ve said before, The Miami Beach Convention Center will undergo major renovations, forcing the Original Miami Beach Antique Show to move next year, 2017, and possibly more years after that.
We’ll have this fabulous Tiffany lamp at the show
Setup was a bit different this year, having been extended to three days from the usual two. Management anticipated problems that never materialized, so setup was smooth, easy and relaxed. I was able to purchase a few very fine items to complement the already fabulous selection I brought. One of them was a real kick to find. It’s an all glass Tiffany Arabian lamp that I’ve never seen in this large, 20″ tall, size. Plus it has four carved insects on the shade. Fabulous!
The common Tiffany Arabian lamp is about half the size

Monday’s blog will be delayed until Tuesday, so I can tell you the results of the show. It’s one you won’t want to miss.
I’ve been quite busy buying and selling recently, partly because I’ve listed many new items on my website. I need to buy more, so if you have something great, please offer it to me. I am paying the highest prices of any dealer. My decisions are quick and my payments just as quick. Just snap a photo and email me a jpeg.
I always strive to offer the finest objects for sale on my website and at every show. I will continue to list more as often as possible. Please click here to take a look.There are many items for sale, sold items with prices and free lessons about glass and lamps. And remember to keep reading my blog.
Yesterday was the first day of setup at the Miami Antiques + Art + Design Show, The Airport Show, which will open to the public this Friday, January 22, 2016 at noon. Setup went smoothly, but it’s a big job, so we only finished about half. We’ll finish today and be ready for the public tomorrow.
Last year’s Airport Show was canceled by the promoter, U.S. Antique Shows, leaving a vacuum. Dolphin Fairs had sold the Airport Show to U.S. Antique Shows several years ago. When U.S. Antique Shows announced a few months ago they were folding the show, Dolphin Fairs stepped back in and started a new show to replace it. It looks and smells just like the original show, but isn’t. Got it?
