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 Miami Beach Convention Center presently

The Miami Beach Convention will undergo major renovations, again, forcing the Original Miami Beach Antique Show to move next year, 2017. The construction was to have begun last month on the $615 million expansion. Two halls will be closed during the initial phase, leaving two halls open. Construction of the convention center and adjacent hotel are to be completed in 2018.

The new location will be the Miami-Dade Fair Expo Center, southwest of the Miami Airport, with new dates of February 10-13, 2017. Not sure at the moment if that means the show will stay one or two years at the new location. Moving back to Miami Beach and the new facility will be a pleasure.

Miami-Dade County Fair & Exposition Center

Remember the Miami Antiques + Art + Design Show, The Airport Show, will open to the public next Friday, January 22, 2016 at noon. We’ll be there with a very strong selection, so I hope you can make it.

The following week the Original Miami Beach Antique Show will open to the public, as usual, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. You should attend, just for the memories alone.

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.
