Antiques & Collectible Markets in Southern California
By Andie Haynes
Hello all,
I just came across a site for the Sausalito (CA) Vintage Jewelry & Antiques Show. I was wondering if anyone has participated/ visited or heard anything about this show? You can view the information at http://www.goldengateshows.com. The dates are May 7th & 8th. For anyone interested the booth fees range from $395 – $795. Just click on the dealer information. If you’ve never participated in a show before, I’d highly recommend visiting the show beforehand (it could be a dream or a dog).
Other antique flea markets I’ve been to (CA) which have a good sampling of vintage jewelry:
- Long Beach Antique Market (3rd Sun of each month) http://www.longbeachantiquemarket.com
- Rose Bowl Flea Market (2nd Sun of each month) http://www.rgcshows.com.
- The Grove Antique Market @ Irvine Valley College (1st Sun of each month/no website)
Please share in the comments any information about venues representing vintage jewelry you would recommend. Venues do not have to be located in Southern California.
I am rather surprised by the booth fees. In my area, central WI, I have not heard of fees being that high. Everything I have checked into has been lower than $100. Perhaps if I were closer to a bigger city, the prices would be higher.
I would be interested in any shows near Chicago, IL or Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. How are the shows there? Does any one know?
