Antiques show brings out crowd
NEW HARTFORD -- Furniture, from upholstered chairs to sleek wooden end tables, was the big seller Saturday at the seventh annual Mohawk Valley Antiquefest.
People have been flooding in the crowds been very good, said festival organizer Gerald Dischiavo.
This is the first year the show was held at Danieles Banquet Specialists, and the smaller setting with about 35 dealers made a huge difference, he said.
Its not overbearing, and people dont feel overwhelmed, he said. The show was previously held at the Mohawk Valley Convention Center.
Tony Perretta was grinding glass and his wife, Patti, was selling a mix of antiques, including dolls, china, furniture and glassware.
The New Hartford couple has been participating in the show for seven years, and said Saturdays business had been good.

Store's 'junque' not too shabby
PORT RICHEY - Down in a low-lying strip mall, near a vacant, run-down building and Fred's discount store, women gasp. A pink rocking chair! Antique egg holders! Chenille bedspread! Vintage nursery lamps! Surprise. Tucked away off busy, not-so-attractive Ridge Road is Junk to Junque, a "shabbily chic shoppe" run by longtime friends Ginnie Logan and Donna Bollman. Located in a former medical office, Junk to Junque is part artsy boutique, part antique shop and is set up as a series of decorated rooms that feel almost like the inside of an English cottage. The women study home decor magazines to come up with touches like hanging silver forks on the walls to hold photographs. Their inventory - from decorated bird cages to 1950s kitchen canisters to a pink transistor radio - is aimed at women who like the "shabby chic" look.
