Antiques return to Glen Arbor
From staff reports
Many years have passed since Glen Arbor had antiques and collectibles available in town. But they will be back for one day, Saturday, Jul 23, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at The Cottage Antique Market. Midwest dealers from Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa and Illinois will sell their antique and vintage goods in the Pine Patch at The Cottage Book Shop, 5989 Lake Street between Arts Tavern and Cherry Republic. Exhibitors will bring: vintage linens and quilts, antique and vintage jewelry and art, Victorian, mid-century modern, reupholstered and shabby chic furniture, pillows, unique home and garden pieces, taxidermy items, walking sticks, pottery and china, and unique items for cottage and home décor.
The Market is co-hosted by the book shop and Vintage Cottage, the new antique shop in Leland’s Courtyard Building. Owner Barb Rozner organized antique markets in suburban Chicago where she also ran a shop. She is devoted to providing Leelanau County with quality antiques and her market dealers are excited to be included in her first Leelanau Cottage Antique Market. Barbara Siepker of The Cottage Book Shop is pleased that the Pine Patch, which traditionally hosts twice weekly story hours and summer book signings, will be hosting these exhibitors.
The event benefits The Leelanau Press, a nonprofit publisher of Leelanau County history, authors and artists. They have published: Historic Cottages of Glen Lake (Barbara Siepker), Mapping the Grand Traverse Indian Country (Helen Hornbeck Tanner), and Glen Arbor Pioneers: John LaRue, John Dorsey and John Fisher, (Jim Tozer). In lieu of an admission charge, donations will be accepted.
Refreshments include an all-day old fashioned pie booth provided by Covered Wagon Bakery. Mark your calendars and come early for the best choice and the chance to enjoy the day as an American Picker.
