Tomorrow is the opening of the Chicago Antique Market. 200 dealers located a mere hop, skip, and a jump from where I live. I will be there as early as possible to see what treasures are there. Last year, I ran across an awesome Thomason corkscrew with a brilliant badge. I passed based on the price, but saw some lovely other things that I did pick up. Last year, the market was much smaller, and this opening session should prove to be quite the happening.
The next entry will either tell the story of great triumph 
or great dissappointment.
