The search began with a drive to California. And, as we
crossed the Mojave Desert, what did we see in the distant horizon?
We made it to Long Beach, CA (you can see Della and me on the PBS “Market
Warriors” Long Beach episode on Monday Feb. 4). We drove up one side of the state
and down the other. Next we hit New Mexico with Associate Show Director Cissy Thompson, looking for dealers from mid-century
modern to Native American and African tribal art. Up to Oklahoma, over to Arkansas,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, New York and Massachusetts. Spent the night on the
edge of Niagara Falls. Back down to Texas, to Round Top, back up to Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana, and as far north as Curtis, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula,
actually about as far north as you can
go. This week we’ll hit Kansas City and
tiny Weston, MO, home of our friend Fancy from Cactus Creek Trading Co. We get
around.
The show is filling up with over 100 of the most creative,
cutting-edge exhibitors from coast to coast. For previews of dealers and
merchandise coming to the 50th Anniversary Fort Worth Show March 8
