~ Gatherings ~

Each Spring and Fall Agnes Strauss has been setting up at the Marburger Farm Antique Show almost since day one.  She said herself and a handful of vendors set up in a tent.  She's now in a tent of her own.  Her business cards says it all, "A collection of natural treasures from the fields, the woods, & the seashore". 

You will most definitely find one of a kind, unique treasures that Agnes has created from seashells attached to great vintage bottles, or naturally dried hydrangeas, or as she had this time one of the best displays that I just couldn't stop staring at. 

I could have envisioned her "woodlands" display in a home, that you'll see in the first picture below, in a garden house, or even an office.  Yes I would have put it in my office in heart beat.

Take a look at what she creates:

 

This piece of coral caught my attention:

 

It was one of the prettiest pieces of coral I've seen in a while and paired with the mirror was beautiful.

The bottles she welds with shells are works of art on their own.  Add them to your collection or start a new one.

 

The shells that have naturally formed on these bottles were interesting to see.

 

More great things that she had in her booth.

 

Even her displays outside were appealing:

 

I hope you look for Agnes the next time you come to the show.  You can't miss her, just look for all the plants outside her tent when you drive into the show.  So much more to come.
