Diane Morgan Gibble and family started the Miss Morgans Milkweed Antiques show 19 years ago in Bethel, Pa., and grew the show into an event. By event, I mean a 200-vendor large-scale show of both antique vendors and artisan craftspeople, and a lot of fun. This year, it is slated for Friday and Saturday, Oct. 2 and 3, at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center in Lebanon, Pa. Gibble fills the exhibit halls with artisans and handmade crafts and also with antique and vintage antique dealers selling a wide variety of merchandise. Country primitive material is the mainstay. Pavilions are loaded with everything from decorative items to primitive antiques and accessories, garden, industrial, architectural, tools, and more. There are artisans selling jewelry, clothing, hooked rugs, pottery, and seasonal decorative items, among other items. The mix of old and new works for Gibble. The show has a following and pulls shoppers from well outside the region. Southeastern Pennsylvania is truly the heartland for antiquing. In todays market, this is more evident than ever. The theme is Americas 250th. The photos show a glimpse of what to expect. To learn more or purchase advance tickets, call 484-256-7610 or visit www.morgansmilkweedantiques.com. The hours will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 2 and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 3.
