I can not believe it’s time to do the fourth of July window at the shop.  It seems like the summer is flying by just like spring did.   Enjoy summer before it’s gone!  You can see Roxy is keeping an ever watchful eye on the world in front of her shop.  Click on images to enlarge.

“Nixon’s the one!”   I have been accused of being a Nixon fan because of all the great Richard Nixon campaign material I have in the window display, to this I have to respond as most antique dealers would:  It’s what I have in stock that’s political and red, white, and blue; so into the window it goes.   I was actually 8 when Nixon was voted into office, so I didn’t have much opinion about him at the time.

Roxy has turned her back on all the Nixon hubbub.  Along with the poster I have two sets of paper glasses that are very mod and an actual “paper dress” that was worn at the convention in 1968.    The rest of the window display holds the flags and bunting that is currently in stock as well as two 1960s hat display heads, one of George Washington.

Enjoy your fourth of July this year!   Independence is a great thing to be truly treasured.  I think it is important to remember the past and those that have contributed to keeping this fine nation independent.    Freedom and liberty for all are not just words.   Happy Fourth!   Click on images to enlarge.
