family learned to sew. It’s now a decoration in her home.
Another Country Living Fair vendor was Mary
Kinsel of Candied Cousins in Ohio. She described her
store as an “antiques emporium offering everything
from buttons to furniture.”
Kinsel, who’s been in the antiques business for 15
years, cited two factors for the current popularity of
antiques and country styles.
“Because of the TV shows and access to the internet
everyone wants to decorate with true antiques,” said
Kinsel.
She offered the following advice for those getting
started and unsure how to begin adopting vintage styles.
“Buy what you love, what you want to surround
yourself with,” said Kinsel. “Don’t be afraid to make it
your own.”
She also advised not to be hesitant about items with
chips, scratches and other signs of wear and tear. “Most
stuff is over 100 years old so it’s going to have some
kind of character,” she said.
Kim Rowe of Atlanta attended the fair with her
mother and two daughters, and they didn’t leave empty
handed. A vintage wooden sled, a woven pillow and
giant pine cones were along their purchases.
Rowe said she grew up in rural Hudson Valley
of New York state and is fond of vintage and country
styles.
“I think it’s so homey,” said Rowe. “You can make it
very modem and it has a lot of character.”
She said she planned to use the pine cones for
holiday decorating and display the sled on her front
porch.
