“Pretty well all of our first time visitors are blown away by what we have on the show floor” laughs Show Organizer Catherine Knoll. “We understand that ‘nearly new’ Designer handbags from Gucci, Prada, Fendi and Ferragamo , amazing contemporary Maritime carvings, retro hats and fine jewellery are not what you might expect at a typical ‘antiques show’ – but Ottawa’s largest antiquing event is far from your typical antiques show!” Knoll says the show has changed along with the changing tastes of shoppers. Attendees can now find nearly new, retro, vintage along with antiques. “This has opened up a huge array of wonderful inventory that attracts shoppers of all ages” says Knoll.
