Janice Gibson, Sanlando Depression Glass Show

The Sanlando Depression Glass Show and Sale was recently held at the Sanford Civic Center and boy, am I ever glad that I finally got to go.

Bill and Millie Downey

The promoters, Bill and Milley Downey, did a fabulous job of bringing in 28 dealers from all over the U.S. to display their depression glass collections.

I met with glass vendors from Georgia, New York, and Pennsylvania, all of them genuinely nice, friendly, and informative folks with beautiful depression glass collections to show.

Sanlando Depression Glass Show 2009

I was in awe of the beautifully displayed glassware glittering enchantingly everywhere I looked. It was similar to being a kid in it’s favorite candy store. I wanted it all!

Anyway, I had a blast, purchased some beautiful depression glass goodies to share with shoppers at my Hourglass Cottage Antiques shop in St. Cloud, FL, and will absolutely go back in January for the next show. It’s always a joy to reconnect with friends and vendors as I shop for unique treasures, past and present to add to the Hourglass Cottage Antiques collection.
