BACKGROUND:
My name is Tonia North, I have been an an antique dealer for over 20 years. My postcards business was named "A Memory In Time" and in February of 2017, I took over what was once Dovetail Antiques from the owner whom has since retired. The previous owner, Debbie Haggaii has kept the name and will now focus on shows and Estate Sales. You can follow her on the Dovetail Antiques Facebook page.
Myself, a dealer and two consignors remained with North Star Antiques and are still working with us. We also have four new dealers.

DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF SELLING AT A FLEA MARKET
Vendors Booths and Showcases will be available on a temporary basis. Because we are a smaller store, we feel that our dealers and customers will benefit most by rotating the inventory as best we can. For this reason, we will be renting most of our showcases and extra rooms on a more temporary basis. This could be a daily special event, only a week, or for a whole month. These vendors will be bringing in wonderful items from either their own estate or they are dealers or collectors downsizing inventory. Either way, they are motivated sellers.
Vendors will be limited to 1 months use per showcase or room. They are allowed to renew a showcase (So a total of 2 months per vendor per showcase) one time, as long as inventory rotates completely. In addition to their rent, Vendors are also subject to additional advertising fees of up to 10%. (NOTE: But if you have something we are interested in, we are not afraid to barter.)
