WHITE MILLS, PA — The annual Fall Foliage Antique Show and Sale will be held at the renovated Dorflinger Glass Cutting Factory on Route 6 midway between Hawley and Honesdale on Saturday and Sunday, October 11 and 12.

Show and sale hours are Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The requested donation of $5 per person for the show also includes guided tours of the renovated Dorflinger office, which is the bluestone building adjacent to the factory. The tour features a private collection of some of the finest examples of Dorflinger glass in the nation. A featured highlight this year will be glass-cutting demonstrations by Kathy LaTournous, whose family background in glass artistry hails back to France in the 1700s.

Proceeds from this year’s show will directly benefit The Hawley Public Library, the Ritz Theatre in Hawley and the Dorflinger Wildlife Sanctuary and Museum in White Mills.

Formerly known as the Hawley Fall Foliage Antique Show & Sale, the gathering started out in what is now the Undercroft at the Settlers Inn and later the Falls Port Inn (today the Hotel Belvidere). From its inception the show was a benefit for the Ritz Company Theatre and in 1998 a group of the participating dealers suggested holding the show in the theatre itself, overcoming slanted floors and traditional theatre lighting. The show called the theatre home until 2011 when once again circumstances necessitated a move. The 25th annual milestone was held at the Hawley Silk Mill where it enjoyed record attendance and the proceeds were once again shared with the theatre, along with the Hawley Public Library, and the Wayne County Arts Alliance.

The participating dealers hail from throughout the Northeast and will offer an extensive and varied array of merchandise. Some of the returning exhibitors for 2014 include J Robert Kelz Antiques (small furniture and quality “smalls”), Miss Elly’s Antiques & Such (vintage linens, textiles, smalls), Barbara’s Books (books, paper, ephemera), Ann Street Antiques (estate and fine jewelry), Dakey & Fritz, (Brilliant American Cut Glass), Bergesens Antiques (quality smalls) and the Glass Hat (high end glass, porcelains). Also participating are Kurt Reed, From the Attic, Sleepy Bear Antiques, Antiquities and Curiosities, The Ultimate and Interesting, Glenverly Antiques, and others. Specialties include primitives, art glass, fine porcelains, toys and dolls, various glass categories including Depression era, and elegant prints and paintings.
