Browsing the selection in Jerry Barnaby’s vintage booth will take a little time—the Eden Prairie-based collector is bringing everything from kitchen antiques to rustic tools, stackable funnels to garden totes. The variety reflects his taste. “I like things that are utilitarian but still cool and unique,” Barnaby says. “And this collection is all about summery colors: blues, greens, yellows.”

Barnaby’s booth will feature a selection of useful and compact items. "I love things that stack easily," Barnaby says. He’ll have a kitchen scale from 1913, Westinghouse refrigerator dishes, stoneware bowls and blue crockery, Jell-O and cake molds of numerous size and shape, and a recipe box with “Gold Medal Home Service Recipes” emblazoned on the front.

“I tend to like and collect items that are more on the ‘primitive’ side—painted furniture, architectural salvage, ironstone dishes,” Barnaby says. Much of his recent collection has been culled from estate sales and vintage shops in Minnesota and Wisconsin. “There will be something for everyone—I really go for broad appeal—but there will be a few things that will need just the right buyer.”

Though primarily a vintage collector, Barnaby might also bring a few “upcycled” items. “I’ve been combining molds and children’s blocks into unique votives,” Barnaby says. The redone pieces will fit nicely into a Westinghouse dish, then into a larger bowl, then into a vintage suitcase, then right into the back seat of shoppers' cars. Come ready to take home a piece of summer.
