The Peek-a-Boo Squares Were a BIG HIT!

Kim May was thoughtful enough to bring a generous comliment of freshly baked, Peek-a-Boo Squares with her to the JEWELRY EVENT last weekend. They were light & flakey and just the right amount of sweet! Kim was also kind enough to hand out the recepie for those interested...and she ended up running out so here it is for your future enjoyment:


Peek-a-Boo Squares:
1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla (substitute almond extract with cherry filling)
3 cups flour
1 can pie filling-cherry, blueberry, lemon or pineapple

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream shorting and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time; beat well. Add vanilla and flour. Mix well. Spread 3/4 of dough onto an ungreased jelly roll pan (cookie sheet with low sides). Top with pie filling, spreading evenly over batter. Drop remaining batter by the teaspoonful over filling leaving spaces to create marbling effect. Bake 30-35 minutes.

Recepie note: This recepie is lovingly dedicated to Kim's sister, Kara Millis, who like these squares is "a blast from the past!"


Along with the now famous sqaures, there was a fantastic jewelry event that featured the likes of Mikimoto Pearls, signed Miriam Haskell pieces, Tiffiny & Company pins, various and very funky Bakelite bracelets and pins, an interesting collection of enamel pins, a stunning sterling, lapis stones and marcassites necklace, and a wide array of diamonds and gemstone bracelets, necklaces and rings to mention a few.

Featured Dealer... Kim May!

Hi, I'm Kim May, featured dealer of the month at Wrentham Antiques Marketplace! I am a full time antiques dealer with 40 years experience selling antiques and collectibles through antique group shops in New England, but my BEST shop is Wrentham Antiques Marketplace.

I first visited the shop in 2000 and immediately signed up as a dealer on their waiting list.

Well, after some time went by, I went back and BEGGED for a space! "If you don't have a whole space for me, how about just a shelf for my jewelry?" I asked. They graciously found a small spot for me and I moved in on Dec. 3, 2002. I filled it with all kinds of antique jewelry at reasonable prices and was an instant hit with the customers! It wasn't long before a second shelf opened up, then a large case, and over the years I took on 2 floor spaces and a whole jewelry counter...and the rest, as they say, is history!

At Wrentham Antiques Marketplace, I carry sterling silver holloware, cut crystal, hatpins and hatpin holders, perfume bottles, art glass, elegant depression glass, silverplate, porcelain, and a smattering of totally eclectic items.

My specialty, true passion and expertise is in jewelry. I deal in all types of antique and vintage jewelry including , Victorian, Edwardian, fine jewelry, Art Deco, "Retro" pieces, Modernist silver, costume jewelry, designer signed pieces, enamels, bakelite, Mexican silver and sterling.

I look forward to meeting you at the JEWELRY EVENT to be held at Wrentham Antiques Marketplace on Sunday, February 8th from 12 -4!

I'm bringing all types of jewelry including my collection of over 100 stickpins to display for sale. We'll be offering free gift wrapping and complimentary refreshments! Also, don't miss the raffle drawings - no purchase necessary- for the chance to win a pair of 14k gold dangle earrings from my collection, a $25.00 gift certificate to WAM or a $15.00 Kim May Collection gift certificate.

I'm looking forward to meeting you this Sunday at Wrentham Antiques Marketplace!

Kim
