Save the date

Autumn in South Florida; there's a nip in the air, the leaves are changing color to brilliant yellows and oranges and the squirrels are stocking up on acorns.

OK, so this is Florida and I made all that up.

But fall is approaching and that can only mean one thing.

The Miami Beach Outdoor Antique Market on Lincoln Road is back.

The organizers of the event have released the 2010-2011 dates. I've posted them in the right-hand column.

The first show is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 10..

And you know what that means.

For starters, some of the best people watching in South Florida.

People watching outside the Victoria's Secret store
And lunch at some of Lincoln Road's fine restaurants like The Cafe at Books & Books; a long-time Random Pixels supporter.

Miami favs tells you what else to expect.

As for the antique show itself, more than 100 vendors offer everything from vintage one-of-a-kind clothing items to old, hard-to-find magazines and books, jewelry, bric-a-brac, tchotchkes and, of course, antiques.

So, save the date, come early, find a good parking spot...and have fun.

And don't forget to bring the dog!
