Brimfield part 1

I thought this was the perfect sign to sum up why you should come to Brimfield.

If you want to be environmentally friendly BUY ANTIQUES!!! or if you can't affort the good stuff then buy Junk! well within reason of course.

I realized after looking over my pictures of the day that I had no large views of the market but then I figured you all knew what a fleamarket looked like......big tents, grass or dirt floor, thousands of people running around and of course lots of stuff. Not all that different then any other except this one is huge and one of the oldest celebrating 50 years since 1959. It was a misty day in the morning and the vendors had to keep covering their delicate things with clear plastic. By early afternoon it had cleared up.
Alright
Lets go shopping!!! shall we?

Loved these hats....the milinary flowers are what attracted me to them. They were just the right shade of worn elegance.

I couldn't resist a little photo editing.

This kind of printed linen was in a few different forms. Pillows, frames, towels. Some were the original pieces......some repros. The best booth was a ladies that I took pictures of..... but will post those when I find her card again. She said there are many who buy her printed linens to reproduce but it doesn't matter to her.....the quality is never the same. It's like people who buy knock offs. The person who buys those would never be the originators customer in the first place. Some people just want the "Good stuff"

I thought that it was a good attitude to have.

There was no lack of painted furniture. Some orginal and repainted.

All things metal

Vintage Victorian booth

Bought some things in this booth. I'll show you those later.

Well that's it for now. You might be thanking me for having accidently deleted my pictures the previous day there. Ha-ha!

Hopefully you'll enjoy the rest of the tour!!!!

Laura unfortunately wasn't able to come this time but don't feel too bad for her.....she's visiting Italy with her family and I'm sure doing a bit of shopping herself.

I missed your keen eye and your ability to find just the perfect booth to stop in!!!and of course your smiling face and enthusiasm!!!
