Brimfield goodies

I finally got around to photographing some of the things

I bought at Brimfield this morning. I like using natural light so by the time I get home

well....the sun is no more and not news to

 all of you, the days are getting shorter.

Not so bad now but when it starts to get dark at 4:00 it takes a little getting used to.

 I feel like saying...... wait a minute

 who turned the lights out?

It just seems to happen overnight.

In reality it does when we "Fall back"

which I never seem to realize until it's too late and

 I'm late.

Don't get me wrong I like the quieter pace that goes along with it.

Wouldn't we all get bored if the seasons were all the same?

I would.

I digress

This was one of my favorite purchases....an old tool box with distressed gray paint.

I saw plenty of them up there but I liked mine the best.

It's sitting on an old metal stools that I will have to

 show another time.

That's one of my favs too.

Ok I have a lot of favs.

Lace doilies. I bought a lot of lace...mostly tablecloths.

metally thingys

simple little mirrors.

Gold I know...not what I usually buy,  I might even leave

them that way.

Sequined pieces that I'd like to think were part of a

fancy dress once.

A few tin type photos and a small doll purse.

So serious but having to smile for a long time

...not so easy.

Some of my test tubes.....the others I have set up already.

I'll show those another time.

This mirrors are not even that old but I liked the detail on them.

The shoes on the other hand are old.

My fat feet would never fit in something that thin.

Not that I planned on wearing them. 

Why is it that as you get older your feet get fatter?

maybe it's just me.

Ok forget that question.

My  second only altered photo.

I'm so proud of myself that I resisted not adjusting

or tweaking most of them.

Hence why I like the LIGHT!

Some of that discussion is partly selfish, it does take much longer.

I did notice that blogger had changed the photo uploading.

Not a fan of the new change. I had no idea it was going to upload the whole thing at once.

Then it never memorized what file you were taking it from.

So click click click later you got back to it.

By then I forgot what I was looking for.

Maybe I'll have to post less pictures from now on.

 

Not sure why this purse called to me. It only has a

 draw string to close it but the

beading was so pretty.

This will make a great dolly bed.

Collars

Wish we still wore hats like this!

I wore the craziest outfit to Debra's Oktoberfest party yesterday you'd think I could wear a hat like this.

Sorry I won't be showing the outfit.

If it was up to George I would burn it.

ha!

 

A blouse I bought for a dollar. Only a small hole.

I'll use it on a dressform probably.

Checks written in pencil.

Trusting back then.

Will use this in a Christmas tree!
decorated of course.

That one single seltzer bottle that I bought

from that incredible tent with French antiques.

I was standing there with my little purchase as

someone else was purchasing a big armoire

and having it shipped to Florida.

What a dork I felt like.

Metal baskets....after awhile I kept finding myself

buying baskets everywhere,

 I had to control myself.

Maybe I can get George to play Bingo with me tonight.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend of fun and games.

Have a good week!
