Jacqueline @ HOME said...: Oh Carole,
Couldn't you transport me over ? !!! I want ALL of it. We went to an Antiques Fair last saturday and it wasn't half as good as yours ! Our daughter bought an angle poised lamp, some copper pans that were a bargain, a couple of old tin baths to put plants in and I bought some glass pharmaceutical bottles, an old rusty clock ( WHY?!), and some Edwardian spectacles, but there weren't any grain sack cushions or lovely chairs like the ones that you have shown.
Hope that you and George are getting back to normal after that naughty Irene ! Didn't she cause a great deal of devastation ? I am so very sorry for those who lost their homes and their possessions and those that lost their lives. So tragic.
Have a lovely time at Brimfield. XXXX; September 7, 2011 at 3:36 PM

Romeo said...: Oh, you're killing me!!!! I LOVE, LUST OVER, and REALLY LOVE old textiles! Seriously! I would have had to pay rent in the booth with all the lace and ribbon, as well as the one with the handloomed linen/hemp. I would have been in those two booths alone for probably three days! Oh, I can't wait to see what you found and pictures.....please, pretty please with Cricket-Cat-Snacks on top, please post pictures....I'll be waiting.....

You and I seem to gravitate to the same sort of things. Beautiful!; September 13, 2011 at 6:47 AM
