Brimfield


I've been going to Brimfield for YEARS and adore tramping through all those fields in search of treasure. This was the first time I actually SOLD there. I was in the New England Motel field. It was quite a different experience, all good...I didnt even mind the crazy early hours (on opening day I had to leave my house at 3:30)! The only downside was frustration at not being free to wander at will. Anyhow, I learned a lot, met some great people, sold a lot, and had a lotta fun. I even took my 9 year old daughter as my "assistant" on opening day. She jumped for joy at being allowed to miss school! (and I know she learned more there in that one day than she would have in class!)

A few items I had in my tent....

A pretty neat little hexagonal wicker chaise set from (I think) the early 70's (love it with my italian linen and french ticking pillows)








This cool old sign I found waaaay out in Western Connecticut that I really DIDN'T want to sell, (it made me happy to look at and it was such a conversation piece in my basement), but a girl can only have SO many bagel signs.....









A LOT of throw pillows, here's a whole array in greens and blues.....


And vintage fabric belts......

and there was more....vintage clothing and accessories, tons of vintage textiles, an assortment of my "rescued" chairs, my Ok8e kids and ladies vintage fabric skirts and tops(I pretty much sold out my whole inventory - it's back to work for me!) All in all I can't wait to go back in September and do it again!
