Armed with my trusty GPS, some hard earned cash
and lots of optimism and trust...
I found my way, all by myself, to the infamous
Brimfield Antiques extravaganza.
Oh...I have been many times before...
...but this time I came alone and from a different direction.
And...let me reiterate...
all. by. myself.
So...what did I see?
A lot of treasure.
Did I take photos?
Oh yes..lots and lots.
Without further adieu...
...here are some of the sights I saw on my first day at Brimfield.
One of the best parts of my trip was meeting up with some
wonderful gals that I know through blogging.
Jackie, of Bliss Farm Antiques and I have been chatting and
following each others blogs for several years now.
I was delighted to finally meet her in person as well as her
charming husband Steve. Her booth was beautiful and full of
wonderful French treasures that she personally sought out and
found while traveling in France.

so cool...
that color blue...
These tiny vials of watch parts were in Mary's booth
of Vintage Inspired.
Her shop is located in Burlington, Vermont.
Mary was so nice to talk to and had a lot of interesting things.
You know...my kind of stuff!
Mary shared her booth at Brimfield
with Jessica from Willow House in South Burlington, Vermont.
Check out the elephant head drawer pulls...
...and doll head clocks!
...lots of industrial items...
While in this booth...a couple purchased this old wood ladder.
There were so many things to see...
...and I have lots more photos to share.
To be continued...
:)
so far, so good?

Wouha ! Que tout est beau !
All these pictures and things are beautifull ! (Sorry for my english !)
Unbelievable! I could spend hours and hours there. Almost too much eye candy at once. What did you bring home??
Gorgeous!
Such treasures!
Some pretty pricey but so awesome just the same!
I just loved each one pics!!! i would enjoy to shop there with you!! so lucky!!! I'm back at work now!
lovely market,I wish I can visit that place too=)
Thanks so much for taking us along with you! This is one market I want to get to some day - I would give up any vacation to rummage around there! And actually going alone I find can be the best thing - you can stay focused and find exactly what you're looking for without feeling like you are slowing anyone else down. :)
WOW Laura
That looks like a really great fair, some people have spent a LOT of time finding all that treasure.
Look forward to seeing what you cam home with

I'm in Heaven Laura !!
I won't say which things I liked as I love all of it !!
No wonder you have so many treasures Laura when you go to places like Brimfield !!
Have a lovely week and I look forward to seeing more from Brimfield. XXXX
Well.....the doll head clocks would not be coming home with me but.....the rest of the photos are wonderful..can't wait to see the rest!!
You had me from the very first photo. Oh, that little green car just hanging there! I'm supposed to be getting ready for work right now, but now I'll probably be late. I've got to go back and drool over all your photos. And there's more coming?!
I so wanted to go this year...I have been other years, but the dates didn't work out this time.I usually go up a day early to pick up my son from college, but he isn't coming home until next week and the drive is just too far for me to go twice. Love these pics because I'm now I'm traveling vicariously through you...keep them coming!
So far so very good. I don't even know what some of that stuff was or is, but I loved it all.

Love seeing your photos Laura...I saw alot myself but looks like I missed even more! Thanks!!
I think my head is going to explode! Such great stuff! I would have lost all my savings if I had attended! Great photos!
You bet, so far so good, Love looking at old things, even though I don't purchase for myself. Great photos. Can't wait for more!
looks so great Laura - how fun you got to go
thank you for sharing your photos
happy belated mother's day to you

OMGosh, I am swooning!! What a treasure trove...so much eye candy....wish I could be there!
Thank you so much I feel like I had a little outing! Such great pictures, I could hang out on your site all day!! So glad I found you!
gosh I love the bottles and the linens
I have always wanted to go to Brimfield's. I heard about it several years ago but live to far away to make the trip. I can see there were loads of great items. I am partial to Bliss Farm Antiques because I am a Francophile and love French antiques.
I have a couple of the Frozen Charlotte dolls that I purchased a long time ago. They are so sweet!
I have to say you are a brave woman making that trip all by yourself! You should give yourself an "atta girl" pat on the back!
I visited Brimfield back in the 80s where I found an amazing convergence of unique items. Bring your walking shoes as it spans many open fields!
best,

Laura! Geez, I want so many of those goodies. Love the twines from Bliss Farm. And, all the garden goodies: cans, urns, planters :-)
If I went by myself, I'd buy wayyyyy too much, and get into all kinds of trouble. You have fun and behave, ok? Please share more photos! I'm seeing lots of garden items. Yay!!

Forgot to say THANK YOU!! for snapping and posting so many photos. Loi
I am just dying to go to Brimfield. When I freelanced for Garnet Hill our head designers went to Brimfield annually and brought back treasures and photos...so much to see and love. Thank you for sharing!!!
Saw...coveted...wished! Can't wait for the next photos!
Wow!!!!
Holy cow!!!
I'm drooling AND hyperventilating!
I'll make it there one day, *sigh*.
XOXO,
Anne
Awesome photos! I had so much fun even with the rain:) can't wait to see more pictures.

Wow! And what did I like best?I think the blue kitchen cabinet, but then, there is that tricycle or those frozen charlottes and charlies....Maybe I would love about 99.9% of all of it!!Thanks for sharing, Egretta
So far so great! I took some of the same photos you took, lol, birds of a feather and all:)
Thanks for stopping by my booth. Next stop, France!
Jackie

I adore your photos and can;t wait to see another day or just more...
PLEASE!
I love going by myself too and went to Texas at the Round Top and Marburger Farms, etc, etc, and etc.
a few years ago. It was bliss!
Thanks again for sharing, it is amazing what you might find at these events!
Smiles, Cyndi

I am thinking ...when I go to Brimfield, how in the world am I going to get everything home I want and pondering being broke. Broke with excellent antiques!!
Thanks Laura!!

Wonderful photos! Such creative displays and interesting vignettes. . . those doll head clocks, the frozen charlottes, the teeny vials of watch parts, those antique french books. Thanks so much for sharing!! I've been dreaming about Brimfield for years, one day I'll get there! Your blog truly inspires. Well done!
OK...I'm hyperventilating...obviously I'm going to have to rest between these posts....
