I'm here at the lake and I've been cleaning up and getting ready
for family to arrive Memorial Day weekend.
But, as promised...
I wanted to show you a few of the little things that
I brought home with me from Brimfield.
First up is this tiny 19th century ointment pot.
I love the blue writing...
...on both sides!
...also a nice length of blue and white ticking.
A pretty embroidered monogram and crochet pillowcase from
Jackie at Bliss Farm Antiques.
Some reasonably priced wire ware
from a woman who was selling off her collection.
She said the best and most unusual pieces were sold the day before.
Too bad I missed that!
...a tin mustard sign
...two shakers with pewter tops and agitators
...tiny French tart tins
...a European grain sack with the prettiest blue stripe.
...three Gien Pont Aux Choux cream colored dishes.
...an old box of inks
...a tall aqua blue apothecary bottle
...a pale blue French letter with lovely script
...a concrete rabbit to give to my friend Evi for her birthday.
...an old piece of transferware with a lovely blue gray
pattern of ferns and berries
... a pair of bistro chairs
and a few wood spools with old blue paint on the ends.
I guess you could sell me pretty much anything blue!
:)
Hope you have had a good weekend.
The weather here in the Adirondacks
has been sunny and beautiful the last few days.
It's been so very quiet here ...
...but by next weekend everyone will start arriving
and the summer season will begin!
Hopefully the black flies and mosquitoes won't show up too!
Take care, Laura :)
Laura, you found some great treasures. Love the ointment pot with the blue writing. I like things with words and letters, especially in blue. ;-) The rabbit is perfect for Evi. She is going to love it! Glad you had a good time. Enjoy the family time at the lake.
ReplyDeleteFabulous finds!!! Thanks so much for sharing - someday I'll make it to Brimfield in person :)
ReplyDeleteI love everything you brought back! I'm a sucker for blue too! It's been so great of you to share your trip with us.
ReplyDeleteThank you!

A trinket or TWO? I love the bistro chairs and wire basket. I passed on two bisto chairs several yrs ago in white and have been kicking myself ever since! Anyway, I figured I would give you some time to recoup and email you :)
ReplyDeleteI know you must of had a great time and the B&B must of been grand! Have fun at your summer spot ;)

ReplyDeleteKate
Laura,
ReplyDeleteI say, you purchased quite a lot of cool items. My favorite color is blue and no doubt, I would have picked up anything blue! I also love the French blue letter and the cream colored dishes!
You found some wonderful stuff...just like me, I would have bought those spools in a heartbeat ...just because they're blue!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Tracey Broome. What a delight you give us! So many beautiful things you have posted. I look forward to perusing your previous posts as well.
ReplyDeleteYou buy such unusual things! Thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeletep.s. It's fun seeing your posts pop up on Facebook (:
I hope Evi doesn't read your blog Laura:) Love her concrete bunny and your fab wire pieces! Motorcycle riding up in the Adirondacks is beautiful. Have fun at the Lake House! xo
ReplyDeleteLaura - You found a lot!! Good job :-) Love your wirework trivets (?) and egg basket. I collect these, and those are lovely!! I also love anything blue. They sell very well at my shop. That concrete bunny is very cute....I'd tuck him between my hostas. Thank you for such beautiful photos of your treasures!!
ReplyDeleteLoi
Laura, thank you for sharing your lovely goodies. The bunny is sure to be a great gift. The blue ointment pot has great patina as well. Have a great time at the lake. Valerie
ReplyDeleteLaura, you always find the most wonderful things!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking at all the posts I missed. God, they had some beautiful things at Brimfield. I loved the guy with all the Swedish furniture ( is he from Texas?), and of course, I went crazy seeing all the fabulous fabrics. I could have bought myself silly.
Wonder if you got all the twig furniture out? Bet, it looks pretty.
Have fun playing with the new goodies. It's pouring here today, yuck.
XOXO, Evi
"COOL" post...
ReplyDeleteInteresting...
