Still Walking Through Brimfield or Part Two


Of course...I spied these purple bottles straight away!

There was so much to see at Brimfield and just one day this time.
My friend Carole of Maynard Greenhouse was there
 and visited different fields than we did.
She took some fabulous photos with her iphone. 
 Check out what she saw (and what I missed) HERE.


Snow White and the seven dwarfs were there too!


I should have bought this blue straw hat
 with its creamy white petals.


Here are more random pics of what caught my eye.
Enjoy!







  I know...weird.
...er I mean unusual.



...so many lovely linens.
Too bad I don't sew. :(




Let them eat cake.


yo yo.


A stunning display of the Red, White and Blue.


This is John Bruno...aka "The Professor" 
of the PBS TV show Market Warriors.
He was being filmed "professing" to these two lovely ladies.
Have you ever seen the show?
I have not...but it looks interesting.
 Actually, anything at Brim is interesting! :)





And once again, I was smitten with the gorgeous textiles
 in the booth of Wendy Lewis of The Textile Trunk.






so, so pretty.





Well, our day at Brimfield was fun...
...but the fun didn't stop there.
Tomorrow I will share some photos of things we saw 
at Deanna's shop Gather in Ivoryton.

...and then we will visit Taken For Granite in Stony Creek.

My time here with Dad has been relaxing and allowed for lots of blog time!
He is all settled in and loves seeing his Florida friends again...
...pretty soon the bocce season resumes! :)

Hope your weekend has been full of fun!
:)

What am I grateful for today?
...a delicious spinach feta omelet, a Sunday nap and time with Dad.

September Walk Through Brimfield - Part One


Walking around the New England Motel field at Brimfield,
 we came across the fascinating booth of South Porch Antiques.


Patrick and Karen Kenny are the dealers responsible
 for these incredibly creative displays.


Who doesn't love a glass cloche?


I love their strong industrial look...



...and innovative, artsy displays.


To see more photos of their inventory visit their website or see them in person in October at Marburger in Round Top, TX and at The Country Living Fair in Georgia.


There was lots more to see at Brimfield this September.
Plenty of items on the softer, more feminine side of things.


...ruffles to die for. 
sigh.


...gorgeous  European linens.



Lovely Swedish antiques...








...and even some Lucite...



It was fun to see this rack of metal drawers...

A few years ago Paula and I found a bunch of these drawers
 minus the rack at the Bouckville show.
Mine were sold but...
  I am sure Paula has creatively used them
 in one of the imaginative vignettes in her cottage.

There was lots more to see so stay tuned for 
Part Two of our Walk Through Brimfield.

Hope you had a happy Saturday...
Dad and I bought tomatoes and home made pastry
 at the Farmer's Market. Yummy!

What am I grateful for today?
Fresh produce, sunshine and people who can bake delicious goodies!
