Thrifty Flea Finds and Looking Ahead!


The family has gone but not the memories of a fun filled weekend
 with the most gorgeous weather ever
 on this just past Memorial Day weekend. 


...cleaning up just a bit and getting ready
 to move on to the next adventure!


...which just happens to be...


...a girl's only weekend with Paula
 and hopefully other special girlfriends in Connecticut!


Looking forward to girl talk, shopping, eating
 and maybe even watching a favorite old movie...
...together!


Can't wait to see Paula's gorgeous gardens...
...things are really blooming now!


I will be sure to bring the camera
 to capture some pretty pics to share.


All these photos today are of a few of the things I have picked up
 at thrift stores, yard sales, church sales, etc.
 over the last few months.


Some things are just plain useful...





Some are old, some interesting...
Some are beautiful.

These items are all those that I actually got to photograph
 before I came up to the lake...

I have been so busy having fun with family that I haven't shared these with you before...and there's so much more.

Getting some things ready to sell.
(feel free to email if there is anything of interest).


Hope you all had a fun weekend...
...here we are already at Tuesday!

Wishing you a productive and joy filled week...
:)

Brimfield Snapshots (more from May 2012)


Continuing on our tour of my whirlwind 24 hours in
 Brimfield, Massachusetts, USA....:)
This beauty and the next three shots were taken in the booth of
Five Corners Antiques.

They are from Essex Jct. in Vermont...a multi dealer shop
 that describes itself as "unique and affordable"
I have to make the trip and see for myself! :)



Their booth display was beautiful.



Moving on...
...this green glass glowed in the morning sun!



Loved this blue fence. 
It was already sold.





Not every booth tried for a beautiful set up
 but all had interesting goods on display!




These pretty posies gave a grouping of deep fat fryers 
an elevated status.




I want this blue bike! :)



Yes, this pale pink girdle was hanging out for all to see.
Perhaps...noooo...it couldn't have been a sign just for me!








Well, I loved my visit to Brimfield this spring.
Thanks for coming along with me!
What did you like best?
:)

P.S.  A few pics of my finds to follow soon.

Brimfield Pics...Are You Ready?



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?
