Brimfield ~ a true field trip!

This is an event I look forward to for months in advance. It's held 3 times a year but we always hit it in May. We leave bright and early for the all day adventure. This year my husband was home for a couple of days and was able to tag along for the fun. Fortunately, we both enjoy this trip so it's an opportunity to spend some time together {one of my goals for the year} as well as find a few new treasures for our home.


Brimfield goes on for miles and miles and miles! The fields are amazing with their showcases of treasures and trash ... you know the saying. By the end of the day I'm exhausted! You simply cannot view it all in one day. Sadly, I never have enough time to allow myself two days for this treasure hunt.



There is one way in and one way out of Brimfield. If your arrival timing is off just a tad, you wait in line and end up parking in the back 40. This is the hardest part ~ almost there, yet still so far away. Ugh!


I've been going to Brimfield for several years now. I always go with a list in mind and always come home with everything EXCEPT what I was looking for :) That's part of the fun.



How about a sweet little chair for my desk? There were SO many to choose from at this tent. I fell for the back on this little beauty and it's carved design.



Madhtr ~ love the name and oh so fitting!

This vender was amazing! It is a little {or big} girls dress up dream come true! The hats were gorgeous and his display was just beautiful. It really belongs in a high end boutique. He was quite the character with very charming qualities. I'm secretly keeping my fingers crossed that hats make a comeback ... love them so!

Over the years I've found dealers and vendors that I really like and make a point of going to their booths first to see what goodies they've brought to the show.
The displays are becoming more creative {selling point} and intriguing. There was more than one time I felt the "need" to have it all. Not to worry, my well grounded husband was there to bring me back to reality. **Note to self: leave husband home next time** :)



This is one of my favorite booths ~ always find a few must haves.

A nap would have been nice ;)





A few trinkets that made it home with me. I actually had this antique secretary on my list and much to my surprise I found one! I think this may be a first for me. These sweet little pictures will look great in our hall and I quickly grabbed the ice bucket when I saw the unique shape. It's a good thing I eyed it when I did since two other women were on my heels.  I'm going to use the silver in my picnic basket. I thought the butter knives would make perfect spreaders and can you see the serving spoons? They are monogrammed! :) I'll put these new lovelies to good use during the spring festival at Jonathan Edwards Winery in a few short weeks.

I have a few more fun finds to share with you but I'll save them for another day.
