Brimfield Follies!

My sister-in-law Ruth and I finally made it to the Brimfield Massachusetts Antique Fair!

I knew it was going to be big, but this was REALLY BIG!!! 

When you're used to fairs with three to four-hundred vendors, it is quite a difference to see five to six-thousand. Now I know why people go for more than one day!

I probably said to Ruth about a hundred times, "wow, this is sooo overwhelming." That Ruth is such a trooper.

Knowing I had just one day there, I was rushing around, and everywhere I turned, there were more rows of tents! If I had more time, I would have walked around at a nice pace, which is what you have to do to see everything.

I must say though, they had the most unusual things. Some of the tents were put together so beautifully too. I felt the prices were okay, some were over-the-top, but usually for things that were quite unique.

I would definitely go back again for a longer stay. I picked up a few things, but mostly presents for my grandchildren. It's just impossible to get them out of my head!

Until next time, God Bless and may you always keep the joy in your heart.

Michelle.

Treasure Hunting

Well I went to Mansfield, Conn. on Sunday and it was everything I had anticipated.  The trip started out when I picked up my sister-in-law Ruth at 4am!

We arrived just as the gates were opening.  Normally it wouldn’t of taken four hours to get there, but we missed a very important exit off of 91.  Now I could blame it on confusing directions, but I’ll be honest, it was totally due to the talking!

That’s Ruth and me. When we're together there is no such thing as a lull in the conversation.  We even got together the day before to map out our route, and Ruth pointed to one section on the map and said “Okay, right here is where we can’t talk or we’ll miss this exit!” Apparently we forgot about that, but it worked out, because as soon as we parked the car we walked right in.  

It was a beautiful day with so many vendors that were fully stocked with unique items.  Due to the size of my car I knew I had to be picky about what I bought.  So, after about 5 trips back and forth to my car it was full and we headed home.  The pictures are of me hauling things to my car.

This is a place worth going to in case your trying to decide to go or not.  It's every Sunday rain or shine, and the vendors are all so nice, and we had interesting chats with many of them.  

You will see some of these pieces as soon as I am done making them look pretty.  

Well I might be heading up to Brimfield, Mass. Antique show in about a week.  If I do, I think I might rent a truck of some kind so I can come home with a real load-full.  If I do, I will let you know.  Until then, thanks for reading my blog.  God Bless and may you always keep the joy in your heart.  Michelle
