Brimfield!

We left at 6:30am (I was still on CA time, 3:30am!)
The car was empty when we started!
The first stop was my brother's booth in May's Field. He showed me a copy of Antique Toy World which had a tribute to my dad and 2 friends who have recently passed away. In the day, they were a big deal at Brimfield!


It took 2 hours to find my first typewriter! By the end of the day we had 4! I also found out what Santa does in his off months!
Score! We spent hours digging through piles of silverware. Liz quickly learned you can get a nasty wound from a fork!

We had a great day at Brimfield and are planning our next trip. (oh, as we were leaving for the day, trying to pull our wagon full of silverware, typewriters, Fiestaware and the pair of antique skis, my sister in law scored 6 diningroom chairs and she won! She spent more than me!)

I'm leaving on a jet plane...

My bags are packed and I'm off to...
The Brimfield Antique Show!  This is one of the largest and best known shows in the country. I haven't been since I was little when my parents used to set up at Mays Field. Now my brother has taken over the tradition and is there 3 times a year selling antique toys.
I only have one day to shop but hope to find wagons full of vintage treasures! I'll post photos as we walk the thousands of booths. I can't wait!
