Brimfield Wrap
[slideshow]
Our Brimfield affair dawned cloudy and rainy. Nonetheless we pulled it off with a few key purchases (see the pie safe in the slideshow, which, post-cleaning, will be for pastries). I found two lovely wool blankets to sell to beach-goers looking for something cuddly, and two display pieces (we’ll post pictures to the market website once they are in place and not lying on our living room floor). Since photos from our trip are rather dismal and narrowly focused (two food photos??), I’ll point out that A Continuous Lean has lots of great photos, and Design*Sponge posted a curated mix of her favorites.

Brimfield
We northeasters are excitedly getting ready for the arrival of Brimfield next week: the biggest antique show in New England that happens twice a year. Brimfield attracts sellers and buyers from all over–everyone from the Ralph Lauren’s corporate store decorators to Design*Sponge. Joe & I went last year with friends and left with only a few new things–we were totally overwhelmed! This year we’ve sat down, thought it through, and are going with list in hand: we need new shelving for the market, cool signage of all sorts, anything that can be converted into planters….actually my favorite part is the food because I love fair food, and I love excuses to eat through medleys of flavors.
The lovely image above is of the treasures our friend Birgit found at the fair last year.
