another Brimfield excursion

The Brimfield antique and flea market is back this week until the 12th of September.  My group of girlfriends and I are making our pilgrimage back to the fields to be inspired and to treasure hunt.  One of my favorite things to do there is to see what people choose as their "treasure".  I've seen some crazy picks that leave me wondering where the piece will end up and how will it be used.  This trip has me on the lookout for vintage mercury glass candlesticks.  I've got some ideas for holiday gifts that include using the vintage candlesticks.  If I'm successful on my quest - I'll make sure to share my ideas with you.

I had the chance to meet Paul of "Great Stuff by Paul" fame at the last Brimfield market in May of this year.  He's got a great website: greatstuffbypaul.com and has a wonderful booth at Brimfield.  I bought some gorgeous 100 year old olive oil jars from him in May that now sit proudly in my dining room here at home.  His booth is definitely worth a visit. You just might find us all there checking out the merchandise.

Stay tuned for an update on our finds this week and how we plan to use them in and around our homes.
See you soon.
