Brimfield Trip

My good friend, Mary, has been trying for years to get me to go to Brimfield, Massachusetts to their flea market/antiques/yard sale that is in May, July and September every year.  She has been going for years and always tells me about the wonderful things that she finds there.  This year, my sisters and I have been going "junkin" on weekends to places here in Maine.  We decided to expand our territory to New England and Brimfield seemed like the next logical place to go.  Mary gave me things for my birthday that we would need for the trip. Some of the items she said was needed was ponchos, water bottle, measuring tape, magnifying glass, and hat.  All things were in the bag that she gave me and more!!! Check out my pictures!  It was the coolest gift. 

When we arrived at Brimfield  it was amazing.  More than 5,000 vendors are usually there but in July sometimes there are only 3,000 because of the heat.  It was hot!!  But there was plenty of vendors to see.  More pictures of Brimfield and the treasures that I found!!!  We are all headed there in September and I can't wait!!!

A Fun Saturday!

Love this place!

Classes
Last Saturday was a fun day for sure!  My sisters and their husbands as well as me and my husband all headed to some of our favorite places.  First stop, Stamped Designs in Dover, NH.  We love this place.  Jeannette has everything and more!  Our new favorite is the Memory Box dies.
Next up, was a cute vintage, antique store in Dover called "Just the Thing".  I found a huge breadboard.  I am going to find something special to do with this.  My husband wasn't as optimistic.  Chris found a "Moxie" sign for her husband for only $10!!   We all had lunch at Warren's and then onto Route 1 and headed north.  Stopped at Bo-mar's, and couple more antique shops.  I think the best find of the day was by Russ, a sculpture of Mickey on a tree trunk --so cool!   Connie and Russ have quite a Mickey collection!!  There was so many memories of stuff that we had growing up, incredible!  I saw an old scale that looked just like the one that my grandfather had in his store when we used to weigh cheese, and hamburg.  We will return another day for sure!

Fun looking!
