Brimfield!

Brimfield! Oh my goodness!

I have been wanting to come to Brimfield for a long, long time and it just so happened, in a very last-minute-decision sort of way, that this weekend was the weekend and today was the day. Can you just imagine for a second, miles upon miles of tents filled with all the things you’ve ever dreamed up {in terms of antiques go} and thousands of other things you haven’t even thought about? Well this is IT.

WELCOME TO BRIMFIELD, the largest outdoor antique fair on EARTH!

{dramatic enough?}

Please enjoy these photos I snapped today while walking the fair with my friend Sarah {thank you Sarah for the ones of me!}. We had a great time looking over all the treasures, and we didn’t even have time to see half of it… guess that means we’ll just have to plan a return!

Seriously, wow.

So much to look at! It really is quite a show. There were lots of little knick-knacks I would have loved to have taken home, but I’m trying to stay away from clutter + some of the items can be pretty pricey {just an fyi, there ARE also a lot of really great deals, too!}. There were gorgeous dining room tables that caught my eye and a few desks and big armoir-like pieces that I loved. If only I had a house to furnish. SWEET DREAMING. I came away with one wooden crate {pictured above} and a ladder, which I plan to paint then lean against a wall and hang blankets over the rungs, so I’m excited about that.

Also, the apple cider donut that I ate/inhaled MIGHT have gotten me the tiniest bit excited for fall.

{BUT ONLY MAYBE.}

Hooray for Brimfield! THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!
