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!

Great pictures and great day!! Perfect recap of the first of hopefully many Brimfield trips to come!
GREAT pics! I need those donuts on my life NOW!
Too funny – I met my mom and sister at Brimfield today! I remember passing that big stack of Pespi crates :) I came home with a coffee table, a crazy huge green glass ball, and an iron towel holder – such a lucky day there!
Omg cider donuts!! It was the best weekend for brimfield — perfect temps!
HA! See I know you love fall. Happy to hear you finally say it. On the other hand, this place is amazing! Love all the beautiful pictures. xo Moe
This place is a house decorating DREAM! I’d love to have a place similar near me. I love that you bought a ladder for your blankets- it’s such a cozy look! And Apple cider donuts. Just a big YES.
A friend of mine was talking about this place a few weeks ago – looks unreal! Thanks for the push to go…
I could not BELIEVE how far deep + down the road it went, and your beautiful photos are showing me even more parts of it that I missed! I too had such a hard time saying no to the knick-knacks, but I did have fun negotiating down a price on one big item for our kitchen :) And YESYESYES to those cider doughnuts, possibly my favorite part of the day!
An outdoor antique fair? I would totally love that!!!!! Looks like there was some lovely stuff there. We have a fairly new antiques shop in town, and I sort of want everything in there!!!!
it’s probably just as well that i didn’t go because i think it would’ve stressed me out in the i-want-everything-but-cant-afford-it way.
Oh my, that pile of crates! Collecting a few more wood crates to make a shelving unit of sorts for my living room is on my fall to do list, I would have had the hardest time not taking a whole hord of them home.
Wow! I would love to walk through that place! Love all of those crates – I really want a couple. I need to seek out some more things like this in my area!
I have always wanted to go to this! I thought I was the only one!! Love that crate you left with!! xxo L
So fun! I’ve always wanted to go to Brimfield but haven’t gotten around to it yet. You’ve renewed my resolve! I’ve got my eye on a ladder too. Glad you had a great time.
I want every last thing pictured. GOODNESS.
Sadly, I’ve never been antique shopping before, but I’d LOVE to go sometime. It looks like so much fun! I had a friend who’d go with her mom a lot an they would do the coolest things to the furniture. They refurnished this desk with nautical wallpaper and turquoise paint one time, and it turned out so amazing.
