Brimfield!

September 8, 2013

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!

the davis flea!

DAVIS FLEA! I found you!

{Quite by accident, but I found you all the same.}

Today while I was heading to Goodwill to drop off some clothes, I stumbled upon an array of tents filled with vintage treasures of all shapes and sizes. It was like a little mini Brooklyn Flea, tucked right into a hidden parking lot in Davis Square.

GOLD!, I thought to myself as I walked through each tent, I have found gold.

There is furniture and records, jewelry and books and posters, too. And also, today there was a really great band. AND A POPSICLE STAND. Which was {naturally} the coolest of all.

COME ONE, COME ALL:

Davis Flea
52 Holland Street
Davis Square
Somerville, MA

… take a left out of the T station, walk past Au Bon Pain and the Flea will be on your left!

P.S. That’s Abbie’s sister Dewey who runs the absolutely ADORABLE {and delicious} Real Pops popsicle stand! I’ve never even met Abbie in real life {only in blogland!}, but I knew that was her sister through following her on instagram so I creepily went up to her and introduced myself, which was strangely not weird AT ALL. Don’t you just love the internet?

All photos taken with my new iPhone 5!

Fishs Eddy

October 25, 2010

Two words:

dream world.

I was introduced to the name Fishs Eddy after visiting Bailey and Kevin many times in Brooklyn. They had the cutest pieces in their kitchen. Very simple and practical, but they always caught my eye. During this trip to NY I made the request to KPrime that we venture there. “I just feel like I will like it,” I said. To which she responded, “You will LOVE it.”!

And love is the teensiest word for how I feel about this shop. I think you know me well enough by now to understand how I really feel. Basically this store is Anthropologies kitchen section on crack. This place is a gold mine. The story is that Fishs Eddy started off selling old dining items from old diners, restaurants, and hotels. Now much of what they sell is new, but still very much with that vintage feel. And it’s all reasonably priced too. Jackpot.
