Even though I’ve been 5 times now, the Brimfield Antique Show never ceases to amaze me. I always think I’m mentally prepared, but it’s always the same full on sensory overload. As soon as I step into the field my head is on constant swivel.
Yesterday the May 2013 show kicked off and it was one of the most crowded I’ve been to yet. It seems that each time the crowd is a little younger each time, which is exciting! I’m so happy to see the show growing in popularity.
Recently I’ve had great luck at flea markets and thrift stores so I went to Brimfield happy to browse, but only looking for a few small things (Kyle is relieved!) So, want to see what I scored?
I love this little vintage wooden sign. Unfortunately the vendor didn’t know the story behind it, but I couldn’t leave it behind. My sign collection is steadily growing!
I also picked up quite the collection of bottles. It’s fun to mix and match what you find from different vendors and I thought the light sea foam greens and blues were nice for summer. My favorite is the Marmalade jar which will be used as a small vase or pen/pencil holder. Isn’t it incredible to see something 1862?
There were A LOT of wire baskets at this show and I wanted all of them to come home with me. I settled for this small egg basket, which is a really sweet size and was reasonably priced. Who knew baskets were so expensive?
I didn’t want Kyle to be left out, so I scouted a gift for him too. From a pile of small gold mental letters I spelled out a word that’s right up his alley 🙂 I’m thinking about mounting them onto a board or something that can be hung in the kitchen.
Of course I’m a little biased, but I think all of my finds look quite nice together! The thrill of the hunt is so much fun and Brimfield is definitely worth a trip if you live in the New England area.
I’ve heard from quite a few of you that you’re headed out to the show on Friday or over the weekend. I’d LOVE to do a round up post featuring your finds so please email them to popandcircumstance@gmail.com or tag your instagrams with #Brimfieldfind.

Great finds Becky! I love everything – especially the sign and bottles! xx
I love a good treasure hunt! I think the sign is my favorite find too 🙂
TAKE ME WITH YOU 🙂 I want it all! I bet my roommates are glad I haven’t discovered this place yet.
You are 100% coming with me next time!
Looing all your picks! Was hoping to take a day out of work to go this week but looks like I will try in July.
Those gold letters are fabulous!
Aren’t they fun? I kind of wish I would’ve bought up the whole pile of them.
Wire baskets ❤ I think I would have a hard time staying in my budget.

Sticking to the budget is never an easy thing at Brimfield! I always try to take a reasonable amount of cash and call it quits when I run out. P.S. loving your hand lettering!
Oh my gosh everything looks so fun! This totally makes me want to go!
There’s still time sistah!
Awesome finds! I love all the baskets that they have (last time I went I grabbed a locker one for $15!). And I’m a big sucker for the blue mason jars. I currently have 4 sitting on my kitchen table.
I know! The baskets were irresistible and you can never go wrong with a mason jar. So glad to find a fellow Brimfield fan and follow your restoration progress!
