Brimfield
Antique Show
So today
was my first time going to the Brimfield Antique Show. I had heard it
was huge but huge does not give it justice.....it is humungous,
jumbo, endless antique vintage goodness! I was there for about 6
hours and didn't even see the whole thing! There was so much to see
it would be impossible to see everything that every vender had. The
prices went from free to thousands of dollars. If I had the money I
would right now be the proud owner or many beautiful furniture
pieces. But the one that got away was a circa 1960 bar with working
radio and record player. This unique furniture piece completely stole
my heart. But not only was it over $1,000.00 but I would have had to
buy a bigger car and bigger apartment to own it....someday! I love
going to antique shows because they give me ideas for my own projects
and also supply me with great one-of-a-kind pieces for my tutorials.
The
things I did get were are as follows:
Circa
1960-1970 Wool Coat with Fox Fur Trim with matching skirt which I
ended up paying only $80.00 for. I thought it was a total steal and
the unique chic style will fit right into my closet. When I wear this
coat I feel like Betty Draper from Mad Men but of course not as
bitchy.
Vintage
Beaded Collar for $5.00!!!! This piece is so cute and totally gives
me inspiration for my own tutorial!
Shoe Box
of Fabric for $3.00. There was a great tent of random fabrics and I
got a shoe box filled for $3.00 which is an awesome deal!
1960
Apron with hand painted fawn for $3.00. I don't wear aprons but this
beautiful apron inspires me to make a modern working wife's apron.
Painted
China Plates for $1.00 a plate. I got these plates on an everything
on this table is a $1.00 these plates will be great for my 3 tiered
cake stands I am making for my wedding!
2 Pearl
Necklaces for $1.00. I found these cute necklaces in a box of costume
jewelry since they are so cheap I thought it would be worth getting
the necklaces just for the pearls.
Crystal
Chandelier Strands for free!!!!!! You never know when someone will
just give you something for free. I found these Crystal Strands in a
random box and asked how much they were and the vender gave me the 10
that were left in the box for free. I plan to used them in my center
pieces for my wedding....of course tutorial to come!!!!
I love that collar and those plates. I've always heard great things about Brimfield...looks like you found some awesome stuff!
