Sharing pictures from Brimfield

I only took a few pictures because it was so hot and I didn't stay very long. Long enough though to stand and drool over this sold (boo hoo) picnic table and bench. I wish I had taken more than one of this booth because their stuff was amazing!

Although I didn't spend a dime....

I had a great time browsing the booths at the Brimfield Antique Show and snapping some quick pics of just a few of the many items that caught my eye. Enjoy!

Brimfield Antique Show

Because we went on the last day of the show, we didn't come home with much - most of the items I wanted had the dreaded red sold tag taunting me in the face!! :)

We did of course, have a great time browsing and snapping pictures....

This potting bench was made by the same gentleman that made the bench I bought at Brimfield's May show (see my post of May 15 )

Love, love, love this seat that actually folds down when not in use. I'm on a quest to find one for my bench. Any leads would be SO appreciated!!

White Wednesday

I walked into Amy (aka Thistlebees) and Keri's (aka Antique Therapy) booth at the Brimfield Antique Show and I was immediately drawn to this dining room set (gee.... you think the fact that it was white had anything to do with it!). Large oval table with six cane-back chairs and burlap seats.....yeah baby! And if you could have seen how nicely it was showcased (sorry I only took one pic at the show), you would have been too!

All packed up and ready for its new home, and just in time before the showers came passing through. Did I mention my husband enjoys Brimfield as much as I do? How awesome is THAT!??

Got it home, put some felt pads on the bottoms of all the legs and slid it right into place.

I took this picture so you could see the double mirror I bought from Amy at her first Brimfield showing a couple of years back.

I've seen a few dining sets that are similar to this but it was the detail that sold me on this one in particular.

I added these French styled numbers (1-6) to the backs of the chairs. My original thought was to stencil them on but when my search for the perfect font failed....I settled (for now anyway) on these, which are rub-ons I bought at a craft store.

What's not to love....

When I walked into to this booth aptly name "French Vanilla" at the Brimfield Antique Show I was immediately drawn to this lamp and its umm...(as my husband quipped).....shade?! No, I didn't buy it but I at least I have this awesome picture of it. The owners of the booth, Peg and John Van Dyne, graciously allowed me to take these pictures of their wonderfully creative treasures.....THANK YOU!

Burlap and gauze....perfectly suited for one another!

And what about these old books with their bindings and covers removed.... Stacked and tied up in gauze they look amazing!

A Potting Bench built just for me....

Well, not really but it sure felt that way when I spied this beauty within 10 minutes of arriving at the Brimfield Antique Show. It's crafted from salvaged wood, architectural pieces and a vintage sink...which pretty much had my heart pounding!

And when my heart pounds.....I know it's meant to be (right honey??)! So there I was writing the check with a shaking hand and a huge smile on my face - all the while picturing it in my potting shed.

I had so much fun decorating my new treasure from odds and ends I had stashed away in my basement. Made me glad I've been procrastinating on that yard sale I've been planning for oh...say three years.

A few lavender sachets to help freshen my shed that's been closed up all winter.

I need to fill the sink with something or things but not sure just yet. Any ideas....I'm open to suggestions?

Found a perfect spot for this little cutie that I forgot I had tucked away.

The cabinet looks free standing but it's actually securely mounted to the bench - the glass door is fashioned from an old transom window.

This vintage child's shoe form was also a Brimfield find. Speaking of which...stay tuned for future posts for more of my Brimfield goodies. I can hardly wait for their next show this July!

And if this bench sets your heart a flutter as well...be sure to check out the Sage Farm Antiques website for other great finds!!
