Happiness is...
Thursday, May 20, 2010
To look at my fingers, you would guess that I was painting again right?
Last week I went to Brimfield's Antique Market with my daughter and we walked passed dozens and dozens of tents.
Well, happiness is also bringing back finds from the largest Antique Market in the country. Wares from furniture to beads, to notion heaven.
My daughter asked me, "Mom aren't you going to go inside any of these tents?"
I said, "let's keep walking I'll know when I see a tent that I want to browse in", and we walked a bit further. Then I saw it, the most magnificent tent, with lovely vignettes and beautiful displays.
As I browsed, who should come around the corner but the lovely Keri, from Antique Therapy. It was her tent. If you would like to see the gorgeous tent, and Brimfield's in a Nutshell...just pay Keri a visit on her blog.
I created some fabric with a purchase from Keri, an Antique sheet of French Homework.
If you click on the image, you can see what it would look like in fabric.
Nesting on Main's tent was right next door with Melissa and Cary from Thoreauly Antiques sharing that tent.
Before leaving I stopped by a huge tent only to meet the amazing Rosemary Warren of Tinsel Trading Company. I found a stash of flowers, vintage ribbons and beautiful tapestry squares, all in one huge bag.
The beautiful Elyse from Tinkered Treasures has a gorgeous post about Brimfield's. She met Wendy Addison and Marcia Cepos the day that she went.
Oh, about that paint on my fingers. My happiness...simple really...
Here is a peek at my new recipe, which I will reveal completed soon.
Wishing you lovely inspiration and like the lyrics of this song say...
A day walking on The Sunnyside of the Street.
Today is Show and Tell Friday, please visit Cindy from Romantic Home to see all the wonderful posts.

You know exactly what you're looking for. I checked the link and I would be lost! Wonderful graphic for fabric. I found that link, too. Very interesting...
Thank you for always leaving us on a high note!
Oh I remember well this fun fest for antique affectionados!!! Excellent finds, especially those French "devoirs"!!!!
Enjoy your weekend dear Karen! Anita
I haven't been to Brimfield in years ... I was banned after, ahem, going a tad overboard one year.
Suffice to say, it involved the necessity of renting a truck to get the stuff back home.
I hope I'm paroled some year soon.
You found great stuff! - I had no idea Tinsel Trading was there!
Karen you are so lucky to be able to go to Brimfield's! I would love to spend the day there. It looks like you found some lovely things and met some amazing people.
I am looking forward to seeing your recipe...
Hugs,
Penny
What a fun way to spend the day with your daughter

Enjoyed this trip with you. You always make armchair travel exciting!
