After hearing about the famous antique fair in Brimfield, MA for ages, I decided it was finally time to make the drive out toward Western Mass and see what all the fuss was about. Oh oh oh, was it worth it! I read Shauna’s tips beforehand, and I admit I would have been pretty lost without them. Booth after booth [for a mile!] of vintage furniture, kitchenware, clothing, handbags, jewelry, luggage, and millions of little knick-knacks. I can’t wait to show you what I came home with, but it’s turning into a project that deserves a post of its own!
Comfy shoes are the only way to go. And ones you don’t mind getting a little dirtied up! The fair does take place over a number of fields.

Brimfield has wrapped for 2013, but will return again in May, July, and September of next year. Have you been to it, or other antique fairs/vintage markets? What are some of your best tips?

I have never gone and have always wanted to! My mom isn’t exactly a…vintage…type…so she never wanted to bring me growing up. But whenever I remember, it’s already past the season!
I love that antique perfume bottle. Did you buy any of these finds?

Love that globe and your adorable tennis sweater!
You are so cute in that top! My husband is from western mass, yet he has never taken me to the Brimfield Fair. I think I’m going to have to remind him of this come spring time!
