I got away this weekend and spent a couple of days with my good friends Kathy and Laura. Our main activity was attending this giant antiques festival in Brimfield Massachusetts. This town is known for its antiques and has several events each year where hundreds of dealers from across the country set up shop and sell their treasures. Kathy is a Brimfield veteran and Laura has been before. Both of these girls collect antiques and have things that they look for.
George says - "We don't have any antiques and I am not sure we need any." - but I wanted to see what it was like and what I could find.
We had a great time! The storm held off so it was mainly sunny. I was overwhelmed with the amount of stuff available but did find some small things and even a couple of Christmas presents for my family.
Kathy, Laura and I also enjoyed some wine and girlie food - fancy salads and crab cakes. We also hit a HomeGoods store, a super Marshall's and a big TJ Maxx on the way home from the antique fair. What else could I ask for? My legs are so sore today from all of the walking and shopping - how sad is that?
As for antiques and the question of do I need any: I have decided I should collect something and think that I might start looking for vintage barware. That could be fun. And I will definitely go back to Brimfield!

Sounds like you had a fun weekend! Vintage barware is cool. I would probably collect vintage and new Fiestaware. Someday I will start my collection, but first I need the money and space to store it!
wow all that shopping sounds like fun, especially the HomeGoods visit...one of my fav stores.
what i wouldn't give to just get a weekend away. maybe sometime soon.

Hey Jack! You are a very technologically advanced blogger! I'm going to have to try harder to improve my skills on my next post. I'm glad you had fun at Brimfield. It's fun bringing a rookie along. I look forward to helping you in your hunt for vintage barware in May! Hopefully the weather will cooperate and there will be more dealers to see.
Sounds like a perfect weekend! Super TJ Maxx and Home Goods, OMG I would be in heaven!
