Brimfield Antique Show
Every May, July, and September, thousands of treasure hunters converge on the tiny community of Brimfield, Massachusetts, to seek out everything from fine and rare antique furniture to kitschy vintage collectibles. Arguably the most famous antiques exhibition in the United States, the show began in 1959 and has since become a mecca for savvy dealers, serious shoppers, and casual collectors alike.
There is nothing more pleasing than the victory of finding the perfect item at an antique shop, flea market, or even a yard sale. The days of a bygone era were full of life’s simplicity, but often made with an intricacy and complexity of design and craftsmanship. “They just don’t make things like this anymore” – a commonly heard statement – but factual none-the-less !
Over the many years, I have learned to truly value and appreciate the lovely items that were made for a different time.
Today, I am grateful to have myself surrounded by lovely items that have a longer life than me ! If only these items could talk !
God bless !
