- Join me at the Brimfield Flea Market in Brimfield, Massachusetts! I'll show you around and highlight some of the unique pieces on display. When we get home, I'll show you what I picked up and how I plan to use my vintage finds in my home (and garden) decor.
Can’t wait to see your vintage garden furniture! 😊
Me too! I'll definitely keep you posted.
What a fun shopping trip. Really enjoyed watching your lovely video. Have a fantastic day!!! ☺
Thank you so much! I appreciate you leaving me a comment!
Oh how I would have loved the print you gave away. We studied the print, "Can't You Talk?" In elementary school. In second grade we memorized poetry and studied art paintings. Enjoyed your video as always.
Oh my gosh! I had no idea that's what it was called! Thank you so much for letting me know! That's so interesting - especially that you learned about it in elementary school!
I just found your channel!!! As soon as I saw brimfield my heart stopped😂 I’m originally from mass. and I so miss Brimfield!! So sorry that the rain literally put a damper on the visit. That picture is adorable and would be a sweet brimfield reminder if not one else has asked for it🙏🏻
I did like that wooden tray too. Saw so many things. ❤ I have a couple of metal pieces for the garden from brimfield too!! I’m in Maine now on a homestead so visiting would be difficult (lots of animals) but boy would I love to go in September! Got me thinking now😂.
I'm so glad you found me! I'm also glad that my video gave you a little glimpse of your old stomping ground. I would have loved to send you the picture, but it's already spoken for. I'm going to look out for other fun things that I can offer viewers from time to time. It's so nice to share! You should definitely come to Brimfield next time or in the fall if you can get a homesteading babysitter! (Your new life sounds like my absolute dream, if I'm being honest).
@@WorthingtonHome If I manage a sitter, I let you know! If you go we can meet up and say hello! I’m glad someone else will be enjoying the pic, too cute not to be enjoyed! Homesteading is a lot of work but my bosses can be lots of fun😂 Have new baby goats (2 just born and more on the way)

I was at Brimfield this year as well. I absolutely love going. We arrive late morning, stay overnight and do a full second day. And I agree with you about the lack of pricing. What the heck is with that?? I am so turned off by dealers who do it, and this year it seemed an extremely high number of sellers just couldn't be bothered to price their merchandise. We had a fabulous time though and came home with treasures. May go back again in September!
I'm so jealous that you do 2 days in a row! So much fun! It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only person who was frustrated with the lack of pricing. It's such a basic thing to take care of, right? I'm glad you found some treasures! Our planters and bench should be back soon (from being sandblasted) and I can't wait to see them!
We chickened out and didn't go!!I loved your video and your purchases. Now I wish I had gone! Maybe in July!
Definitely go in July if you can make it work! The weather might be even better in September. We'll definitely head back at least once more this season.
Thanks for taking me along ♥️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you didn't get as wet watching it as I did filming it! 😂
I go to antique fairs and flea markets (including Brimfield) frequently and it’s pretty common for nothing to be priced. You have to get used to asking when you see something that you like. 😊
What was tricky at Brimfield was that we couldn't easily access the seller a lot of time - so we had to decide if we wanted to hunt him/her down to ask pricing questions. With the garden furniture we had to go through 3 tents before we found someone. But I definitely get your point - it's really not that big a deal to ask. I shouldn't be so cranky! 😊😊
Hey, just found your channel and now a new watcher. Loved when you said...'if we get wet....we'll dry off'. lololol There was so many great things at that Flea market. Wow...definitely worth the drive. I do not like when things are not priced as well.
I so glad you found me! Thanks for reaching out and leaving me a comment! When it comes to antiques and vintage items, a bit of rain is not going to stop me. It was totally worth it.
Good observations of old/new.
Thanks! I'm not opposed to a good quality reproduction, as long as I know what I'm buying.
@@WorthingtonHome I agree, transparency is important at any dealer booth. A "look" is often just fine if you know.
Brimfield is great. I'll say one thing for you, you do love to talk.😮
Chris!! Oh my goodness! I think it’s safe to assume you went on Thursday. My daughter and I postponed our visit til Friday and after seeing your video I’m so glad we did. There is such controversy regarding priced or unpriced on the Brimfield Antique Show Facebook page. I personally dislike it when nothing is priced. I’m not asking for prices on every item. What a flip comment from the seller. Imagine what he would have done if you walked away. I would have walked away. OMG! So many phone calls! Ridiculous! I love the pieces you found. Oh, oh, oh!! I wish I had seen that stunning tray. I would have bought it. I collect tole trays and although that was wood, it was stunning. We spent nearly the entire day there and for this almost 77 year old lady that was a workout.
Yes, we went on Thursday - it was the only day we had available. It was soggy for sure, but worth it in the end. There were a lot of things that I would have been likely to buy if I knew what the price was. It's a risky strategy for the seller to not price things - I bet a lot of business is lost that way. The tray was so beautiful! It keeps crossing my mind which is maybe a sign of regret.....I'm incredibly impressed that you spent the entire day at Brimfield, especially at 77! I'm 53 and I was done after 3.5 hours! Very impressive!
@@WorthingtonHome thank you. I was actually impressed with myself. Of course, the next day I could barely walk! Totally worth it!
How disappointing that the weather was so bad! I’m exactly like you about items being priced. I have simply walked away from vendor’s booths when that happens. Love your purchases!
Isn't it soooooo annoying? In this case, I was determined to get the garden furniture so I put up with the silly haggling. It was worth it in the end!
What a feast for the eyes!
O
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I was trying to balance showing lots of interesting antiques and not going on for too long.
Would live the print Chris
It's also spoken for, otherwise it would be my absolute pleasure to send it to you. I'm going to keep my eye out for other fun things that I can offer viewers from time to time . Thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment!❤❤
Chris would love the print ❤
I wish it were still available. It was claimed pretty quickly. I hope to do another give away like that sometime soon, so stay tuned!
I’m in Seattle but have dreams
about antiquing at Brimfield !
Maybe next year lol . Thank you for such a great tour you looked at all the stuff!!
Sorry for that weather… wood out in the rain. Prices seemed reasonable bc all we hear out in PNW is high prices but it’s really the cream of the crop in primitives ❣️
You should definitely fly out sometime! The prices vary widely - there's really good stuff at all price points. I bet there are bargains on the last day, especially!
We were there same day and the next day. Great treasures. Wish I saw you to say hello.
I would have LOVED it if you said hello to me! Or shared your umbrella - either one. 😂
Hi Kris, I love the print and would love to add to my collection if it's not already spoken for.
You are the first person to ask for it! I'll be happy to send it to you if you would kindly send me an email with your mailing address. I can be reached at: Klindsay1388@gmail.com
Hi Kris! Such beautiful & unique items, even in a downpour! That beautiful patio furniture you got goes for crazy high prices here in Indiana! I pick up those pieces when I find them to refurbish ❤ I too need a couple of margaritas before singing the theme song from All In The Family 🤣😁🍷🍷 lol. I'm glad to know that we are all spelling your name correctly now. I too have dealt with that my entire 59 years of life & still do 😅 Have a fabulous day - Jeri ☕☕
It's interesting to know that the prices would be high in Indiana. It's definitely not cheap here either, but I thought we ultimately got a pretty good deal. And the obelisk/trellis was the cheapest I've ever seen by far. I paid more for a really small one that wasn't nearly as old. Someday we'll have to sing a duet - one of us can take the Edith part and the other can be Archie! 😂😂😂😂
@@WorthingtonHome LOL 🤣🤣 Hey I'm up for singing 😆😆 I would probably do the Archie part (you have the soft voice & I definitely do not lol). Yes, it's crazy that furniture like that goes for crazy prices & marketplace is the place to watch (they sale older pieces low low thinking they're "junk", but they're not junk at ALL)! I love some of our Indiana & even Illinois hidden treasure background shops! You can find magnificent pieces (the old'ish country folk here have been collectors for centuries & the next generation not so much). There are definitely treasure hunts that are fantastic! Have a fabulous day, Kris 🥰 ~~ Jeri
Not a bakers rack but a shoe rack from the old mills! They put the pairs of shoes on these racks after they were dyed. I once bought 50 of these and took two years to sell all of them.
That's so interesting! I'm wondering how you came across so many!
Omg that's my pet peeve too! I hate when nothing is priced. It's so inconsiderate to ask how much do you want to pay? You are alot more patient than me!. I would have said I'm not playing games give me a price! Lol
My husband was the negotiator and he's much more patient than me. If we weren't so eager to bring the garden furniture home, we wouldn't have gotten into it the way we did. So silly!
I have a couple of textile or wallpaper stamps. Haven’t actually used them. They look great on my wall as part of a collage.
The price drama from that dealer would have had me walking away. I have no patience for the cat n mouse game.
I bet they're really pretty as a collection! I've heard of people using them in all kinds of different ways, but mine will probably just be for display. The price drama made me nuts (as you can tell). I would usually walk away, but I was in love with the garden furniture! I'm glad we reached a good price in the end, but what a silly waste of time.
I agree about no prices, I feel like they want to size me up to judge what I can afford
You just EXACTLY NAILED how I feel as well. That was very validating - thank you! 💕💕
I agree! Hate to be the buyer AND seller!
It's honestly so silly, and especially hard if there isn't even a starting place for negotiating. That said, I do LOVE my new garden furniture!
