Good Hunting at Brimfield

Well, its been a while since I posted, and I have missed you all.
 I have been out at
  About an hour outside of Boston, it's considered the mecca of the antique junky. Three times a year dealers from all over the world descend. Ralph, J Crew, Martha all have scouts out.
My life long friend Hudson (big cheese at Wisteria) and I went scouting. We have gone through more fields through the years than I can count. When Stefan and I lived in England, Hudson would come over on business and we would go out into the rainy country side and all over England chasing the perfect things. It was good to get back together again just like the old days.
 The first day there we were trapped in a deluge, but the sun came out in the afternoon. After scarfing lobster rolls we soldiered on. I found a few goodies, like these malachite chargers. I was crazy for the turtle faucet, alas it won't work in our mid century. I hope he found a good home. 
The art was particularly good, and there was a booth with antique french textiles that made me swoon. I will be posting on it soon. 
If you have never experienced Brimfield, you gotta put it on your bucket list.
Until then, happy hunting!

Oh yeah, cheers to Janet and Jean and all my pals up there.

    The Brimfield market is so close, it is on my list of places to go. Although I would consider it very dangerous, as I would have to drive a truck there in order to cart back all of my purchases!

    Sounds like an amazing spot and trip. Doing home decor hunting is always more fun with a friend, especially one that knows what they're doing; sounds like you had a good partner in crime. I love trips like this but rarely have the time to do so, I usually find my home decor online. My favorite hidden gem is http://www.maelmoderndecor.com/default.asp
