Pretty Little Green Things

I took this weekend as an excuse to get out of the city and up to Brimfield.  Last year we scored some pretty nice pieces (a gorgeous antique dresser and a nightstand in need of love), but this year I wasn’t necessarily looking for anything in particular.  We have all the furniture we can possibly fit in our tiny apartment, so what is a city dweller to hunt for.  The answer came in vintage dresses and jewelry.  Easy to carry and easy to bring home on the train (yup the luxury of not owning a car in NYC).  But of course while we were there, I couldn’t resist taking pictures of the fun and interesting things we saw.  If you went to Brimfield, what did you see?

 Antique picnic set

Ship replica.  I’ve always wanted one of these in my house.  Not sure where I would put it, but the craftsman ship on some of these vessels is amazing!

How cool is this bed frame?  Too bad I just bought a new headboard!

This is a sign my husband would appreciate, not because he’s a gardener, but because he likes corny jokes.

All of these antique glasses and dishware make me wish for a larger kitchen and more opportunities to entertain large groups of people.

Hello!

I do love me some antique door and cabinet hardware…

How amazing are those lady lamps?  They would be perfect at a bar in Brooklyn for sure.

Ahoy matey!

Good thing I didn’t go to Brimfield with my husband, otherwise this milkshake machine just might have come home with us.

These nesting bowls definitely bring me back to my childhood since my mom has and still uses her set daily.  I’ve looked for a set of my own, but they’re more expensive than you would think!

Can you sense the nautical theme yet?

Heehee

Just in case you were thinking about dressing up as Santa Claus this year.

Sock forms to go with the glove forms above

Hello stained glass!

As a fan of spin class, I have a special spot in my heart for this antique stationary bike.

Suitcases

 How cute are these mismatched tea cups.  Makes me want to have a tea party!

For the winners in your life
