Peek at Brimfield

We did not go this time. I am getting up there and though each booth leaves me so excited to see the next...I can't do the Brimfield miles like I used to.
My idea - those Segway gizmo's. Heck, rent em....with a little cart behind them. I'd pay good money and spend all my money at Brimfield again. Free idea...use it!

Sorry no quilts. They just don't seem to sell like they use to.
Will pay cash or trade for shop merchandise.
Please no stains, rips or smells accepted.
Call or stop by the shop.
We always keep a supply on hand and these are some of out best sellers.
Like I always say, our prices are more than reasonable and I don't think we have ever charged more than 10 bucks tops for the fanciest of fancies. So our payout would be fair based on our selling price.

Thank you in advance

What's an Antimacassar  you say....

I guess the best way to describe them is a larger doily designed to sit on the headrest of an upholstered chair to guard against men's hair pomade/ Brill Cream from the 40's and 50's.

OLD BRASS -OR IS IT?

Found this on an awesome antiques informational website. Tons of articles to help you in your search for collectables and antiques!

OLD BRASS -OR IS IT?
by Fred Taylor
   When you read the catalog for an auction that will be presenting some genuine antique furniture, it's always interesting to read the descriptions. Some of the most alluring will describe a piece of furniture as having "original finish" or "original brasses". That's a real selling point when looking at a chest of drawers that may be 200 years old and think that those brass pulls have been there undisturbed for that whole time. Can that be?
