Gorgeous Garden Statuary Display at the Brimfield Show

So beautiful! This was a display that I returned to twice. It was magical!

Shabby-Licious!

Look at this display at a booth at Brimfield. How cute is this bureau with the lil shelf atop it filled with goodies.

Doesn't this make you want to just...sigh...??!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Just too pretty!

Another wonderfully inviting booth!

What do these three things have in common?

A Gargoyle that know the world's secrets, a vintage bicycle & a cool Vespa with a side car....what do they have in common?

They were all looking for new homes at the Brimfield Antiques Fair!

A Day at Brimfield Antiques Show

Just a sampling of some of the wonderful country pieces at the show.

A country bench a mile long!

A cupboard with old dry chippy paint, what character!

Nice display featuring an old wooden horse.

Gargoyle Fountain at Brimfield

Bob really like the large gargoyle fountain. I was just amazed at how big & heavy all the garden statuary was & wondered how in the world they got it unloaded & set up! It was a gorgeous display & the pics I took did not show how incredible the area was.

Brimfield Antiques Show

We made the trip to Brimfield on Saturday! Started out at 6 am in the motorhome, in the rain. But luckily the weather improved mid morning. Here I am amid way too many iron planters & garden arbors.

A lovely September day on Great East Lake

Shabby Doggie Bed

This is big old Tzu Tzu in a chippy iron bed I got today. I figured he'd jump in it right away. And he wasn't thrilled when I bothered him to get a pic!

It's starting to look like FALL at Olde Towne Hall Antiques. Rock maple hutch in burgandy paint $179.

HUTCH

Maple Hutch now in Burgandy Paint

Maple Hutch

Here's this week's project...try to transform this 1960s early American style maple hutch into a nice display piece for a country cottage.

UPDATE! The hutch is now burgandy. It *spoke* to me LOL & I just couldn't do it in the linen paint color I'd planned. That happens to me often. (...she talks to furniture?)
It may get a top coat of black or oil rubbed bronze paint color. We'll see.
It will look awesome in a country prim deco. Perfect with an old wooden trencher filled with BitterSweet & a couple grubby candles on display.

Looks like I'm going to do a big redo at the Stratham shop tomorrow. (poor hubby)

And because a chair, bureau & a bed sold out of Just The Thing today I guess I'll be in there too adding something.

We were out on the bike & there were yard sales & flea markets everywhere. I didn't stop at even one, there's too much stuff in my garage/basement as it is & I have boxlots that are going to auction on Tuesday.
But I always think there's going to be a treasure just waiting for me at some sale & it is difficult to pass them by.

Do you have a yard sale find that you always remember as the best deal ever?

The Horseless Carriage

Just thought I'd post this pic from several years ago of one of my rooms up at the Horseless Carriage Antique Shop. I sold a lot there, rented a few different rooms. The place was an old tavern, built late 1700s & still retained some of the old architecture & charm.
Unfortunately that has changed in recent years, the place was renovated for offices but none have been rented. It is such a shame the place sits empty.
