A chronicle of our journey across country in a teardrop trailer and our adventures in our new home on Cape Cod .

Brimfield Antique Show, MA

This was our first visit to Brimfield, although we first heard about it a few years ago. Brimfield is only two hours away and we spent three days there hunting for treasures and camping in our teardrop. All the antique dealers set up along both sides of a mile stretch of road and it took us two full days of walking around to see everything. It was exhausting, but so much fun and we found lots of wonderful things for great bargains! A trip to Brimfield will definitely be an annual event for us while living in New England and someday we might even go as antique dealers!

One of over 3000 vendors at Brimfield. This one had some incredible industrial pieces that we loved.

Gorgeous 1920s French club chairs. If only I had $5000 laying around, but a girl can always dream.

Some of our fabulous finds from Brimfield! An industrial stool from a high school science lab, two letterpress drawers, two shoe forms, a GE tabletop fan from the 20s (it still works!), and a gooseneck lamp for bedtime reading.
