FIND US IN HOLLIS THIS SUNDAY!

We will be at the Hollis Flea Market in Hollis, NH, this Sunday, June 1st! We'll be there by 6am with tons of great stuff at even better prices! The weather should be delightful so come on down!

BRIMFIELD 2014 WRAP-UP!

We awoke to heavy rain in Billerica on Saturday morning, but by the time we got to Brimfield the sun was already shining and folks were slowly streaming into the fields. We had been warned the night before about the possibility, nay, probability, of our tent getting flooded, so we had spent a good hour the evening before moving pretty much everything off of the floor, or at least onto tarps. Our efforts were rewarded, as although our tent did get flooded, the damage was mainly confined to the grass inside, which slowly turned to mud thru the course of the day.
Within minutes of our opening, a customer from the day before returned to buy a beautiful framed circus poster, and the deals continued into the early evening hours. We started packing up a little after 5pm and left around 8:45.
Sunday was spent unloading our vehicles and returning the rental van we got from Peter Fuller Rental & Pre-owned in Waltham. It was a Chevy Express cargo van and turned out to be perfect for our needs. We'd also like to thank the folks at Elegant Tent & Party, who provided us with a terrific DRY tent at a great price. Be sure to mention us when you call them for your next rental!
Finally, we'd like to offer our deepest thanks to David, Jerry, Roger, and all of the great folks at Hertan's Field for helping make our first Brimfield experience nothing short of terrific. They do everything the way it should be done, and we're already looking forward to our next show with them, which will either be this September or next May.
Speaking of next shows... we are considering making our Todd Farm debut on Sunday, June 1st, but that decision needs to be slept on... it's been a LONG week...

BRIMFIELD DAY THREE

Brimfield Day Three was wet and wild, but still fun, and still pretty busy! The hardy souls who braved today's rain were rewarded with some great bargains. We're looking forward to a sunny Saturday, which will be our last day in Hertan's Field, & we'll be there from 8am until at least 5 or 6 in the evening making deals! Find us in the front row of Hertan's Field, in Space 36, right next to a bright pink tent!

BRIMFIELD 2014 - DAY TWO

Day Two of Brimfield 2014 is in the books! Things started off exceedingly slow this morning, but the field got much busier after lunchtime and soon the buyers started parting with their foldin' money! The Friday forecast is for a misty/showery morning followed by heavier rain in the afternoon, so we are going to arrive around 8am, and we're planning to leave when the rain intensifies, which is expected to happen by 3 or 4 pm. On Saturday we expect to get to Brimfield by 8am and will likely stay into the evening hours. We're in Space 36 of Hertan's Field, which is in the front row (the side closest to Route 20), right next to a bright pink tent.

BRIMFIELD DAY ONE!

We're back from a successful first day at ‎Brimfield‬! Hertan's Field opened at noon and within minutes we'd sold several items! It was the best kind of madness! We'll be back at it tomorrow (Thursday) from 7am until at least 4pm, as well as on Friday and Saturday. Find us in the FRONT ROW of Hertan's, in Space 36 - we're right next to the pink tent!

TODAY IS THE DAY!

Today at noon we make our Brimfield debut in Space 36 of Hertan's Field! We've worked hard getting ready for this show and we can't wait for it to begin! We'd like to thank David Lamberto for his tremendous hospitality, our friends at Elegant Tent And Party for our excellent tent, and the folks at Peter Fuller Rentals for our rental van. Check out our Facebook page for pictures and stories from Opening Day and beyond!

BRIMFIELD SNEAK PEEK - AN N. D. CASS DOLL CRADLE WITH ORIGINAL PILLOWS!

Here's something we'll be bringing to Brimfield that you just do not see very often. This N.D. Cass doll cradle is a great example of midcentury modern simplicity, cleverly counterbalanced by the vibrant design of the bedboard. What is uncommon about this cradle is that it also comes with its two ORIGINAL pillows in AMAZING condition! The bedboard and pillows feature the exact same fabric and one of the pillows even has its original tags. This remarkable find will be priced at $85 and I don't expect it to last long! Find us in SPACE 36 of Hertan's Field starting Wednesday!

BRIMFIELD SNEAK PEEK - GOLD SYROCO EAGLE MIRROR

We are going to have several Syroco items available at Brimfield this year, and chief among them is this rare and gorgeous midcentury gold eagle mirror.
