THE ONE TIME IT'S GONNA RAIN ALL MONTH...

...and it's on the day we'd intended to set up at Todd Farm! Sunday, May 31st is looking like a wet one, perhaps the only real rainy day we've seen all month, so we will not be at Todd Farm this weekend. Look for us to try again in four weeks, on Sunday June 28th!

NEXT STOP: TODD FARM ON MAY 31st AND JUNE 28th!

We expect to make our first flea market appearance of the year next Sunday, May 31st, at Todd Farm in Rowley, MA. Todd Farm has long been considered the best flea market for antiques and vintage items in Massachusetts and, along with the Elephant's Trunk in CT, one of the best in all of New England. We also plan to be there on Sunday, June 28th, which is the weekend between Father's Day and Independence Day, and will likely also set up at least once in August before returning to Hertan's Field in Brimfield in September. It's going to be a busy summer!

BRIMFIELD 2015 - A TRULY GRAND FINALE

It was another unbelievable day in Brimfield on Sunday! In fact, when the history of the Brimfield Antique Shows is written, this week may well be recalled as one of the biggest and best weeks of all time. To wit:
 There were huge crowds all day, every day.
 The weather was absolutely fantastic.
 TV shows American Pickers and Flea Market Flip (with GMA's Lara Spencer) were both in town.
 We set sales records every single day and heard of similar results from a lot of our friends.
In sum, we simply could not have asked for a better Brimfield experience than this past week's show. David, Janet, Jerry, and all of the folks at Hertan's Field remain amazing hosts and we thank them once again for doing things the way they should be done. We plan to be back in September!

BRIMFIELD 2015 - SATURDAY SHENANIGANS

We slept in a bit on Saturday because a few early morning showers were in the forecast, and sure enough, by the time we opened at 8:30, those few light sprinkles had passed, and we saw not even a spot of rain for the rest of the day. A lot of shoppers slept in as well, leading to a slow morning for sales, but by the time lunchtime rolled around, the fields were once again packed, and we ended up having our best Saturday ever! Sunday is the final day for the shows, and we are expecting another banner crowd, so we'll be up early and plan to open before 8am. Stop by Hertan's Field SPACE 36 for special last-day deals and bargains!

BRIMFIELD 2015 - HERTAN'S FIELD DAY THREE

More good weather on Friday meant that the Fields along Route 20 were once again packed to the Brim with shoppers and excitement. We did some early shopping at J&J, and then sat back and watched the crowd slowly spread its way across the shows in search of deals, occasionally even pausing to stop by our tent in SPACE 36 at Hertan's. Saturday morning could be a bit on the wet side, so you might want to sleep in a bit and delay your arrival so as to dodge those expected showers. And if you can't make it tomorrow, no worries, we'll be there Sunday as well!

BRIMFIELD 2015 DAY TWO

If you traipsed the fields of Brimfield today you now know the definition of perfect shopping weather! We're looking forward to just as nice a day tomorrow, and will be bringing along some framed art, as well as unframed pieces from an MFA collection of ancient Egyptian and Syrian images. We'd recommend arriving as early as possible on Friday to avoid being stuck in traffic...

BRIMFIELD 2015 DAY ONE IS IN THE BOOKS!!

"Spectacular" is really the only word we can use to describe Wednesday at Hertan's Field! Crowds as large as they have been in years led to what was by FAR our best sales day ever! We'll be back in SPACE 36 of Hertan's Field tomorrow with a few additional items in tow. Perfect weather is expected tomorrow and Friday so come on down!

BRIMFIELD 2015 - TODAY IS THE DAY!

Today is the day we've looked forward to all winter! Hertan's Field opens at NOON sharp and should be packed! We have once again been blessed to garner a spot in the FRONT ROW and could not be more excited to share our treasures! Find us in our white tent in SPACE 36 of Hertan's Field from NOON today right through Sunday afternoon - as long as folks are buying, we'll be selling!

BRIMFIELD 2015 SNEAK PREVIEW - FURNITURE AND ACCESORIES

Here's an example of some of the small furniture pieces and accessories we'll be bringing to SPACE 36 of Hertan's Field starting Wednesday at NOON. We've got more lamps, an enamel-top table, a boatload of wooden crates and boxes, an antique piano stool, and the list goes on! Be there or miss it!

BRIMFIELD 2015 SNEAK PREVIEW - A 100-YEAR-OLD LOUISVILLE SLUGGER!

Here's a fantastic vintage collectable for baseball fans. This early Louisville Slugger baseball bat was made some time between 1897 and 1911 by J. F. Hillerich & Son. It's seen its share of use, but it is still in good shape for its age and would make a terrific addition to any sports memorabilia collection. We SOLD this bat to a big Mets fan on day two! 

BRIMFIELD 2015 SNEAK PREVIEW - MIRRORS

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! We always have a number of cool mirrors available at Brimfield and this year is no exception. Check out a few examples below!

    This Syroco mirror has an eagle finial and is in spectacular condition. SOLD DAY ONE!

This is a great old wooden antique in terrific shape with a new mirrored surface. SOLD DAY TWO!

     

                         This is a brass Victorian stand-up boudoir mirror and is $30.

BRIMFIELD 2015 SNEAK PREVIEW - MILK GLASS!!

Lovequist Antiques has Brimfield's largest selection of milk glass! From salt and pepper shakers to candy dishes, and gravy boats to large fruit bowls, we've got hundreds of pieces available from makers like Westmoreland and Fenton, and all in great condition. Find us starting Wednesday May 13th in SPACE 36 of Hertan's Field!

BRIMFIELD 2015 SNEAK PREVIEW - AMES MAID CHAIR / STEPSTOOL

One of our favorite recent acquisitions is this striking midcentury Ames Maid chair / stepstool. These vintage chairs were made in the 1950's and 1960's and are tough to find in this kind of original condition. This version has an adjustable-height back and the vinyl comes in a fantastic grey-silver-black color scheme which shines like new. We'll be asking $65 for this chair when we open at NOON this Wednesday in SPACE 36 of Hertan's Field!

BRIMFIELD 2015 SNEAK PREVIEW - A HEBREW TYPEWRITER!

Here's an item you've likely never seen before and may never see again! It is an antique ORGA 8 typewriter with Hebrew keys! It was made in Germany sometime between 1935 and 1938 and is still in working condition. It is mounted on its original board and also comes with its original metal cover. We can't imagine that too many of these beauties survived World War II Germany (we've never seen another one) and as such it SOLD in the first hour on Wednesday!

BRIMFIELD 2015 SNEAK PREVIEW - ADVERTISING

From metal and porcelain signs to antique tins, bar mirrors, pinback pins, and even an old leather salesman's sample case, we'll have hundreds of different advertising pieces available this Wednesday May 13th starting at NOON in SPACE 36 of Hertan's Field. (The Coke sign, both mirrors, and sample case have SOLD!) Hope to see you there!

FIND US AT BRIMFIELD STARTING NEXT WEDNESDAY!
