Last week of Brimfield 2025. Expect tales of vintage and antique items seen and procured. #Brimfield #vintage #antiques #WineSlushies

Here's what I found at Brimfield. Nothing too thrilling. Most of our cart was filled with my partner's stash of car models and vintage license plates.
I found a cast iron sign that reads, "Please Head In" for the entrance to my deck bar, two tiki glasses, boxes of glue for my glue gun, a small cast iron fry pan, a sign that explains that expression on my face, a camp utensil set and a chemistry flask with stand.

I found tiki glasses at Brimfield. I have virtually everything I want for my bar except a tantalus. Someday I'll find one.
This is the first #Brimfield where we have filled our cart with goodies. It's hit or miss and this time was a hit. We'll see Brimfield again in September.

There must be a hum dinger of an accident on The Pike or 290 because the route the GPS sent us to #Brimfield is filled with cows and horses.

#Brimfield is a lot of things, but it is also hearing Abba played on pan flute

I'm lucky I have small foil labels so I can put the actual contents on the reverse side of the bottles without disturbing the style of the decanter. I think it is a really cool example of 1970's design and I am lucky I found it since I had already been to the stall I bought it from and it had not been there before. I also can't believe I was lucky enough to get this for $5. #Brimfield

Here is the decanter I picked up yesterday at #Brimfield. It still had liquor in it but I am not a museum so down the sink it went (though I saved the gold from the Liqueur D'or.) I am restoring it by cleaning, polishing it, replacing the cork and doing my best to preserve the labels.
I think I will use this in conjunction with my amaro tasting set. I can fill it with four different amari to give a sample of a range of amari so anyone interested can learn more about them. #reuse #restore

Didn't find much at Brimfield this time around but that has more to do with having already scored the vintage/antique finds I want in previous years. Today I bought one of these for $15 https://saltrivercollectibles.com/products/vintage-glass-hip-flask-1927-by-universal and one of these for $5 https://www.ebay.com/itm/167322569506?_skw=garnier+bottle&itmmeta=01JVDFTNEWF26JN7FV2Z7PKTYM&hash=item26f533cb22:g:wjAAAeSwfvVns36Z&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fAW3l1eE6UN2a9s6iaj4kj7Y8bS%2BuI7Llpu3e10wkSqfWMXN0Zlj0AOE6%2BLwBDH0%2FzrdMmXSAtCwRmjtT1dzcCmiXIkNaj7T9kvnnM2dHkJsSiq5HleV57Cma9wqoxMYrx23jArw8v77I0Ev2I37Qx1jAv61tB1khO3HeAt%2BsiDqHo%2BHf9xgS92OV8rsmw1xYxjt%2BJx82r37pLRakZzkoVoDrC7W%2B4y0LY9Hi6mKIWDR9GI%2F3d%2Bif%2F8BBe1itzgvhKEdPhqBynXiNHzwBYs3QnLrY7lVIbpUQ3QOgm4dd8Rw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8rX6q_bZQ so I'm happy. It's about the experience more than the find.
I still have my tri-annual visit to Yankee Spirits to look forward to. If I can walk by then. #Brimfield
