Ryan goes to Brimfield....

Boy did I have a haul at Brimfield this weekend!

My first time going to the show, let's just say I got a bit carried away.  Should be lots of inspiration for some coming collections!

For those of you who are not familiar, Brimfield is a thrice yearly show in Sturbridge, MA with over 500 or something antique dealers from across the country.  It's like going to the MET.  You need a week to do it justice.  But you can also do a flying survey in a bout a full day.  Tornado warnings scared us off, but fortunately we were able to see a lot.

I will definitely be returning.  Especially for the special textile auction that accompanies the spring show next year.


So perfect for a Nantucket house!



Love the hand!


And this elephant!


A trunk from the days before rappers ruined a great brand.  Thank god for epi-leather!!


This tray table needs to be in my living room.  Covered with bottles of Blanton's, Bulleit, Gosling's and Hendricks.



Looks like the good 'ol Berkshires.


Cute print from the 70's.  Awful material.


Awesome weathervane for a Nantucket home.


I need this extremely rare weather vane for my shooting lodge.  But maybe I could commission one for less than the $8,000 price tag on this puppy.



Another great find for the living room of a Nantucket house.


I talked about having the dealer cut the edge off this one.  The center is fabulous.  Love the wave-like pattern.


My haul....
