My apologies for the short radio silence here at the obsessive imagist—I had a weekend full of adventures that had me going non-stop from Thursday to Monday. I spent two days hanging out with my Mom, including wandering around the annual Brimfield Antique show* (see last year's post here) and snapping up lots of goodies. Some of my favorite purchases were: letterpress type to use in crafting my wedding invites, vintage metal lockers, a full set of blue pyrex mixing bowls, and several vintage Ball jars to store my growing collections. Still, as you can see above, lots of other things (high end and low, silly and sophisticated) caught my eye. Hope you like the them, too!

Learn more about the Brimfield show here. And get excited for another weekend update post (with links to new drool-worthy shops) tomorrow!




*As some of you may know, a month ago a freak tornado touched down in northern Massachusetts, wreaking havoc and devastation in many small towns, including Brimfield. The amount of support amidst the heart-wrenching damage (countless trees simply uprooted and tossed aside, homes destroyed and several lives lost) i witnessed in Brimfield was inspirational. If you are interested in donating to the relief effort, please go here and here.

I know this post is bombarding you with photos. I just couldn't choose! Last Friday, while exploring the Brimfield Antique Show, I took about 100 photos of the booths and the amazing objects on offer. Looking through these shots I realize that I have certain things that I am drawn to: 1950s era tin toys, bold packaging, woodblock letters, and kitschy patriotic items. Needless to say you can find almost anything you are interested in at Brimfield. It is, after all, one of the biggest antique shows in the country! Brimfield is held three times a year in the sleepy town of Brimfield, Massachusetts--in May, July and September--so there is plenty of time to get there and find out for yourself what you might like to collect!
