Antiques, anyone?

Today two friends and I went to Brimfield. . .

It was so much fun! It is an antiques show, with thousands of vendors from various parts of the country. We were only able to get to a small area of the show, but boy, oh boy! Here are just a few of the things we saw. . .

The photo just doesn't capture the sparkle of the silver on the table. The vendor had it bundled and tied with colorful ribbon on a black cloth, and there were at least three full tables. . .it was stunning!

These are tops to canning jars. I imagine the jars have long since been broken. . .

Aren't these pin cushions just adorable? They were only a couple of inches from heel to toe. . .

There were so many beautiful items. Some made me pause and wonder who used them before, and how did they find their way here? Some reminded me of things that were my grandparents' or are my parents'. Some were just interesting pieces to look at. I wish I would have taken more photos, but maybe that is enough of a reason to go back again another time. . .
