I spent this past weekend in New England, visiting my mother (for Mother’s Day) and galavanting through the Brimfield Antiques Show! Three times a year, Brimfield Ma, hosts one of the largest antique shows in the country with acres upon acres of booths, where dealers from all over the country come to sell their goods.  There are a number of genres from silver to furniture dealers and many many kinds in between.  My parents happen to live quite close so my mother is veteran who has been going for many years. Although I’m relatively new to the experience, I have learned well from my mother and each time I go, I come home with some treasures.

Cascading Crystal Chandelier At Brimfield

Our 'Dressing Area' Light

Brass Crab

This time I came home with two light fixtures – one for the bedroom which is a large cascading crystal chandelier, the other for the dressing area is a small crystal chandelier, and a brass crab – that was a gift to my boyfriend.

For anyone planning to take the trip in the future, here are a few tips that I always suggest to newcomers.
