last weekend my friend brie and i put on our most non-sensible shoes and hit the brimfield flea market - a little something i'd been dreaming of since reading of it on soulemama's blog. it was much closer that i realised and feel silly for not going sooner - i'd originally thought going without any money to spend would be too heartbreaking but oh the eye candy everywhere was completely satisfying, as was the dreaming of things i'd buy if i were rich!
my grand total for the day was $6 - a $5 pair of cool hippy earrings and a hot fresh cider donut - the most divine thing a dollar could possibly buy.
i loved seeing all sorts of different things and collecting photographs of the things i loved. brie and i had a great time digging through hilarious vintage clothing (and fabric), meeting people and making plans to go back early and better prepared next time!
Yes, yes, a dream of mine too!

My sister and I went there, too! It was quite overwhelming and we definitely didn't get to see it all. We were disappointed that many of the things were either mass-made China crap or overpriced items (we really wanted some vintage blue ball jars), but it was still fun and we had a blast joking about many of the things. We too made off with earrings!

Augh - I'm jealous. Here's my dream: being on one of those hgtv shows and being able to shop with their money. Wouldn't that be a blast???
