Sometimes a minor inconvenience turns out to be a blessing. I had to park my car a bit of a distance from the main part of the Brimfield Antique Show last week, but look what was right near the parking lot…
I love watching geese take care of their young.
This cutie was enjoying his spot on his owners back. I wish I had someone who would do that for me! He reminded me of our Bichon, Bubbles, who you can read about here. If you’re a dog lover, I think you’ll enjoy that post.
I was on a mission. I went to see if I could pick up some brooches for a wedding bouquet for my daughter, and these are some of my favorites that came home with me.
I couldn’t resist picking up some aprons while I was there. They were in a bin marked ‘vintage’, but I don’t think they all are. This one doesn’t look like it to me, but a couple of the red ones do.
I was so tired when I got back to the cabin I could barely move a muscle. Brimfield is truly an antique lovers paradise.
Have you ever been to Brimfield?

Good Morning ,Doreen!! What a fun read!! We seem to have some in common! I love your discovery and pictures of the beautiful Geese!! I would be pleased as pinch with a couple of the broaches you found, as well as the aprons!!I have some of both from My Grandmother, that I swear I can feel her smiling down on me every time I wear them, and I have collected a few new “gems” of my own!! Thanks for sharing your outing!!
Blessings,

Thanks Theresa! When I saw the geese I wished I had a zoom lens with me. The one I had was up to 135mm but a 200mm would have been much better. I didn’t want to get too close for fear of scaring them off.
That’s so sweet about your grandma, and I’m sure she is indeed smiling down on you, whether you’re wearing the brooches or not!
So glad you stopped by!
Jane says
I’ve never been to Brimfield but I’ve heard so much about it…you’re a lucky gal! I love the brooches, they really are timeless. And if you cook anything like me, you need the aprons!
Hope you’re having a lovely week!
XO,
Jane

The funny thing is Jane although I’m a total slob when I cook (or eat!) I never, ever wear aprons! I probably should, but I just bought them because they’re cute ;).
Cynthia says
The baby Geese were very cute and fluffy, the dog in the backpack such a riot. What a life!!! I am glad you had good fun at the antique show! I have heard that Brimfield is huge.

Huge doesn’t even begin to describe it Cynthia! It would take about 2-3 days to see everything. It’s really something to see!
Thanks for stopping by! I always love your visits!!
