back from brimfield ~

yesterday i headed out for the brimfield flea market
with my son, hunter, the "big guy," as he's known around here.
usually i go with my girlfriends, but they couldn't make it.
just as well, as i don't get to spend many days alone with him.

...here are a few pics of our day ~







one day is not enough time ~ so many treasures to uncover and hunt for!

arrg
! i'm kicking myself that i didn't get a picture of big guy ~
i know bad mum. anyway, i'll give you a visual ~
hair down to his shoulders with a vintage black bowler hat ~
too cool. here's a pic of him on his b~day.

he'd be thrilled that i posted him with cottage furnishings...haha!
when we came upon a booth that looked like my style, he'd say, "looks like they read your dreams." he's a sweetie and a keeper. we didn't buy much, but we had a fabulous day together!

Hi Heidi! I've never been to the famous Brimfield flea market, that would be a joy! I did however just return from a little known, but huge flea market in Ohio... 4200 vendors and tons of goodies! I managed to post some of the great finds I lugged home with me, on my blog, lol..
Your photos are fabulous, and the "booth of your dreams" is gorgeous! It would be mine too!

Thanks for the eye candy,
Michelle

Oh I am green with envy about your flea markets. We have absolutely nothing like that here in Australia! It must be so much fun treasure hunting.
