So I've been in New England for most of my adult life and I had never gone to the famous Brimfield Fair. And I've always wanted to go! So last week, I played hokey from  work and spent the morning there.
And what a lot of stuff! It's like every New England's grandmother's attic emptied! Crazy!

There were many chinoiserie  knick-knacks which I couldn't decide if I was charmed by or offended:
And then there were things I actually considered but couldn't afford. Even though you might think the Brimfield fair is a gigantic yard sale, I found the prices rather high. I found out later that most people expect you to bargain with them:

| I really wanted to have these for our yard! | 
  | 
| this was so sweet and Rain Dragon LOVEs merry-go-rounds |

| I thought it would look neat in my studio | 
I did take home an elephant!
