while our friends were here, we went to concord to see the historical sites…
we were {meaning: i was} a little side-tracked by the charming antique shops…

we’ll go back to concord one day to see the historical stuff. we’ll go back on a warmer day in the spring.

do you antique? it’s a newer obsession of mine. i started here this year!

Hello antique-thrifting friends! guess what? I went to my first antique show this week in Brimfield, Massachusetts. The Brimfield antique show. I am still a novice when it comes to shopping for antique/vintage items. I sometimes visit websites such as https://antiquesworld.co.uk/ to buy some new antique items, but I love visiting antique shows. I feel like I seem to find all the wrong shops or I don’t have an eye for what will blend well with the newer items I own. At Brimfield, there are so many vendors – you can find incredible goods all on one long street. The show offers block after block of tents set-up full of vendors selling every kind of antique you can imagine.
