Last batch from Brimfield…..

Just three and a half hours north of New York, the craziest flea market happens three times per year. On monday night, we drove up to the Quality Inn in Auburn, MA to rest for a few hours before heading to the shows at Brimfield. The Brimfield Shows are happening through the weekend. We’d been told that if you really want to find the best stuff you have to go on the first day; and while running around like wild animals, we ran into friends with the same motivation trying to find things before the prop stylists, the set builders, the J. Crew’s, Ralph Lauren’s, and Tommy Hilfiger’s. The turn-out was pretty incredible; it is the physical manifestation of eBay. I feel that more than ever people are looking for things that have longevity and history as opposed to things that are pre-fabricated and ill-constructed. Although I never really buy much while I’m there, it’s worth going just to witness the spectacle. These are some of the things I found there just walking around.
These are the last group of images from Brimfield. CoolHunting.com did a feature on the Brimfield Antiques Market using some of these images. For the full article, click HERE. Or you can view an image gallery of my photographs from Brimfield on the Wallpaper website by clicking below.
The Brimfield Antique and Flea Market Shows take place three times a year up in Brimfield, Massachusetts. For one week, the entire town gets overtaken. Vendors and buyers alike travel from around the country and the globe to buy, sell, bargain, and trade for a week straight. It’s as if Ebay exploded and landed in one town. A buyer can find objects from the rarest of items to the mundane. These are images from Saturday of this past weekend, the last show for the 2009 season. The 2010 show dates are May 11 – 16, July 13 – 18, and Sept 7 – 12, 2010.
