A few weeks ago we wrote about our trip to Brimfield. A few people have asked us about what we actually brought back so we've posted a shot of the bulk of our haul above.
If it looks a little stingy, there are three reasons.
First, we drove down to Massachusetts in our little station wagon and that limited us to smaller buys like linens, ceramics, glass, silverware and the basket that now sits on the back of Philip's bicycle.
Second, we aren't really wanting for any furniture for the studio, shop or home. Renting a storage unit is on our to-do list though, and that should help us rationalize buying big pieces again.
And third, we did pick up a few things that are inspiring some upcoming projects but we're keeping all that on the down-low for now so they were excluded from the shot.
We were successful in tracking down some vintage marquee letters for the store and installed those this weekend. Many people walk into the first floor of the shop and think what's hanging up there is all the merch we've got. In reality, the bulk of the stock is on the lower level. Hopefully the new sign helps shoppers feel more confident about descending five steps to check it out.
