Oh it’s Brimfield week again!  Possibly my favorite place on Earth.  No, we’re not going this time around.  We’re much too busy here in Cape May as peak season has set in.  The streets and beaches are swollen with visitors which I love and wouldn’t leave.  Not even for Brimfield’s swollen streets and fields!

Alas, I haven’t even shared some of our May Brimfield finds with you.  Without further adieu, a few snapshots…

I love this industrial vintage laundry cart.  Unfortunately it is just too big for any space we have and it has since found a new home.  Sigh.

We seemed to have spent a good deal of time shopping a field where several vendors specialized in cleaning out old factories so industrial finds were on our side for sure.  We picked up an old factory skid.  I love the heavy metal edges.  This is still in our possession and destined to become a coffee table just as soon as we find the right castors/wheels/feet.  Not quite sure what yet but something to amp up the height.

Moving along to the salvage department.  We picked up the biggest baluster I’ve ever seen.  And by “we”, I surely mean Ryan picked it up.  This sucker is heavy.  Topped with 30 inch round glass and you’ve got yourself a grand table for a foyer or a petite kitchen bistro table.  The color is original.  This gem is for sale currently at The West End Garage.

Just a bit of TLC was needed and this 3-tier plant stand is serving us very well as a display for our live plants for sale at The West End Garage.  But for the right price, of course, it can find a new home.  For now however, we’re enjoying its company.

One find that is here to stay forever is this hound dog weather vane.  Yes, let me just clarify that it is a reproduction and we’re fully aware of that.  We love it just the same.  Last year we had an opportunity to buy an antique weather vane just like this in Adamstown but the price was just too high for us to justify for a purely aesthetic accessory to use outdoors nonetheless.  We never stopped talking about that weather vane and the should’ve, could’ve, would’ve.  It was like the “one that got away” for us so we were very happy to run into this guy at the right price in Brimfield.  There are few cases that I am ok with a repro but this is one of them.  This hound dog dons our potting shed and greets us every afternoon.

Have you found any remarkable new treasures lately?
