Brimfield Antique Show
The Brimfield Antique Show the week of mystery for me. So much hype and nervous workers at the desk I didn't know what to think. I asked so many questions leading up to the week and wanted to know every little detail I could possibly know for this week.
Brimfield is basically a massive antique show that brings people from all over the world together and many companies get together and buy/sell items. It is the largest outdoor antique show in New England with over 5000 dealers from all over the world. This show occurs 3 times a year, May, July and September. I've been told that movie producers come here for items for the movies. I've been told many things but I wanted to experience it and I worked through out that whole week and boy was it busy.
I loved it. I met guests from Australia, Switzerland, Germany, UK, Ireland, Greece and other countries. Seeing all these travelers come for just this show how crazy this antique show really is. To give you another look, hotels within a 30 mile radius were all sold out just so people would attend to the show.
I spoke with many guests and asked what they do to be involved in the show and many of the guest that stay with us have stayed for many years and either sell items or buy collectibles. It is really unique to see. We had Ralph Lauren and Martha Stewart's pickers/company come in and buy/sell. Its incredible how dedicated these guests are and I have never even heard of it.
Here is just a picture of a old cart to give you an idea of the great stuff they have.
Besides all the exciting stuff I saw the check ins each day were crazy busy and there was lines going out the door. Many of the guests were very friendly and were easy to take care of which is always good so this week kept me busy and I met a lot of new people which was great!
