Gah, it's snowing already!!!

It is way, way, way too early for this crap! Dude, it's not even November yet. What happened to Fall??? Nothing stuck to the ground in our immediate area, but there was definitely snow mixed in with the rain on my commute home and watching the news right now there are neighborhoods with real accumulation. I'm not ready for winter yet!

Brimfield Fair

A few weeks ago I went to the Brimfield Antiques Show in Brimfield, MA. My mom, sister, and I did the hour and a half drive together on a somewhat wet, muddy, and early Tuesday morning (dude, I voluntarily got up at like 5am on a vacation day!). Think of it like a gigantic yard sale with a pretty cool variety of products.

One thing I really loved was this huge dresser-like chest of square drawers. It makes me think of an apothecary store and was just so cool. I have no idea what it cost as it's not something I could either transport or have room for in our house, so I didn't even ask.

A week or two later, I was flipping through the pottery barn catalogue and what should I see but this piece:

Very similar concept, no? This pic is actually two cabinets side by side, so one unit is only 5 drawers by 4. The cost is $699 for just one unit. Even though I didn't ask the price of the Brimfield piece, I can pretty much guarantee that it was a fraction of Pottery Barn's price.

One piece that I actually would have bought was this great tricycle with a big basket in the back. Perfect for farmers market trips, little errands around town, and other romantic ideas that I would probably never actually execute on :) But, alas, it too wouldn't fit in our car. It was $100 and just so, so cute.


Look at the old school horn. It's all just so cute! Willy, however, was not at all impressed. Boo on him!

And I'll leave you with this piece de resistance. This would have fit in the car but I decided maybe it wasn't right for our home. I kind of love it though, hahaha!
