Favorite Costume Jewelry Finds from The Brimfield Fair
The first Brimfield Fair of 2008 began on Tuesday, May 13. Unlike last September, we got an early start and avoided traffic for the most part. The morning was a typical New England spring morning, cool and there was a very brisk wind blowing. It was partly sunny early and as the images show the clouds dissipated a bit by the time we arrived. The forecast was for the temperature to warm up to around 58 degrees as the day went on. We were actually lucky as it was supposed to rain.
We did not take many pictures of the grounds or any of the jewelry that we did not purchase this time. Here are a few:
Although we arrived early or at least what we thought was early, the street was already bustling with shoppers. Most vendors were already set up. We visited our favorite at the Collins Apple
Barn first. Most of the vendors we like to do business with were there except for one lady. Maybe we will see her in July. We didn't stay long, maybe around four hours. It was a very productive four hours.
Here are two of our favorite finds:
Lisner 1950s Famous "Oak Leaves" Set
These thermoplastics sets are such favorites amongst 1950s plastic jewelry collectors. They almost always go
for very high prices on eBay. This is actually the first set we have found and we were lucky, it is pink. So pretty for summer!
Aksel Holmsen Sterling and Enamel Viking Sailing Ship
We also managed to find several D&E pieces; two sets, two brooches, one pair of earrings that could be and one that we are sure are. All of these items will soon be for sale at our online shop.
To make shopping easier we have added a mini shopping cart that is at the top of each of our store pages. Enjoy!
