Brimfield Bound


Today we played hooky & drove out to Brimfield to go to the last flea market of 2013. 

I rather like going on the last days, I feel like the sellers are more human & faced with the threat of having to haul stuff home, are way more likely to give good deals.


We dont usually buy much, but we always find something & we always have a great time. 
Mr. Acorns grew up in the town so its fun to see who still works at the Italian restaurant & the gas station.

Personally my favorite part of the day is picnicing on the bank of the river.

So loaded with a twenty & a smile, we'll see what the day brings us!
Happy Friday to you!

I adore flea markets but now I have to try very hard not to get carried away because I could quite easily look at that vintage leather trunk and think "ooh, that would be so useful. I could store loads in there..." before reminding myself that I have no where to put it!

Not having enough space is something I always forget...especially when it comes to trunks!
