Trying to find anything specific at aBrimfield Antique Showis like trying to find the elusive needle in a haystack.
you could find almost anything you ever wanted at Brimfield.
But my favorite thing to look for?

For $15, theyre an instant yes.
I try them on; its too bad theyre prescription.
Luckily, its also the perfect size.
One could easily spend a few hours here.
I find a 60s polka dot maxi dress but no jewelry.
Table after table after table of cases are stocked full of vintage and antique fine jewelry.
And besides, Im here to find costume jewelry, anyway.
The same vendor also has a thick, 80s style necklace, surprisingly by Chicos.
She tells me she doesnt sell online or anywhere else but here.
I leave with two large broochesone with black enamel and a second that swivels with dual sides.
I know its fate.
This seller also doesnt sell online or have a shop.
The magic of Brimfield is that many of these sellers dontthey only do markets.
So when you see something you like, its hard to pass it up.
Brett Benson Vintage Jewelry.
Hailing from West Palm Beach, almost every piece they sell is immaculately enchanting.
(I love a good novelty bag.)
With that, Ive secured all the secondhand maximalist costume jewelry I needat least until next year.
The Brimfield Antique Market returns July 914 and September 38, 2024.
