Brimfield Antiques show

Hi kids, I just got back from Brimfield and am experiencing the letdown. There is nothing in the world quite like the Brimfield flea market. As you know, we take trips to Europe to find antiques and travel to the big shows in the USA, but Brimfield is the king of them all. We noticed that many of the west coast buyers are going to Brimfield rather than go to Texas to buy stuff that originated in Brimfield. The foriegn buyers were also in full force, taking advantage of the weak dollar. All in all the business has slowed down from the "good old days" but there is still the thrill of the hunt and the surprise sales that make it all exciting.
We have a few spots available in our February trip to Europe with stops at the fairs at Arezzo in Italy, Swinderby & Newark in England, and the Paris flea markets.
