I was able to go to the famous Brimfield Antique Show yesterday with my sister, Amanda.
I took lots of pictures and I just cannot decide which ones NOT to share!
My fellow Fiesta lovers? You may as well get a cuppa tea and a cushion to sit upon, you’ll be here a while.
ENJOY!
It was so exciting to find stacks of fiestaware like this one.
This vintage cobalt vase was behind glass doors.
My eyes do keep drifting over to those yummy pink lamps on the left, though, too.
Sister wore bright pink so she wouldn’t get lost in the crowd.
She’s fun & cute & my perfect companion for this day.
Here she is, posing pretty for me on a vintage couch (loveseat?) in front of some beautiful iron panels. (250.00 each!)
30 dollars for a Post86 seamist teapot? I think NOT.
Still, quite cute.
When I showed him the picture, Rich liked the green colander.
And Grace wondered, why didn’t I get that horse plate?
I could sit and look at this next picture for a long time, even though there is no fiesta in it.
I wish I could collect the green (jadeite?) dishes. Maybe Grace can? 
I did decide that I WILL start collecting glass pyrex casseroles, the ones with the flat glass lids. They are in the photo, in the bottom right corner. I really wanted the pink ones. They were sorta pricey for my liking, especially since I have a feeling I could find those easily at thrift shops or tag sales.
This next photo may be my favorite one of all.
Check out the fruit pins!
I wanted about 6 of these pins (the cherry ones, the mushroom ones, and the pig one), but alas, I did not have the desire to spend $$$ on them. The picture will have to do.
(I’m craving fruit right now, and just in time…Rich and the children just got home with a strawberry sundae for me!)
These are the dear owl pins. The one with red eyes said “Avon” on the ticket.
(oh my you should see this big melty sundae I’m eating!)
Okay, next picture.
Just look at all this vintage fiestaware! I had never seen so much in one place.
Beautiful.
another sister picture
more and more vintage fiesta
(Caleb just came in and ate the cherry off my sundae. He can have it, I don’t like them.)
Seth was with us and was a delightful part of our day. No trouble at all.
As you can see by his outfit, I like stripes.
I didn’t realize until this morning that sister and I are reflected in 2 mirrors in this next one:
I’m kinda kicking myself for not buying any of this vintage gray. I don’t have a piece of that yet. Oh well, maybe next year.
The vintage red is so bright and beautiful!
SOoooo, are you wondering what I bought?
These beautiful linens (the towel with red handmade crocheted lace, a rose tablecloth, and a small square tablecloth with dark yellow roses)
I also bought two green (with little flecks of yellow) bangles. I like the clicking sound they make on my wrist.
AND, I bought
a vintage ice pitcher in light green.
It has a small chip on the bottom which means I didn’t have to pay much at all,
and I will use it everyday without worry.
I hope you enjoyed seeing all the pictures from my special day. Rich was home with the children so that I could be free as a bird (singin’ a sweet song)….I got back home at about 3:30. I had so much fun. The Brimfield Antique Show happens 3 times a year and I highly recommend it (if you like such things). I think it will be a yearly tradition for Amanda and me.
Rich and the children are outside right now and Seth is on the floor here next to me. I finished a book today, went to the library, had a bubble bath, did some laundry, and I currently have two wonderful homemade rhubarb pies in the oven. It’s been a great day and it’s not over yet!
Love to you all~
Shanda
PS, Which are you craving most? A strawberry sundae? Or a stack of vintage fiestaware?
Good to be Home 
Eye candy indeed! Love the colors.
Actually, I’m craving the rhubarb pie!
I’m happy you had a free fun day, sounds awesome! I love the dishes, such fun, cheery colors. I’ll have a piece of pie, delicious, mouth watering spring flavor.
I am craving most some Rubarb pie!! (Yum) Maybe if I sit real nice in church I will find a piece waiting for me after? **I will put a fork in my purse just in case** The pictures were great I loved them and yesterday I will hold those memories forever and smile when I think apon them. I had so much fun I need to take pictures of what I bought and do my post…..soon! We will have to go again in July maybe earlier in the morning or in the evening would be fun too! Hope you have a wonderful night. Love ya SISSY
Mmmm…I’ll take a strawberry sundae . It’s been pretty hot here today! I loved seeing all your pictures–all the colors are so beautiful. Enjoy your pie!
Lovely…I see many things I would love to have gotten myself. I’m glad you had such a fabulous day. Take care.
I really do like the dishes…mmmm but,lately i have been washing way too many!! So i’ll take the pie!
I don’t think i realized how pretty the dishes really are until now,when i looked at the one picture of all of them together,then with the one green one sitting amongst the other things,it really stood out.
That one picture was really neat too!
I loved the outing and seeing everything with you and your pretty sis! So fun! I would like to join you on the porch with a cup of tea and look at the pretty new linens waving in the breeze.
hey do you like owl pins for real? looks like you had lots of fun! 😉
I love that big trunk!! That is pretty!
And definatly a strawberry sundae
Fiesta was never my thing but you have done a wonderful job of making me see the gorgeousness of it.All that color is wonderful. And the linens–ohh.
I want to go next time!
Wow Shanda, what fun you must have had. I may just see if my daughters and mom want to take a road trip in July. Joe and I were just talking about rhubarb. Neither of us has ever had it. What’s it tast like??
i had to laugh at first when I saw the title I thought it would be about your husband:) Totally wrong on that one! It looks like you had a great time!! I’m glad you were able to spend time with your sister and Seth. thanks for sharing & I would take the sundae, I love Strawberry Sundaes.
I have to say I’d definitely the sundae over the fiesta although I do love the bright colors of fiesta! 🙂
I’m glad you had a wonderful day, and that you shared it with us. I love seeing old things, and I would love going to something like that. We spent some time yesterday visiting second hand stores. You never know what you might find! I love your purchases!
Yea, I wondered what the “Eye Candy” blog would be about! What a FUN time you had! I love dishes and antiques and stuff. I saw a few things in your pictures that I would’ve bought! As for the Fiestaware or the strwberry sundae…I’d take the dishes! Love, GAil
Well……..since I already had a brownie with a scoop of ice cream…………I’d say the Fiestaware “-)
Love the pictures, so colorful. I would have loved to have gone~
~Cinnamon
Sounds like a wonderful day! It was fun looking at your pictures.
oooh, the sundae!! I wish I could have been at this show–SO cool!
I too am craving the rhubarb pie:). Is yours a custard type or just fruity with clear sauce?
Well, I’m not a strawberry sundae person, nor a collector of fesitaware, but . . . that cobalt blue vase in one of your first pictures would be lovely with some huge Indian Summer sun flowers in it, wouldn’t it? And, the green (green? really? YOU – GREEN?!!!!) was something I had picked out while “browsing with you” and I was glad you picked up one of the ice pitchers! I love the table linens and they look like some I own.
I now want both the amazing bright dishes and the ice cream!! 🙂
Me? What am I craving?A big ole slab of rhubarb PIE!!!!!♡mmmmmmmmmmmm……….
Oh my, what a lovely day!! I would have had a BLAST there, too 🙂
What a fun day!!! 🙂 So glad you and your sis got to enjoy it. Take me next year! Just kidding. It does sound like something I would enjoy. BlessingsMelody
Pass byComment:That’s looks like a fun day!
ooooo, lots, lots of eye candy there! Loved all the colors of the dishes stacked up. I like your dish cloth, table cloths and pitcher. -such sweetness in seeing them hanging there on your porch on bright sunshiney day. I like that picture a lot. I should go there one of these days!
PS I want your sister’s dress. :o)
i’m craving the fiestware! and your sis’s adorable PINK dress. :)lovely.fun.post.
I’m so glad to hear that you got a day away….and with your sister!! I love days with my sisters. :)I LOVE all the fiesta ware! Wow. I don’t own any…but I really enjoy your collection!!!
My gram had the avon owl pin that you had a pic of above.
Sounds like a lovely weekend. 🙂
what a fun day this looks like! sisters are great too 🙂 I love going out w/ mine and just looking and such, even if we don’t actually buy much! thanks for all the eye-candy 🙂 and sharing it w/ me ~ blessings on you and yours this week!alyssa
Nice pictures and it looks like a lot of fun. Glad to hear that you got out for a while…I wish i could have gone with you both.
I want to know how much the May Gohl trunk was…I think that would have been my find of the day. I’m sure it was $$$ but I still think I would have splurged on it.
Shanda, I do think I would like you for a neighbor and friend. 🙂 My sister collects Fiestaware and I collect Jaedite. I also collect Elloise Wilkin’s books, love old linens, and the such. I love the tablecloths you bought at the antique show. Your fun posts always inspire me. -Maria
Out of those two things –fiesta ware. This definitely was eye candy. Thank you for sharing!
The sundae wins I think!
Oh, I would have enjoyed that antique show.
