Ok, so off went to Brimfield, MA to attend the last two days of the Antique Show and despite not buying anything on our list, my husband and I had tons of fun walking and checking out all the vendors and their wares and simply being in each other's company. Of the items on our wish list and spied at the show were rotary phones and vintage world globes but since the vendor and I couldn't agree on a fair price, I would simply pass on it. I guess I expected that since it was approaching the end of the show, I'd be able to get the lowest price. Oh well, so it only means my searches continues and frankly that's what is so exciting - the thrill of the hunt and the exhilaration of the find!
In retrospect, I think that we approached the show with the wrong strategy. I figured that having a set wish list would be helpful by keeping us on track, but in the end, I think it caused us to overlook potentially cool stuff and prevented us from considering them.
There's always the next show to get it right!
