It was a genius idea really and a wonderful way to sell lots of plywood! My love for these developed when I stumbled upon an original Santa that was straight from the 1950's.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that these graced the lawns of many homes across America and there were other pieces that matched him!

We had a fun, final day at Brimfield today with a We had a fun, final day at Brimfield today with a few really neat finds but one very special one. There is SO MUCH jewelry at Brimfield, so naturally I wanted to bring home a few pieces for my girls. I stumbled upon a schnauzer pin. Since I’ve had three very special schnauzer pups in my life, I knew I had to have it. When I turned it over, I thought I was seeing things, my name, Courtney, was engraved on the back. 🥹🥹🥹 

Some treasures are just meant to be…..

Day 2 of Brimfield started with an epic box full o Day 2 of Brimfield started with an epic box full of vintage Christmas! 🎄 One of my items I really wanted to find was a Christmas department store sign and we found just the one! It was another great day, I’m looking forward to day 3 today! 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄

I’ve had lots of questions about prices and in my honest opinion I think if you take the time to shop around, you will find deals! There are some places that are a little more expensive, but most vendors are very willing to negotiate. ❤️🎄❤️🎄

Using the Autumn Abundance arrangements I was able to add the most adorable window “planters” to the schoolhouse. Paired with the amazing Autumn Abundance wreath and my trusty Sunset faux mums, that last year after year, I would say she is ready for crisp mornings and sweet autumn days. 🍂
