summer's end
Friday and Saturday nights this weekend really spoke to the foodies in us. We dined in style at both 33 and then at Mantra. Mmmmm. Mantra is a definite recommend. Interesting, innovative food and the atmosphere is delightfully modern and stylish.
Labor day is going to be a quiet one for us, with an evening with friends on Friday night and then me hoping that the beach will be in order at least one of the subsequent weekend days! I want one more day at Crane's before the season ends!
But what I'm really looking forward to is Brimfield, which is September 7-12 this year. If you live in New England and love antiques, this is the place for you. Every kind of antique you can imagine...linens, dishes, furniture, sports equipment, posters, jewelry, art, ephemera, and on and on! We're going to take off Friday the 10th and head on down to see what we can find. In past years we found our dining room table, our really nice wire plant stand on the porch, jewelry
and this wonderful antique egg print for our kitchen:
I need a dresser, so we'll be on the lookout for a good bargain. I'll also have the chance to look for antique postcards of Seattle and Boston. My collection is really growing these days.
After Brimfield, back to the Berkshires to spend time with Joe's family, who are the most wonderful people in the world. I really love the Berkshires, and it's been too long since we've been back. We didn't make it at all this summer, even though I vowed I would finally see a concert at Tanglewood. Next year.
