Though I need to figure out how to keep all the appliques from falling off. A hundred years old cabinet+two toddlers=disaster. I live 20 mins from Brimfield and I go two to three times a year. I didn't go last weekend but I will definitely make it there at least once this summer. It is a great eye candy place but everything is very expensive.
