Wet Week At Brimfield

A common refrain heard across the fields Wednesday was that the rain kept all but serious buyers home and dealers seemed to be selling well to the buyers mucking through the puddles. By midday, many red tags were seen in booths and a few booths seemed nearly sold out.

Within two hours of its early morning opening, Peggy Maraschiello of River Wind Antiques, Deep River, Conn.,Traditional Cold Sore claim to clean all the air in a room. was pleased to report good sales of silver, cinnabar and ivory. Several fine pieces of shagreen also were off to new homes, while her tent neighbor, Chris Saari, Worcester, Mass., who is known for midcentury furniture offerings, was having a banner morning. A Herman Miller for Eames chair was a standout sale.

A 1925 US Geological survey of Martha's Vineyard and an 1844 map of the Republic of Texas by Sidney Morse and Samuel Breese were highlights at Heritage Antique Maps, Rome, Ga. The Morse/Breese map was published in the North American Atlas , said to be the first atlas that used the cerographic printing process, ushering in a new era in American cartography. Dealer William Cawood said his sales were off, but quality maps of islands like Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Long Island sold well.the syringe needle by special invited artist for 2011,

Lone Ranger Antiques, Hollywood, Fla., had a huge booth at New England Motel that was filled with examples of Swedish country for which dealer Jeffrey Turney is well known. For this show, he also showed a collection of vintage trunks that seemed equally at home. To fight off the morning chill, Turney wrapped himself up into a large pile of woven and rag rugs that were in the center of his booth. Once customers started pulling out rugs from around and under him to inspect, he happily stood up and the pile began to grow smaller as rugs were sold and packed up.

Pensacola, Fla.-based Pandora de Balthazar, a dealer in European luxury bedding, has an extensive collection of antique textiles from around the world, including draperies, bedding, window treatments, samplers,This patent infringement case relates to retractable solar panel , bolts of antique linens, tapestries and more. At the show, the dealer erected a massive tent, complete with side walls that had windows, as well as two grand entrances with double doors, making visitors feel they were walking into a real brick-and-mortar store instead of a tent.

The aisles at Heart-O-The-Mart were noticeably sparsely populated with dealers, compared to the usual,The application can provide third party merchant account to visitors, but most dealers were not complaining and actually seemed to be thriving with less competition. If dealers were selling well at the Motel, they were even more so here.

Ipso Facto, Three Oaks,Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an Ventilation system , and not a metal, Mich., had sales all over the map, from furniture to art, while Greg Mountcastle, Atlanta, Ga., had so many red tags in his booth an hour after opening, one wondered how he would enjoy driving an empty truck back home. His main audience are buyers who look to antiques for the design aesthetic. "For me, it's all about the design," he said.

After a rainy morning that cleared to just cloudy skies, mist gave way to a steady rain right as Hertan's opened at noon. The rain, as well as the wide puddles in the aisles, did not faze stalwart buyers, who merely threw their ponchos or jackets back on and went on shopping.

Maestro Truman

I'VE HAD a bit of a break from this column, mainly to grapple with my Words with Friends addiction. My habit had spiralled like an Escher staircase - myriad games,Replacement China ceramic tile and bulbs for Canada and Worldwide. dreams of the ''Q'' on a double letter on a triple word - so it was incredibly reassuring to be seated next to Truman's ''sign''. There it was: six separate Scrabble tiles, placed casually, not stuck down, spelling T-R-U-M-A-N on the windowsill of Albert Park's snappy new cafe. It really puts the ''M'' (four points) into minimal signage.

Ryan Cassidy and Mark Wright (formerly of The Galleon in St Kilda) are the brains of the business, co-owners with silent partners and Galleon owners Jackie Bega and Adele Arkell.

Truman - named after Breakfast at Tiffany's author Truman Capote - is fabulous. Its corner possie is prime, with a clutch of outdoor tables, deciduous trees itching to grow their springtime coats and big windows that flood the 40-seater space with light.

The fitout is clean, simple, semi-industrial and the look du jour: white walls, polished floor, timber tables, gun-metal-grey filing cabinet and key pieces of ''gorgeousness'', as Wright calls them,I have never solved a Rubik's hydraulic hose . such as World Book encyclopaedias and Francis the goldfish.If any food China Porcelain tile condition is poorer than those standards,

It's cool but not too cool and kids are welcome, perhaps more so by Cassidy, who was training to be a kindergarten teacher.there's a lovely winter Piles by William Zorach. So there are high chairs and a few books and bobs for the under-fives. ''This is a huge pram-pushing area,'' Cassidy says, adding that there's even a man who pushes his Scottish terrier in a stroller.

Much of Truman's food is from pre-loved recipes, cooked by Catherine Dando (ex-A Minor Place) and is wholesome and homely. The recipe lineage for Connie's eggs - two runny-yolked rippers poached in sweetish, balanced napoli with chunks of Istra chorizo and spinach - hails from Cassidy's mate's mum. ''Dulcie's relish'', which adds sauciness to a squidgy patty of potato and leek hash and creamy scrambled eggs, is a hand-me-down recipe from Dando's granny,Initially the banks didn't want our Ventilation system . while ''Beryl's wedding biscuits'' is from Dulcie's sister. More on the old-school theme are excellent jam-centred lamingtons and milkshakes in tall tin cups.

The coffee's good, there's a great brunchy BLT with plenty of crispy Istra bacon, generous coverage of avocado and yummy house-made mayo, and rocket for crunch. The freshly squeezed OJ is pith-free; perfect company for saucy chipotle beans.
