      Thanks! Before going to Brimfield, I watched all the TH-cam videos I could find. If other people are like me and like to do research before attending a market, I'm sure they appreciate our Brimfield content. 🙂

    My first thought about the situation is " there are mentally unstable people in the world'. His screaming at you could be a clue to his poor mental health. My second thought was that some of his merchandise could be stolen or otherwise acquired in a shady way. lol. You never know! Sounds like you handled it well.

    Hi, just watched this - love your videos- I’m a art restoration artist and I thought I’d give you a tip _ the nude with the loose canvas can be restored if the canvas back is open( not covered by paper) you can take a wet sponge and wipe the canvas to dampen it and as it dries the fibers will tighten up again- do not soak or allow water to penetrate through the canvas to the paint - moisten just enough to moisten the canvas fabric- take care

    Hi Megan! Watched your videos before you made this trip, and really like them. I'm one of the vendors who had something you liked. 😊 I don't remember you there or asking for a lower price. Most of us will consider offers/haggling AND offer discounts for buying multiple items. You are quite correct about the end of the shows being the best times to find deals on leftovers. Also, if you see something that seems pricy and the other vendors' items are not, it's usually because we paid more for those items. Anyway, thanks for coming and doing this video!

I don’t know if I approached you with an offer, I may have reached my budget and mental limit at that point in the day. Thank you for sharing your insider knowledge. I hope to see you in the future! ☺️

      That is my understanding as well. However, if you are featured in material used for advertising purposes, you should be compensated. All of that said, I try not to film people’s faces out of respect for their privacy.

    Is the brass coal shuttle a smaller version? I thought they were larger. I imagine some venders would appreciate one asking before filming, perhaps they aren’t aware of we couch potatoes who enjoy visiting from home😊. Most are probably more aware of social media. Thanks for sharing your visit to Brimfield, I’ve heard about it for years! Pottery and paintings are my favorite.

    • @MegantheWild
      @MegantheWild  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I think it’s a coal shuttle. I’ve seen them in different sizes. Many of the vendors had unmarked booths, I tried to show signs if I saw them so that you could look up the business if you liked their merch. You’re welcome, thanks for watching!

    It doesn't really matter if it hurts or helps his business; the point is, you resected his wishes to have you stop filming. That is what is important. Some people just don't like their world to be filmed. Some states allow for photos and video in public events and venues.

    Hello Megan. I enjoy your videos and little Coco. I believe your scullery bucket is a coal scuttle, perhaps English? Not sure if it’s a reproduction of an English one? Might be misshapen because it was used for coal. Could also be a reproduction of a Dutch bucket as it has a Delft style ceramic (not porcelain) handle. If it’s original for $10 that was a steal so well done. 👍 😊
