Another Auction --- This One Was Better Than The Last One!!!!!

Early Sunday morning I woke everyone up, made breakfast and informed them we were going to an auction, so anyone going must get ready to go so we could head out. It was a short drive only 45 minutes from home but the parking was 1/2 mile away from the auction because there were so many people there already! You could hardly get up to the stuff they were auctioning to see what it was they were selling.

Tables and tables of misc items from a to z.......

Again, another auction with beds, which looked similar to the last auction. These were really nice iron beds, very ornate.

Old vintage strings of lights.....

Of course when the auction started it was close to chow time for the boys so they found the food wagon and a comfortable place to have dinner.

There was even stuff in the three car garage.....

Meet Tom and Lavina, they found a place to share conversation and put their feet up while they were at the auction.....


A cute "Tip and Mitten book.....

An old vintage Pepsi serving tray......

Now I was hungry, so I went to the food wagon and ordered a tea and a chili dog, I have never seen a chili dog with this much chili on it for $2... WOW!!!!

A really cute old vintage globe calling my name.......

More tables of "stuff"......

This lady had more white and cream wicker that I had seen in a long time all in one place and it was vintage and perfect!!!

More white merchandise.........

People had used some of the furniture to rest on while waiting for the auctioneers to sell what they had their eye on, this way they would know if they really liked it and if it was comfortable.

Buyers.......



A cute little side stand......

The beds.......

Now doesn't this look interesting? Yeah, it was!!! Just as I thought the sale was over my husband said they had a building out back that was full of junk that they would be auctioning off, so I ran to the back 40 and low and behold there was heaven!!! I ended up buying this whole half of the building for one single bid!!! Now there are many things you can't see that are in this building, we made two trips to get it all home. Wait till you see what I got out of this barn!!!

Maybe this will spark some interest....... let's just say there was a whole house worth of architecture stashed in this shed.

It rained on and off all day long but nothing was going to stop the auctioneers or the junkers from buying their treasures to take home with them.

I will post later some of the things that came out of the barn...the only down fall was there must have been an inch of dust on top of everything, so you can imagine how much washing I have been doing the past couple of days, I think I have bubbles coming out of my ears but it will all be worth it in the end!
