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!

The Once a Month Garage Sale Is Here!!!!

This is the first of several once a month garage sales that Margo and I will be doing during the summer. If there is anything you are interested in just email me and I will let you know how much the shipping is and we can work out the details.

Happy Shopping!

Some old decorative pieces from a piece of furniture that couldn't be saved. There are 6 pieces total. The price is $7

This is an old round frame, it is a smaller size, which is approximately 9" x 12". There is no glass just the frame. There are some chips in the paint but the frame itself is in tack.

The price is $9.00 SOLD

This is some type of old gauge. It says Sioux City, Iowa on it. I love gauges, this one is priced at $8.00

One of those pokey things that hung on the wall to keep track of the receipts for the day in an old general store. The price is $7.00.

Here are some old consumer stamps, you use to save them and fill up a book then you could cash in the books for merchandise. We need some of these now, with our grocery bill, we could save tons of stamps. Th price for all three books is $4.00

This is a thingy-ma-jig. Not really sure what it was but I bet it can be something else now. Let your creative juices flow. Maybe part of an old lamp? It is approximately 9" tall and the price is $5.00.

This is one of those cool old metal jewelry boxes. It use to have velvet lining but that is gone but the embossing on the outside is still beautiful.

The hinge has a wire through it instead of a rod but it works just as well.

Isn't it pretty, would look great in someones collection. It has a great patina too, love that turq color. The price is $8.00.

A set of four planter plates, these are small one though, the diameter of these is only 5" across. Another great re purpose project. The price is $5.00 for all.

A donkey and wagon pottery vase. It is great shape, no chips or cracks. The price is $7.00.

Finally, the "D" for done, or dikkering, or delighted or anything else you can think of. The letter is about 5" deep, 8" wide and 12" tall. The price of the "D" is $10.00.

That's the garage sale for this month. Thanks for checking it out and have a great weekend!

Don't' forget to go over to Margo's blog and check out her garage sale items this weekend too.

Harms Antiques Way

I discovered another place on my way to my class reunion on Saturday. Harms Antique Way... they have been in business for over 10 years, both Alan and Sally have full-time regular jobs, but also run this antique business on the side.

They have the cutest little store front on Main Street of Wisner, Nebraska. There were three things sitting in front of the shop that made me turn around. I will show you what they were at the end of this story.....

They have nice furniture as you enter the shop, but don't let this deter you from what in the next three rooms, upstairs and downstairs.

Meet Sally, she is the co-owner of Harms Antique Way. She was very helpful and friendly too.

We found this dummy riding his bike on the table, we named him Lewis, don't you think he looks like a Lewis?

This is one of the other rooms full of junk.......

I loved this cupboard, I was driving my car that day, so may have to return with the truck to pick this up.

Wow, even more....!!!

Another room full of junk....let me tell you there is anything from A to Z here...

Here is the first thing that made me turn around......

the second thing........

And the third, this is the sweetest little wagon, just had to have it.

They all fit in the trunk of my car and off we went to discover the next junk store.

Harms Antique Way is open by appointment only for now. There son is returning for the summer and will be operating the shop next week. The phone number is 402-529-3306 if you would like to check their hours before heading out. I give this shop a "10", prices were reasonable, merchandise organized, and friendly people. I definitely will be stopping again soon.

Memorial Day

In Memory of my dad, whom I miss dearly.... this cemetery was started by the German immigrants who had settled in this area, which is just north of Omaha, Nebraska. It is where all of my ancestors are buried.....

My father......

My grandfather.....

My grandmother, both of whom are my dad's parents.......

My great-grandparents, whom are my dad's dad's parents......

I have watched this angel since I was a child going to the cemetery on Memorial Day, isn't she beautiful, she guards everyone there.
