Today I went to an auction sale.
A friend was selling all her worldly goods and relocating.
I knew she had some really nice stuff ~ and we have alot of the same tastes.
Didn't think I would be able to afford much, but thought I'd go and support.
Boy, was I wrong.
Not sure if it was the weather. Or that the Relay for Life was happening a block away. Or everyone thought things would sell high. Or what...
It was almost sad how low things went.
So low, that I couldn't leave them go for what they did.
Here's a few pics of the big stuff I brought home.
Fainting couch - this belonged to her great great grandmother... we may have a wild hair and upholster it in spotted cow hide?
This dresser is gonna be mine! I paid 70$ for it...
A little hall table/desk...
A cast iron bedstead...
Daughter Lexi has claimed this $25 steal.
This dresser needs a little work, but it was almost free....
Dillon fell in love with this one and talked me into paying a little more than I would have liked to. :)
Another almost free project.
Windows - I have some of the glass pieces. Can't wait to play with these!
Another favorite of Dillon's. A little bedside table.
A BIG old cool box! Not sure if it's a storage chest, blanket chest, or what. Would you believe the sides and tops are wide plank pieces of wood? Huge pieces of wood... I stole this for 10$ - I'm gonna be keeping this, lol.
A fun little tramp art table that no one else seemed to appreciate. I may see if I can find a home for it that thinks it's as cool as I do.
All this, plus a pickup load of boxes of household and decorate items gives me this....
A full garage :(
All for now. I need to go digest this big piece of fun that I've bitten off!
