~*Auction Fun*~

Again! Yippee!

Hello Friends! Yesterday Tony & I went to another estate auction. My Mother-in-law and Father-in-law were there also. It was great fun and we brought home a few new treasures. The building was cold (no heat), but time spend outside was enjoyable with some awesome sunshine.

We needed more seating in our living room, but weren't in a position to shop at a furniture store to get more. Plus, vintage and old is always good for me! We picked up this beautiful chair yesterday. A little vacuuming and upholstery cleaner... and it is perfect (a little wear is alright with me). It blends very well with our other chair and sofa too...

This may be my new 'stitching' spot! It is quite comfy!


The details in the wood trim are just beautiful.


We didn't buy a whole lot. Tony found a new dolly for the garage... I didn't take a picture of that. Here are the other new treasures scored...

A vintage, child's watering can... red is my favorite color!


And an old shoe repair... perfectly prim decor...

We followed up the auction with lunch out and a few errands. I was thrilled to get home to clean house.... and re~arrange the living room for our new chair.

Wishing you warm smiles...

Betty

    Hi Betty!
    I love your chair...it looks fit for a stitching queen! the woodwork is beautiful too.
    I favor the red watering can though...anything red, and for the garden works for me, but together it is So pretty!
    thanks for sharing with us ~

    Oh, now this is pretty! And the watering can is a very lucky find. I've never seen a child's size.

    I love that vintage chair. I've had a couple over the years. I have one left that I use as my spinning chair. They don't make furniture like they used to!
    Hugs,

    Gorgeous chair--that carving on it is beautiful!! I'm with you--vintage is ALWAYS better--look how much character it has!! My dad had a complete set of iron shoe lasts--with the stand AND wooden box--how I wish I had asked for it before he sent it to auction!!--Jan

    Love your finds.. I think Estate sales/auctions are fun to go to even if you don't find anything to bring home.. It is the thrill of the hunt.

    what a great addition to your home Betty! I had to giggle when I saw the comment of Tony buying himself a new "dolly". I kept thinking of the ones you make lol.
