An Evening at the Auction

I went to an auction in Wellsville last night.  Here’s my evening in photos..

Brandon Otto auctions, wellsville, kansas, eBay Queen

Here’s an overview of the stuff before the auction started. Do you see the

red arrow?  That’s #2  checking the place out.

Here he’s using the phone to see if we should buy this or that..

They had lots of jewelry, but most of it was damaged or missing

rhinestones.  Here’s what I did bought!

I bought this flat because of  the leather wallets.  Some guy wanted to buy

a couple of them from me while I was paying.. but I said no..

I bought the green Tonka to display in my kitchen with my other green

stuff… but everyone thinks I should sell it.  Silver measuring cup

is mine 🙂

Here’s an overview.

Bavaria covered dish and some Nippon cups and saucers.

I did get my plate I wanted!  Do you see the milk glass pendant light?  It’s old

and pretty cool.  The linens are for me too.

Auction Time…

I WANT THIS… BAD..

I’m pretty excited.. I’ll be headed to an auction this evening.  If you like auctions.. (like I like auctions).. you’ll want to know what they will be selling..

Sometimes We Get a Second Chance… to Blow Some Stuff Up!

fireworks, explosion, otttawa ks

We were rained out on Sunday (see HERE).. but Monday night was

perfect night to blow a few things up.  We didn’t get to go to my

friend Tammy’s, but the city of Ottawa had a “Blow Up Make Up” party.

What’s a party without a little drama?  #4 was not happy about something..

I think some one took his chair..

By the looks of this picture #5 had something to do with it.

Maybe it was this kid.. he’s not related to me.. but he should be 😉

OH.. are you and your family doing that Volkswagen “punch” thing?

If you are here’s a free one for you.. Silver one!

It was starting to get dark.. and we broke out the glow sticks.

This kid is using his for a halo.. 🙂

They can also be used as hair sticks..

Just in case you were wondering.. #4 perked up after the glow sticks

came out.

Happy Fourth of July!
