While At the Auction… I saw and bought…

Last night I hung out at Strickers Auction…  here's what I saw…

moon and stars cookie jar

Moon and Stars Jardinaire…sold for 35.00 with the bowl underneath.

Old games.. and doll furniture

Funny picture.. men checking out rhinestone jewelry.  ** a little note.  I can't EVER buy rhinestone jewelry here because it goes pretty high.

strickers auction

Some of the junk.. and the crowd

Ron Stricker, Cobalt blue glassware, auctions, gardner, Kansas

Ron selling a lot of cobalt blue glassware.

cherry mash, toliet seat, rare things, bathroom items

Here's something you don't see everyday… A Cherry Mash toilet seat.  I have no idea how this faded…(I'm not sure I want to know either)  but I bet it would have been a pretty good seller on eBay.

Inside the auction…

fancy vintage fan, fan, beautiful victorian

OoooF I love this fan.  (I didn't buy it.)

star wars figures in case

I wanted this.. I was inside when it sold.. and forgot to tell #2 to bid on it.

needlepoint, orange vintage cake plate

I love needlepoint.. this was a crate full of it.. and that orange metal lunch pan is pretty awesome too.  I won this crate.. along with all of this:

I'm not even sure what all this stuff is… but it's mine now.

old film canister

Need movies?

cool, old skinny door, with great hardware

Cool old door.  Check out that hardware!

vintage plane mobile

#2 wanted this.

refridgerator, stainless steel, at the auction

They had these 2 new stainless steel fridges.  The Man came to the auction just to bid on these.  They went WAY to high.. almost retail for them. 🙁

a bunch of head vases, head vase, old ladies head vases

Cute little ladies..

a christmas story, major award

It's a Major Award! (what movie is that from?)

Four Shabby Chic white crackle-y chairs..

I wanted this.. It's such a cool hand made sink…

Here's what I bought

Auction Buys…

More loot..

Hello shabby new dining room chairs… some of you might be counting only 4 chairs and realize there are 8 in my family.  You would be right.. BUT I like to mix my furniture up a bit.. and these will do that nicely 🙂

Silverware.. stoneware bowl.. and some spray paint for all that tagging I like to do!

(just kidding on the tagging…)

 

I’m In Love with a Front Door.. is this possible?

I went to my mother-in-law’s house this weekend… and fell in love with her front door. Can you fall in love with a front door?

Do you love this hanging basket?

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen my front lawn.. but it doesn’t look like this.

I wish her son (The Man) had this kind of green thumb 🙂

Do you think she would EVER refer to her son as “The Man”? I’ll have to ask her that some day. I wonder what The Man’s two younger brothers would be called? But let’s get back to my love…

Here’s what I fell in love with…

OO–OH how I would like for my front porch to be this inviting..

This makes me sigh.. I’m in love with a front door, and I don’t care who knows.
