Saw and Bought at the Auction…

I spent a little time at Strickers Auction in Gardner Kansas last night. Here's some of the stuff I saw…

Rows of what my friend Tammy and I call "real people" stuff.

Vintage leather dye?

Cool bed in the background.. nice toys in the foreground.

I really wanted these vintage clothes. There were some really cool vintage wool coats in this bunch. I didn't wait around to see these sell.

Outdoor furniture?

Dudes talking

See this vintage girls bedroom set? I've seen BUNCHES go through this auction over the years, and not sell for $50.00. Last night, this bad boy sold for over $200.00

I wanted this chair.. but The Man doesn't think I need it.

OOOH I wanted these things too. (I didn't get them)

Saddle anyone?

I *did* get some of these cowboy boots

Nothing I want here.. but those big pots..

I wanted this thing…

Wanted these cute little pigs.

Hello.. Little Suzy Homemaker?

Jim Shore.. (didn't get it 🙁 )

Dishes

Jogging Stroller

Moon & Stars and USN silverware

Nuts anyone?

Frankoma and some dishes.

Here's what I got..

and the stroller.. I think the cat believes I'm going push him around… I'm not. I'll be pushing this kid around.

While At the Auction… I saw and bought…

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

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.

Some of the junk.. and the crowd

Ron selling a lot of cobalt blue glassware.

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…

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

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

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.

Need movies?

Cool old door. Check out that hardware!

#2 wanted this.

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. 🙁

Cute little ladies..

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 🙂
