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 🙂

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

(just kidding on the tagging…)

Monday night I went to one of my favorite places… Strickers Auction in Gardner Kansas.

The red arrows are things I “won”.  Boxes of old linens, a green tote of papers.

This is Jerry Stricker.. he’s a pretty cool guy.. and his

knowledge of stuff is unbelievable!

These arrows show more stuff I bought 🙂  The red arrows show some

silver plate and sterling flatware.  The green arrows show vintage linens,

Franciscan dinnerware, and the farthest arrow away is vintage clothing..

super cool vintage clothing I might add.. that my friend Bettye would love.

After buying outside.. we moved inside.  Here’s Ron Stricker (in the cowboy hat)

auctioning off a few baskets.

I wanted this lamp pretty bad.. but it sold for over $100.00.

I wanted these beaded flowers.. but I just couldn’t pay what everyone else

was paying for these…

I did get these Johnson Brothers Transferware dishes 🙂

Old pins, bakelite jewelry and a cigar box of men’s jewelry.  It will take me

awhile to go through this jewelry..
