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 🙂
Silverware.. stoneware bowl.. and some spray paint for all that tagging I like to do!
(just kidding on the tagging…)
Jewelry, Vintage Linens, Dishes and Lamps.. Oh MY!
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..
