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.

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…)

I've been a slacker.. I've been to auctions, taken pictures… but I haven't shared them.  Here's a few photos from last Monday's auction.

Where's Mr. Fitzhugh when you need him?

I've always wanted one of these.. to either put the degu or hermit crabs in.

Check out what someone did to a filing cabinet.. they made it shabby chic!

I loved this cute sewing box.

Table full of dishes and glassware…

Ugly Pig

Musical Instruments

This is the box I really wanted.. but was too lazy to stick around for it.

I did get some of this… Thanks to #2.. but we'll save that discussion for another blog.
