The first really good auction of the year was last Saturday. I find I'm a bit over zealous these first few auctions...just so anxious to buy something! This day I walked out with 4 box lots and two individual buys. I probably should have passed on two of the boxes and worst of all, I forgot to bid on a bushel basket that had sewing notions on the bottom!!! I can't rely on my memory when it comes to box lots, I think I need to start taking notes!!! Anyway, here they are....first buys auction buys of the year.This is the "after" picture on my counter. "After" I threw out the really atrocious stuff!
The good stuff...Shiny Brites!
A little chartreuse Pyrex with the label still in tact.
A Jadeite dish.
This cute cardinal figurine. Made in Japan.
A Whitman's chocolate tin.
A fair ribbon. Hawkeye Angus Association Senior Champion Bull.
My individual buys were this patriot sheet music for $1.
Also, two McCoy flower pots.
On the way home I stopped at a home to look at some vintage picnic baskets listed on Craigslist. These babies were $5 each. That capped a perfect day!
So, I haven't showed you everything I bought. If you want to get a really good look, click on that first picture, most everything is shown. I did keep a few things aside for posts this week. Yep, there I said it, look for more posts this week!!!

I like what you found at the auction. I have never been an auction shopper but I always thought they sounded like fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the Shiny Brites, the candy tin and the fair ribbon and the picnic baskets for $5.00 apiece were a fabulous buy.
Looking forward to more posts!

I used to go to auctions and never had the kind of luck you had here! I am especially loving the jadeite dish and the candy box (and the picnic baskets!). :-) Have a great weekend! -amy
ReplyDeleteWell, it's official. You and I could never, ever go shopping together! We like the same things! Those McCoy pots, and that sheet music! And Ohmygoodnes, those picnic baskets. I can't stop looking at them. $5 each!!! I think if I had a day like that, I would be delirious! And there's more???
ReplyDeleteSo what was the stuff you got rid of? I always think seeing the junky stuff is as interesting as the keep stuff. LOL
ReplyDeleteI would love to tag along with you on these auctions - great stuff! The jadeite dish is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteOh, man! I'm tryin' real hard not to be covetous ;)
