Auction Stuff

Yesterday I went to an all day auction.
Always a good time. (even though the metal chairs are sooo uncomfortable)

It was hot inside, & crowded, standing room only per usual the first couple hours. And the smell of yummy food being cooked, specially the burgers & peppers & onions on the grill made me sooo hungry. (my water & granola bar were no help)



I was happy to get lots of pretties...Limoges, ironstone, Nippon, German & English pieces.

Great box lot of creamers, all kinds, all quite old & all but one in nice condition.
Loved the so shabby rose lamps! They will need very special shades.
The doll chair is already in the shop (at Just The Thing! in downtown Dover NH) But the old red wash prim baby potty chair just might stay here...great planter!

I got a box of country items, a couple awesome swirled enamelware coffee pots, an old granitware cup, a sweet mini enamel funnel.

The antique side table will go next to my bed. It is almost an inspiration piece for a decor change.

The framed print of the little girl is lovely. Really cool old textured frame too.

We've been lucky to have some gorgeous warm days lately. So yard work, getting out for walks & motorcyling have been occupying my time.
I have been remiss in not posting any pics of items I've brought into the shop.
Tomorrow there is the indoor antiques flea market in Dover that is always fun. But there's also an all day auction up in Epsom. So much stuff, so little time!
