Auction Envy

I’ve posted before about auctions that I’ve gone to with my parents.
Rob Sage offers great finds at every turn. Here are some items from an upcoming auction that are so very vintage!

Enamel Sign

Irresistible!

I think this would be such a fun gift for my son.

This is a lovely book case with a glass door and claw feet!

These next photos are from previous auctions and some stellar items that sold.

A beautiful condition walnut dresser with moustache handles.

Wow, the price was steep for this filing cabinet, but it has so much
character I LOVE IT!

I could see this being spray painted white! Amazing looking.

The shape and design of this is amazing! And the oval mirror is wow!

A day at the Auction

Mom and I went to this auction a few weekends back. There were lots of goodies to check out and lots of people to bid on items. My mom and I showed up around 9:45 and stayed till 2:00. I didn't take home anything...it's hard to know what kind of room I will have when we move. But my mom scored 2 pieces of lovely furniture, the hutch at the bottom of the original post and another lovely, seen here at the end of this post.

I just LOVED this white iron bed. It only went for $50! 

I kept saying to my mom, if only I had a little girl. 

The quilt was beautiful too.

This is called pink depression glass. So pretty. 

Loved this mirror stand...

I don't know how much this set when for (plates/cups/saucers/cream/sugar) but it was so pretty. 

This is the corner shelf that my mom bought. Such great condition!

Auction Sales

Have you ever been to one? The thrill of the hunt, the competitive edge when you see someone raising their number at an item you’ve already chosen a spot for in your home! Oh the rush of the win! How exciting!

Well, not really, but it is fun if you get a good deal on an item that you find useful and, in my mom’s case, fixable and ready for resale! Check out these items from Rob Sage Auctions that I would love to bid on. Auction starts at 10am, Saturday March 27th. Click HERE for more details.

Great boxes for plant stands or other random storage items.

Shabby pie shelf, to be hung above a desk and display pretty item on the shelves.

An old drink dispenser. I LOVE Nestea Iced Tea!

A plain old wash table, waiting to be painted and fitted with a sink.
Perfect for that small main floor bathroom.

Looks like a good piece for an entrance.

Replace the front panels with some frosted glass!
