Hello friends and happy Sunday!
So tell me...
Do you love auctions?
Have you ever been?
I went to one on Saturday
and came home a very happy gal
Look who I get to introduce to my friend
Lovely..Lovely vintage dresser and mirror
Fabulous spindle back bench
I am so excited!!
Was awake half the night thinking
about colors and color mixes.
Annie Sloan chalk paint does that to a person
Like I said before....
it's an addiction!
Thank you Kathy Shumate Auctions!!
You Rock!
Until next time...be kind and stay creative.
I would love to go to an auction. Can't wait to see what you do.
ReplyDeleteWe were thinking about going to that auction but I chickened out..I need auction lessons ;-) love your finds..envious
ReplyDeleteOooh, I do love that bench! It just needs a few nice comfy cushions - and Annie of course!
ReplyDeleteNo Janet, I've never been to an auction. It sounds so fun, though a little frightening too! I wouldn't know how to bid or what to bid. You look like you got some great items! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE AUCTIONS!!! Cannot wait to see what you do to these treasures!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely pieces. I can't wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteLooks like there were some wonderful pieces at the auction Janet.....love that spindle back bench.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the ideas were whirling around preventing you from sleeping.
Love Auctions, gets the heart beating a little faster with the excitement of purchasing treasures.
Have been to a few poultry auctions in my time, but no ASCP needed for those purchases they're already beautiful, hehe.....
Look forward to seeing the makeovers.

Janet, it sounds like you and I should hold a workshop to give these folks some auction lessons. It was uber-great to hang out with you (and Donna) yesterday, and we all came away with some great stuff. I do love me a good auction, and Shumate's Auctions are wonderful ... Kathy is such a a sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteNow that you've shown everyone yours, I guess it's my turn to show mine ... that didn't come out right ... you know what I mean. :)

ReplyDeleteI love, love, love auctions. Auctions are the first place I look for items to update. Looks like you found some great items this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour posts of just purchased items, then what creative task you're going to do with them......well, in reading this...just makes my winter work wonderful!!! Can't wait to see what you've got planned for these pieces!!

ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day Janet! I do love auctions and it looks like you snagged some great finds! The dresser is my favorite. I can't wait to see how you dress it up:>)
ReplyDeleteI'm a great fan of auctions, and the adrenaline rush that goes with bidding!
ReplyDeleteLoving the bench.
I love auction.I just have to watch my self that I don't over bid. I hate to lose a item I like.I am now following you on Linky Follower. I would love it if you followed me back. I always enjoy meeting new Bloggers.
ReplyDeleteMy hand is raised - although, I never find too many in our area. Found you via the Linky hop and have become your newest follower. Hope you have a chance to visit and perhaps follow me back.
ReplyDeleteJanet...Thanks for the kind words, I knew some of those pieces were just right for you.
ReplyDeleteOh, the bench...be still my heart!!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful finds--I can completely understand your excitement! Whenever I'm in a furniture-painting mood, I definitely hit the auctions first. AuctionZip.com is fantastic for previewing auctions and I've gotten some great deals on really nice furniture. Plus, I gotta admit, I love the thrill of bidding! :)
ReplyDeleteNever been to an auction. Would love to go. But, I'm swooning over the bench. I've been hunting one, but have not had any luck. Anyhoo, hope you have a great evening. And, yes, I'm a month behind in my blog reading. lol. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
