saturday's auction finds.

we were able to score a sweet batch of loot from an auction on saturday. i say "we" loosely. brent went to the auction. i stayed home to conquer my to do list (i did it!).

mmm, lights with multiple heads. i'm a big fan. what is it about 2 headed desk lamps that just get me to love them? I think it's the (scholarly and romantic) idea of writing (ok, tyyyyping) in the wee hours of the moring at a desk with the only light source being a desk lamp. maybe one light could shine on the wall for a warm glow and one could shine on your keyboard. maybe i need more coffee. no?

 

it never ceases to amaze me when brent comes home (or i find one for that matter) with a typewriter table/cart. until what...2 years ago or so, i don't ever remember seeing them in use, in stores, in old pictures...anywhere. now, it's like theeeeey find uuuuus. *cue scary music*

this trunk is awe...wait for it...some! not a superb photo here - but imagine thee warm cookies out of the oven -- that's about what it's like to see this beauty, we cleaned/took photos of it to list, so it should be in our shop sometime this week. and the stuffs-n-suches on the right? local mish mash. brent is from staplehurst...and the sign is now in his office. the wee little rain gauge is from a furniture store Brents dad worked at eons ago.

 

look. at. that. trash. can. on. the. left. holy corn stalks, this beauty has hardly a mark on it. inside and out, it's beautiful and bright and cleeeeean. we like clean. on the left, cameraaaaaahhhhhhs. all sorts. including a movie camera. love. and a brown kitchen cart. i wish i had room to keep a kitchen cart. (making frown face).

(this moment would be ruined with words - so, shuuush....we are going to enjoy the beautiful sight that is the stool above.)

and last, but most absolutely not least, the goodie I get to keep. totally stoked about it. at first we thought it was too new to be old (ha...read that last part again). but upon further investigation, we do think it's old --just really, really well made-- but, the damage (me loving it) is done. it will not be sold anytime soon. it is already in place in our dining room.

and, there you have it. brents great scores for the day. we paid more than we normally would for a few of these items, but know they are really great pieces and won't sit on them for too long before we reSell.

tomorrow, my small, meager (but mighty?) little pile-o-finds at the thrift store this past week. I think I may need a week off from there...it's (quite literally) been same shtuff different week. i may set my sights on another thrift store i haven't been to in a bit...getting excited just thinking about it.

hookin up with thrift share monday. yeah buddy.
