I am talking about the kind of sale where you wake up early to rummage around old sheds (and as you can tell from the photo, the light is still fuzzy along with my brain)
Where you know that treasures lurk inside old barns.
that among the stacked furniture there is a jewel.
and you can't wait to raise your hand or nod your head
because there is nothing more exciting than being the winning bidder. Yep!! Auctions and estate sales. My favorite kind.
So let the bidding begin because I've got my sunscreen on, my cart to lug my treasures, and I'm really good at giving you the evil eye when you are bidding against me.
Happy treasure hunting! Hope you come home with some great stuff. May you be the best bidder at a decent price.
ReplyDeletesounds like a fun day to me!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I used to go to a lot of auctions. It really is a fun thing to do.
ReplyDeleteThe sign is typical-"No Outlet." I thought no, I'd rather have a flea market or yard sale than an outlet mall anyday of the week:)
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteI have never done an auction but it sounds like a lot of fun. Good luck.

Sounds like so much fun! Hope you find some new treasures.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite ways to spend a day! Sometimes I get a little carried away though . . .
ReplyDeleteI love auctions and estate sales! I particularly like auctions where they'll toss all kinds of stuff in a box and auction it off all at once. Those usually go cheaply and it's like a surprise package of junk! Around here, however, it can really competitive, with dealers having more to spend than me and bidding on everything. Still, if I have my eye on something, I wait and swoop in with a bid just before the sale is finalized. It usually throws other bidders off guard and I get the goodie LOL! Have fun! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Laura :)
