Auction Hunters

If you’re not completely appalled at my behavior as a parent and are still reading this blog – thank you!  😉

This past Saturday, we were all so excited that it was supposed to be in the 60’s, so we had made plans to work in the barn and on the chicken house.  We got dressed to go out and the stinkin’ wind about blew us over.  We worked for a bit and then decided to do something a little more fun (and a little less windy).

There was an antique auction about 45 miles from here so we decided to hit the road!  One of the ladies who had a booth in the Ogallala Antique Store decided to sell her collection so we thought we might find some fun things.   We were right!

I found this really fun quilt for one of the guest rooms.  This picture does not do it justice – you’ll have to check it out in person…

DSCF1140I found some more vintage Fiestaware to add to my little collection…

DSCF1142 DSCF1145I fell in love with these hens on nests.  They open up and you can put a little something inside…

DSCF1146I LOVE this big, old metal bowl.  My fruit is going to look fab in it…

DSCF1144We scored Saywer some vintage dolls and doll furniture for her dollhouse…

We found some old pie pans and some little cast iron skillets, which Sawyer immediately called dibs on for her outdoor playhouse…

DSCF1098 DSCF1097The kids did so well at the auction and were so patient and obedient.  Sawyer made friends with a little boy named Travis and they had fun pushing Wryder in the stroller all over the fairgrounds, which he enjoyed as well.

I’m not sure I can pick a favorite…what’s yours?
