Auction Finds

I do not like to go away and have things unfinished.  So, I am packed and ready to go, but there is one bit of unfinished business.  I had planned to take really beautiful and staged pictures of the finds I had at auction and a yard sale last week.  But time just got away and weather did not permit.  So that it doesn’t go unshared, I thought I would quickly show you some very unstaged pictures, taken with a flash with my point and shoot because my good camera is already packed.  So here you go…

This bowl is actually for my mother-in-law, she has a lot of pieces to this collection.  I am thinking of trying to make a centerpiece out of it for her.

I found another box of some fun pewter pieces.

Not my style, but I have a really fun idea for this little house.

Some hardware and handles and quite a bit of silver plate which I have some more fun ideas for…

This jewelry is mostly junk, but there is actually some really cool stuff in there that with a little tweaking, I might actually wear.  Stay tuned..Also, there as some great clips that they referred to as belt buckles but I think they might actually be for scarves.  I am thinking there might be some ornament projects in there…  And then a box of old books.

4 great old shutters…

The fan and enamelware teapot…

A great old clock that she says still works but I have not tried yet.

Three nice smaller sized washboards.

I always forget what those wooden things are called and what I thought was a nice old silver plate tray. Funny thing is it says Pottery Barn on the back.

A fun sign and a small ladder.

A nice small chest that just needs some hardware change-ups.

That is the group, all in all a pretty good week of treasure hunting. 

I can’t even believe I am saying this, but I am off to Paris!  Bon Jour!
