Thanks for stopping by my blog. It feels great to get a comment. I love auctions! I go to one locally all the time. Your heart does race a little when you are bidding. I have been guilty of bidding against myself due to my confusion. Good thing the auctioneer was so nice and jovial about it. If you frequent the same auction house, you get to know who are vendors that are buying for their businesses. I have a couple of vendors that always give me advice on what I'm buying. It's great!

I love those planters, and what an amazing deal you got on them! And that auction sure had alot of great things. I've never ever been to one, but I keep reading about all the great things other bloggers find. I'll have to check one out one of these days, and I'll probably have to trick my husband into going, just like you did!
Happy First Day of Summer!

I have never been to real auction either...I would probably get nervous and overbid on everything. It would be fun though. Love the urns...and they are a great buy!

Great deal on those expensive urns. Sorry you missed out on getting anything at the auction. Better luck next time 🙂

Oh great stuff!!!! I too am afraid to even go to an auction....I wouldn't know what to do and would end up buying a blow torch for $400 when I was aiming for a pot for $1.
They really had some good lookin' junk!!

That looks like a fun sale! I'm sure with a bit of practice you'll be bidding up there with the rest of them - and winning!

Thanks for visiting! How exciting to attend such a cool auction! I wish I could have gone with you. Did the auctioneer talk super fast? 🙂

Major score on the urns! I bought a big urn at an estate sale a few years ago for only $12.00 and I thought that was good:)

I've never done auctions, they scare me too much....LOL! I might find myself bidding way too much and not even know I'm bidding (because I scratched my nose or something).

Hi! Thanks for the sweet comments! Love your urns! That was a a crazy good deal on those! I know what you mean about auctions. I think they are fun but don't have the guts to participate. Many moons ago, I have bid and won something I wish I didn't spend the money on but got caught up in it. You really have to know not only what something is worth but what it is worth to you and be able to stick to that thought. Sounds like you made the right decisions at the right time to me!

The auction thing would scare me too. But what a great deal on the urns. That was great find! They will look great filled and overflowing. Put styrofoam peanuts in the bottom to take up space or an upside down pot. Won't take as much potting soil and will be lighter in weight.
