Does this (one of many in the home!) interior lighting detail give you an idea of what was to be expected at this Estate Auction. Yes, it was a good one. Yes, I attended. Yes, I did actually buy something. Yes, I still Hate auctions.
Thank GOD we have a spare bedroom...and laundry room...and some room in the garage...and under the bed, for all the Extra Barware! One of these days I'll go through all of it and decide what stays and what goes.
This'll be on my ads soon. I'm just to busy right now. Maybe by Sunday I'll have my ads updated. Anyway, did I mention...Cards Win! Cards Win! Oh, right...I did. Also of note, we are having a Halloween Party (no costumes or anything like that) tomorrow night. Inspired by ModFruGal, I've put together a nice little Halloween play list of ghoulish songs for the party.
Mr. Mod ain't no Sports Fan but that was a great series! Great game Texas. For any visiting fans, I hope you enjoyed St. Louis and had fun at the games.
While I was at the Belleville estate sale last weekend I kept passing by this box of dishes without giving it a second glance. I was busy buying up the goodies and then taking pics of the joint. But then I stopped long enough to notice that even though I'm not much into the mustard yellow color there was a little something else about this box-o-dishes that didn't quite add up and maybe I had better take a closer look.
This was an unexpected purchase Saturday afternoon. We had hit a few estate sales already that morning but our friend Illuminate had texted me that we Must come check out the big "mid century" estate auction that she had been at since mid morning. I'm still stinging from the previous Thursday auction so I was hesitant but decided to just stop by to hang out.
I passed through the front door, glanced up the stairs and this is what I spotted. Hmmm...could it be another signed Curtis Jere? I trotted up the stairs to find out. Guess what...
Even the Tag is cool! "Galaxy Designs"! Sparkley Starbursts! Awesome Retro Font. It's got it all. Oh oh...the sofa and chair ain't too shabby either. Check it out.
We decided to catch the Keils estate sale in Belleville Il. first Saturday morning. It was a tough call between this sale and the Accent sale I featured yesterday, but we really did clean up here! We didn't even get up at a ridiculous hour and WEREN'T first in line (5th / 6th actually!).
So you say you'd love the Broyhill Brasilia line if it was a bit more subtle and stained a little lighter to more "go with" your Danish / Scandinavian Vintage Modern sensibilities? Perhaps you should drop everything and head over to this Accent estate sale were a very nice set of Broyhill Forward 70 awaits a new owner. PS, deals are more likely had on Sundays!
I've gone through a lot of great items before the blog came along...seems a shame to leave all those beautiful items nearly forgotten and in the past! Take a looky!
I spotted this fantastic Jere "Birds In Flight" sculptural piece in the pics for a local estate auction. Nearly nothing else at the auction seemed like it related to this piece or it's style and the auction was on a Thursday morning so I was hoping there wouldn't be many other bidders for it. Pphhhh...whatever.
Oh wow...it got cold here in the StL. I done turned on the heat...and that's sayin' something. Wasn't it just like a hundred about three weeks ago? Well...it makes for good snugglin' in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace...and I got just the tool set you might need!
Party Time? Bring it on. I gots all the indispensable smalls! I got your drinks AND snack covered as well as a little Tiki decor to boot. Let the good times begin!
I've been REAL good about NOT bringing home every cool looking Washer and Dryer that I've crossed paths with...so far. I have a feeling that might change soon. I might have to make some room in the garage.
