There was an auction this past weekend. But I didn't get to go! I had already committed myself to an outing at the Franklin Park Conservatory with my mother, sister-in-law, and the kids. I have to say I was very torn after going to the auction preview with my hubby the night before. So I talked him and my father into keeping an eye on a few items for me since they both were going for equipment items. I made a small I wish list, which I narrowed down to my three most wanted items. There was a lot more I had eyes on, but I had to be realistic with my list as the men would be doing the "shopping" for me. I have to admit though I verbally dropped a few hints as to other items that popped out at me. Just in case. You never know! I waited all day for the auction to end and hear back on the goods. Here is what they managed to snag for me, and only for $72 bucks!
Four original porch columns from a house build in 1887
Porch and Railing Parts
A lot of stuff huh!! Now I have to find a place to put it.
3 old chairs, there is another hiding in the corner that matches the smaller one.
2 large metal/brass (I'm not sure but they are very heavy) Chandeliers
And last but not least a freebie my mother took from her neighbors trash!!! I was so proud of her.
