This weekend a friend and I ventured out to a local auction in popular Central Pennsylvania. The place was PACKED which can make it hard to find and even more difficult to bid on great items. For the past several years it has been tough finding auctions that aren't crowded. This must be a hot spot for finding antiques. But, I was very happy with some of my treasures:
Vintage PARIS framed print of an area near the Boulevard Montmartre...
Unique lid on apothecary jar with pretty sea shells...
Pretty pink lustre ROSES cake plate...ooh la la!
I also found a pretty swing arm photo frame, vintage books, tole (with roses!) magazine rack as seen in my first picture above, and a vintage set of antlers to decorate with a cabin/cottage feel, and more!
Auctions are a lot of fun and the anticipation of what I might find is what gets me there!
Next stop...the local thrifty hangout...maybe I'll see you there!
Oh by the way, if you are interested in any of these...you may find them and more in my vintage shop.
