These are some assorted frames and artwork that came as part of lots that I purchased.
A great piece that just needs some love.
This is a vintage chandelier that was never actually used, the crystals are still covered. It will need to be rewired but it is actually only one light so I think it should be doable. If not, it is so pretty it will work great even with a candle.
This was a lot of pewter that I couldn’t pass up and no one was bidding. They sure were glad I showed up to take a bunch of the junk no one else wanted!
Some more assorted artwork and a set of Italian nesting tables. They need to be painted which is no big deal but they are also wobbly. Hopefully I will be able to fix that.
This falls in the category of junk. I will have to figure something interesting out.
A whole lot of frames.
Again, falling into the “What I am going to do with this?” category, I came home with vintage tin children’s items including a doll bunk bed, a stove and a bassinet type of thing.
The real reason I went to the second auction was for these…
They were the LAST thing sold and I was worried the prices were just going to go too high. The watches were going for hundreds and hundreds of dollars so I thought the big spenders would be going for the clock faces also. Fortunately, there were only two other bidders that were doing anything by that point and I got them. Woo Hoo! My sister and I tried to be very low key but we were pretty psyched! These two are my favorites.
I also will be going this weekend to pick up the pieces that wouldn’t fit in the truck! I got a giant old desk (like my Grandfather had – I know an emotional bid but it was only $15. Now I have to figure out where I am going to put it!), two beds, a beautiful french provincial arm chair, a nice side table and a beautiful dresser! Each of them were $15 because no one else was bidding on them. I am telling you, auctions are the way to go! I will post pictures when we manage to get them home!

Love the little table. Cute! Look forward to what you do with her. I'm pretty sure my sister and I had doll bunk beds like those. I just dated myself, haha! Visiting from Miss Mustard Seed. Happy Fall!

Oh those clock faces…I'm so jealous! Great finds. I may have to start going to some auctions. Visiting from Miss Mustard Seed.
The clock faces are awesome! I have a small collection, and I am always on the look out for more…what a GREAT find!
What great stuff! I love going to auctions. It is definitely a hit or miss.
I love the clock faces. I made one (see my blog – http://followyourheartwoodworking.blogspot.com/2010/09/big-clock.html )
with roman numerals but after seeing yours, I need to make another one with actual numbers 1, 2, 3…
Great buys there!
I can't wait to see what you do with some of your treasures. LOVE the Italian nesting tables! And that armoire! I must go to auctions!
I love the clock faces. I would have gone nuts. Congrats to you.
Oh my.. great finds! I love the clock faces too. I'd love just a wall with those!
I remember the auction days. Oh my gosh. I could never grow pretty fingernails while bidding…
