We were up bright and early to get to the auction in Dingwall. We were concerned about how we were going to get everything back to our storage unit an hour away. On the early morning 2 hour drive we discussed that we were not buying any clocks, sewing machines and that there was a limit to old wooden boxes. We had big plans for all of the auction ‘wins’, we would soon procure. It would require another trip to Dingwall to collect everything, but we were okay with that.
We need not have worried.
We were out bid.
Often and by a lot! It was quite a learning experience. We did however, get at least one very exciting ‘old box’.
This box was on the list of bids. My Loving Spouse went a wee over budget to snag it for me. I know exactly where it will go. Everything else? Not only did we get out bid by about 3 times our budget, but I can’t even copy the pictures for you from their website.
My Loving Spouse did a ‘rescue bid’ on these fireplace tools at 2 pounds. We’ll keep the one poker we need and take the rest to a charity shop.
We added this small bench/seat to the list at the last minute. It too was a ‘rescue bid’ at 2 pounds. I will recover the top and My Loving Spouse will refurbish the wood.
…and that’s all folks…until next weeks auction..
May you all be blessed.
Your house and auction finds are wonderful! It’s great to hear all about how everything is going for you and Pat!
Great to hear from you, Heather. Thanks so much. I look forward to maybe seeing you in Scotland!
How nice to come home with a few treasures if not things on your list. I hope the next auction is more fruitful!
Thanks my friend, oh how much fun you would have at the auction! I can’t wait to see what will come up this week!
