Here are two things that caught my eye. The cedar chest was neat, had 2 small pieces of the wood trim missing. I didn't want the chest, but I did appreciate it.
Now this oak basket was a different story. It was big, probably 48 inches long and 24 inches wide. If I had been able to tell if it was hand made not a mass factory production I might have bid higher. I went to $60 and it sold for $65. However every time I bid, she raised me by $5, so who knows how high her goal was.
Just another fun day in the country!

That basket is cool. I know what you mean about bidding and they oneup you (or five up). You came away from this auction cheap. I still can't believe you had the energy to go to an auction after the Old Munichberg day.
Sorry that you didn't get any new treasures--there is always next time. It sounds like a fun day anyway.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love your blog and the blacksmith blog! I had to follow both! My great grandfather was a blacksmith and I'd love to learn how someday.
First, um, WOW... THAT is a spider web!!! Eeeek, I wouldn't want to meet the creepy crawly that made that!
I'm also drooling over Deanna's serger. *sigh* I've never used one, but that doesn't stop me from dreaming about getting one. :)
Sounds like the action was fun. The basket was really awesome.
BTW, any news on baby Lane?
Have a great weekend!
Grrr... auction. ;)
That is a very pretty hope chest, I remember going to auctions with the grownups when I was little. Thanks for the memories :o)
Love the basket-and the chest. You have the best auctions out there-nothing like that here.
