There is a local auction held on Tuesday nights in E Syracuse.
You can go into the auction hall during the day and preview the items that will be up for bid and you can even reserve a seat.
There have been times that Stickley Furniture has sold for under $50 and the other night a knife sold for over $400! The excitement is that each night is so unpredictable!
It"s a fun night out with girlfriends and always surprising! We meet for a quick dinner and then grab our "reserved seats"
Yvonne and Janine always find great treasures!
Debbie says "Joni, stop bidding against me":
I bought this old lamp base and hung my lantern from it - it was only $2:
The other night I bought an old mirror at the auction.
I "shabbied" it up a bit with some white and gold paint....
....and gave it some "roughly painted" black stripes:
I love to rescue old pieces and I certainly think I have brought this one "back to life"!
It's looking for a new home - So, it is off to Shabby Chic Boutique!
We have a good auction house here, but I haven't been in years. Afraid I'd bring things home and not have a place to put them. Ha!

I love to go to auctions you just have to control the urge to go a bit over board.

I have never been to an auction and I'm dying to! They just don't do stuff like that around here. =(
