Here's Adam holding our number. This auction sells antiques that are freighted in from England. We're hoping to find some bedroom and office furniture here.
The next day (Why is Adam wearing the same shirt? Is it his lucky bidding shirt?) we went to an estate auction. Even the property went up for bid. It sold at $150,000 for 3.5 acres. I don't have to tell you what a deal that is.
The man who previously owned the property had a warehouse built on it. It looks like he was making part of it into a home. How cool is that?
This time we bid on a book-press. Just like the letter-press I recently bought, this antique will be getting used. It basically smashes the book so that while the glue is drying the book doesn't get warped and the binding drys nice and tight. It sure beats pulling all my heavy things off my shelves to use for weight.
You should try going to an auction sometime, it's like a silent fight over someone elses junk that really gets your heart pounding.
It sure sounds like you guys have been having a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool find! Congrats on your winning bid!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnna! You're a treasure finding fiend! I am glad you get to do things with Adam on the weekends, too. Isn't adult life fun?
ReplyDeleteVERY cool!! Look at you guys... that sounds like so much fun. We are thinking about hitting the Auction Floor when it comes time to house hunt. I really hope we can get a smokin' deal too. You may need to mail us Adam's shirt for good luck!! :)
