A pretty Great auction Day!

I knew when I stepped outside and into a bright,

beautiful sunbeam it was going to be a great day!

Cousin It confirmed it for me... So off to the auction we went!

The ride up to Wilksboro was a bit tricky because the roads were

very icy. We passed many terrible accidents along the way. My good

friend who drove up from Advance to join us said she saw twice the

number of accidents we saw on our way up - And, she was no more

than 30 minutes behind us. Nevertheless, we all made it in one piece!

If you were in the market for a clock - Today's auction was the place to be!

The auctioneer announced that most of

these Clocks came out of the same estate...

Which I found astounding! I imagined the collector

must have died after going mad from all that ticking!

Despite the road conditions, the house was packed! Still,

the prices were fantastic! This gorgeous punch bowl

set, in absolute mint condition sold for a song!

By a song, I mean $160 - See it here to compare

As usual, the selection of furniture pieces and other items was very interesting! Two

months ago, when the on-line Catalog for this sale was first published, I knew I had

to have this pink Toledo candy scale. So cool! And, it measures in 2-cent graduations!

It took almost the whole day to come up

for bid... But I had nothing but time!

It was soooo worth the wait!

It's perfectly accurate and it cleaned up to look nearly new!

I just couldn't resist weighing out some candy tonight!

Honestly... It's just too stinkin' cute for words!

I was tempted to Remove the NC Department of Agriculture

approval stamp. But when I noticed the year this sweet scale was

last certified, I decided against it. Because 1988 was a Very good year!

How did you spend your Saturday?
