We spent Saturday with the good people of the Great State Auction company
and with some of our Fantastic friends. It was a great day at the auction!
I picked up a beautiful Bookcase, and I got the
vintage Pitcher and hand egg beater set I wanted!
But the prize of my day at the auction is this Westmoreland Hobnail
cake stand. And, I have my friend Kimberly to thank for it too! She was
high bidder of a choice lot and sweetly took Both items so that I could
have the Cake stand I wanted. Now, I know what you're thinking...
We have talked about my cake stand addiction before... But I
really and truly do believe that I can find room for just One more!
What great finds :)
ReplyDeleteDo you mind me asking...How much did you pay for that egg beater? I ask because I saw one very similar to that a couple weeks ago at the antique market here and it was like $65!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE that cake stand. It looks like the Fenton milk glass cake stand I have but with hobnails. so pretty! You must make a cake to put on it. YES!
No problem at all, Monica! You know I'd tell you anything! :)
ReplyDeleteI paid $35 for it, and would have paid more! It came up as a choice in a grouping of four, (of these) being auctioned off. I lost the first round because I stopped bidding at $70. Fortunately, the person that won at that price took the older (looking) one that was in a short jar, (with no handle) and with NO paint on the egg beater handle. The back-up bidder on the $70 bid took TWO of the other ones, also older/in worse shape/with no paint on the beater handles too. Then, when this one was put up again, I was high bidder at only $35. I was thrilled! I know it's not as old as the other ones were, but it's in Perfect condition. And I MUCH more prefer it over the others there. I just think it's TOO cute!
Great auction scores! That hobnail cake stand is gorgeous!! There is always room for something as special as that!!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you love it...it's beautiful! I love cake stands too!
ReplyDeleteYou always find the BEST stuff! And really, anything looks good with that KitchenAid mixer behind it! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! I LOVE the pitcher and egg beater. What a great addition to your kitchen. :)
