The auction…

Hey there!!  I haven’t forgot about the blog – just haven’t been around.   

We were able to spend last Saturday at an auction sale.  It was a monster of a sale but it was a pretty good way to spend the day.  I have to laugh, because growing up I hated auction sales and 2nd hand stores.  However, I am glad my parents drug me to them then, because I love them now!!  My kids loved this one too.

The boys got a huge box of 120 Hot Wheels cars.  This wasn’t even a dent in the boxes that were there, but we promised we would try to get some.

McKinley got a box of Barbies.  Again, this was only a fraction of what was selling.  However, she was super excited to get some new dolls, even though they were older ones.  (I claimed the 1998 Graduation Barbie – yeah that is when I graduated!)

Greg got some tools and gun reloading stuff.  So it really was a sale for everyone!!

I got some awesome big ticket items that I’ve been looking for for some time. 

I got an awesome trunk for $27.  There were a few to choose from and I think I got the best one there. 

I got these two awesome sleds.  I’ve had my eye on them for a long time as well, wanting one to use around the holidays.  Can’t wait for to use them now!!

Then we scored this end table.  We needed a bedside table and Greg started on a redo of it for me.   We also got the kids a guitar with it.  Funny the things they throw together, but we were looking at both items!! 

My favorite items are these old paper rolls.  I am not 100% sure where they will go, but I am so excited to put them up in the craft room! 

Some big things are happening at the house this week, so I’ll share as the week goes. 

Enjoy!!
