Auction Finds

Back from my trip to the antique auction! There were plenty of items up for grabs, but I only came home with the following: two danish modern side tables and one galvanized metal watering can. I'm super excited about the side tables for a couple reasons; first, I've been on the lookout for side and coffee tables for at least six months and, second, they were $10! SCORE! Most important, however, is they look really great.

Closer look; the legs have a nice taper

No excuses for my geraniums to be dehydrated!

GO: Shipshewana, Indiana Antique Auction

Every Wednesday throughout the summer there's a huge antique auction in Shipshewana, Indiana. Held in a large building with over 31,000 square feet of space, 8-10 auctioneers will concurrently sell antique furniture, pottery, jewelry, toys, quilts and glassware. Today I'm going to the auction with my mom (who's the queen-bee antiquer!) and hope to come home with some great finds. I'll post pictures (and maybe video!) tomorrow. 

Shipshewana is located in north-central Indiana,

home to many Amish families
