Auction Finds..

With my sale right around the corner...I decided to go to ONE MORE auction to pick up a few final pieces to paint for the sale....
 if you watched the weather at all this weekend you know there were storms all over....and it POURED during most of the auction...


It was so difficult to see pieces like this sit in the rain all day...


check out this great door with a sliding track--it got a lot of attention....it did not come home with me...I tried - but it went for about double of what i was willing to pay...


This little washstand had me at hello....minus the laundry basket of "goodies" parked on top of it!   


 at the end of the rainy, muddy day...........
I started collecting my finds......
a great frame to make a chalkboard out of,
a really cool chair,
my little washstand,
a little half circle table............ 


and a couple of really rough benches...


that after some sanding and a little Annie Sloan Duck Egg Blue Chalk Paint...they might look a little like this!   I posted the "how to" link under the pic if you are interested!  Enjoy!
