An auction tragedy – a tale of woe and antique garden urns.

I got totally carried away bidding on these antique garden urns… Now that I have discovered auctions, it looks like I am going to bankrupt us!

Let’s start the year out right – giant antique card catalog.

This antique card catalog is the latest of my AMAZING finds… You should SEE the list of things I’ve scored on Craigslist!!

Giant Fancy Yard Sale Find, (and other junk I did not need).

My yardsale haul included a HUGE piece of architectural salvage, a vintage enamel tray, and other useless treasures.

Other people’s trash- vintage card catalog.

Vintage juice squeezers.. because WHY NOT hoard these?

Auctions– because you can never have too many giant, antique, fancy pieces of junk.

Another bed video & random thoughts.

In case you were wondering how Mad Men is going to end.

Putting the bed together.

We got this fantastic, antique bed on craigslist, but it’s only a full-size… see how we retrofitted it to accommodate our queen-size mattress.

I am only one yard sale away from an episode of hoarders.

Ideas for upcycling vintage yardsale finds… I repurposed an antique box into a pretty table decoration.
