There is a wonderful auction house in Richlands Virginia that Darrell and I love to visit when we can. It is about a hour and a half drive from our home. We decided to go this past Saturday. Usually when we are going I give myself a budget that I plan to spend for the evening, Well this week I shot that all to pieces. This is some of the dishes I purchased. Also purchased some furniture but it had to go in storage until spring, We are going to open a shop in the spring so I guess I can use this as an excuse for my purchases. Also found a fabulous rug to go under my dining table. I try not to go but once every couple of month as I would go broke if I went any more often. It is a country auction where the local ladies have a food stand and they sell everything from chicken and dumplings to pinto beans and all kinds of deserts. Is there a better way to spend the evening than a home cooked meal and an auction. They move so fast you can get lost very easy and bid on the wrong item. A true auction is a real experience and a barrel of fun. This is a wonderful flow blue tea pot.

Do you ever find yourself not wanting to part with some of the things that you purchased. Auctions are fun but I can't keep up with some of the people. We will be going to one in March mainly because it is family. I love your dishes. Shirley
,That aqua boot is beautiful!The candle sticks are so elegant looking.You found some wonderful deals.Hugs,Jen
I love the fostoria and the flo blue, they are wonderful treasures for your new shop.
So many beautiful things. My favorite is the Fostoria candleholders. The delicate designs have always had a place i my heart!
Judy, I can see why you blew your budget. Great stuff. I would have done the same thing. My husband and I run and auction and I do all the "home cookin" so I can tell you we have standing room only all the time. It is rare to find pieces that nice though at our auction, although once in a while I get lucky. Have a great day.
I love all the things you got at the auction, especially the flo blue. I have a friend who started collecting pieces a number of years ago. She had a chance to buy a complete set of flo blue about 1987 for about $200, or something, but she was a recent widow and didn't feel she could afford it. She has rued that day a many a time! There's no telling how much one would have to pay for it these days. I know it's expensive! great buying, judy!
