We spent most of our day yesterday at an auction and are pleased with what we came home with, making the 7 hours and dirty jeans worth it. All the usual suspects were there as well as new faces, including a woman that didn't know the meaning of personal space, ugh. One nice older gentleman helped us carry a cool, old Galvanized Double Wash Tub that we will have available at Lucketts, VA in May. On the flip side of that, I busted a man helping himself to an old locker (painted a chippy seafoam green) we bought and I hadn't gotten around to loading in my car. The locker will be available at Lucketts also in May.

We also bought a Victorian Camel Back Sofa (we'll name her Sofia), with carved feet & NAILHEAD TRIM (a feature we LOVE!). It's current upholstery is a hideous green but we think it would look spectacular in a gray & ivory modern geometric. I love the contrast of traditional with modern & fresh. The fabric we're considering has a soft neutral palette and the pattern is pretty & interesting. Leave your comment to let us know your thoughts. We thought about keeping it neutral (an ivory canvas, maybe) to appeal to a larger group, but that just doesn't seem to do the lines of Sofia justice.

Some of the other great finds, to list a few:

-2 antique chandeliers, dripping with crystals

-a beautiful carved buffet

-Victorian lamp

-50's metal lawn chairs, painted a chippy gray

-silver plate trays, pitchers, etc

-kitch-y Highballs

-monogrammed (letter B) highballs with an ice bucket all in a carrying caddy

And the list goes on & on. Many of these finds will be at Chartreuse&co Feb 19-21 for our monthly Tag Sale. We're headed to another auction Saturday, will post pic's. Wish us luck!
