Saturday at the Auction

We spent all day Saturday at one of the best auctions I have ever been to.    It was held in Friona, Texas,  a little town about 30 miles from here....only about  4000  people.  The estate they were selling belonged to a little lady that had just moved to a retirement home in Amarillo, Texas.   She had excellent taste and everything was of the best quality.
I was able to bring this gorgeous FF teapot home with me.....

$21.00.....

I bought a couple of  "lots" of Christmas totes..   If you have never been to an auction,  they sell things in "lots" sometimes.

Entry 76 was a "lot" of 8 totes of Christmas  and  entry 102 was 5 totes of Christmas.    It was just like Christmas going thru all of those totes!   I found lots of treasures to keep and we loaded the Yukon full and took the rest to the Light House to share our blessing.....

I fell in love with these wise men.....I hope that I can find a Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus to go with them......

Here is another Santa teapot  and pretty figurine that I think will look good displayed together at Christmas.

I found this Easter basket in one of the totes marked Christmas....

I don't have any other Jim Shore pieces so I was happy to find this one in my totes.

There was also a Jim Shore nativity set.....

There was only one wise man,  so I hope I will be able to find the other two to complete the set.

I won't be able to show you the rest of what I found in all those totes because we boxed everything else up til Christmas.......
