So I haven't been able or in the mood to treasure hunt lately. I did sign up to go to an estate sale a few weeks ago and then The Little Treasurer Hunter caught a cold and I was not able to make it. However, I saw an announcement for an Amundson Auction and worked it out with the hubby so that I could go. The weather turned out to be great; although, I wasn't dressed for great weather.
Here are the two treasures I got:
This is three great pictures of the Monterey Bay in California taken in 1934. I am contemplating given it to my parents for their anniversary. They often go to Monterey to celebrate their anniversary so I thought it would make a great present.
These are eight Ice Tea Spoons for my silverware which was my grandmother's. I got a complete set of the silverware (5 piece place setting for eight, 3 serving tablespoons, 1 solid casserole spoon, 1 sugar spoon, and 1 serving fork). Some of the pictures are below. I am not sure whether I am going to keep the set (it is either the dinner set or the luncheon set and I have the other one that it is not) or sell it. I am keeping the Ice Tea Spoons for sure, they are very hard to find.
I spent a lot of time at the auction because, as usual, the items I wanted to bid on were last to come up. Oh well, it was fun getting to know the fellow buyers there.
Until next time, Happy Treasure Hunting.
Those iced tea spoons are a great find, I never see them in my wanderings. Enjoy...lisa ;-)
