Finally made it out again!

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.

HOLY CROCK!

I am offically done buying crocks! :)  My sister found me a 5 gallon Crown crock two weeks ago.  Then last Tuesday I took my parents to Hippo Hardward so that they could get drawer pulls for their newly remodeled bathroom and closet.  Well, while we were at Hippo, my parents bought this 6 gallon Marshall Pottery crock as an early birthday present.

I thought that the 5 gallon and 6 gallon were the only ones that I had left to search for, but was I wrong!  Again, while we were at Hippo Hardware, I ran across this beauty and could not resist buying it.  Look at the second picture and you will see that it is a 30 Gallon Crown crock.  YES, you read that right, 30 Gallon!  It is broken and needs to be glued, but I really don't care.  I had no idea they were made that big.  What a fabulous find.

Happy Treasure Hunting to everyone!

A new crock for the patio!

So I have found another crock for the patio.  This one is a 10 gallon made by the same company as my 8 gallon one, The Marshall Pottery Company, Marshall Texas.  I picked this one up from an estate sale held this past weekend by Always P&P.

This great little rocking horse was a purchase made by my husband.  We went to the Garrison Auction on Saturday (I had to meet him there since I had to go to the Vintage Gathering first).  My husband went to try to get some items for the shop, but got out bid on everything he was interested in.  This little horse was the entertainment of our Little Treasurer Hunter the whole auction, so when it came up in a choice bid my hubby grabbed it for $5.00!  I think he will get about another month or two of use from it and then he will be too big.  But hubby thinks he can make a bigger version.

Good luck Treasure Hunting to all!
