Well I went to the auction on Wednesday to try to get inspired.
To get out of my creative slump.
To find joy in the "junque"!
I spent five hours standing out in the freezing cold bidding on things for my shop at Chartreuse and the barn.
The pickings were slim, but there were a few fabulous things I had to bid on.
And so did my arch nemesis!
Oh, yeah, he was there...as always.....
The one with the oh, so fabulous shop, in a trendy part of D.C.
The one with the really super cool, one of a kind beautiful pieces I love so much.
He was bidding on the same things I was!
As usual.
Like the garden table with the scalloped base and smooth, time worn, beautiful wood top.
Winning bid: $475.
Guess who won?
Nope, not me.
Or the super cool old safe that weighed a ton but would have made a really cool one of a kind coffee table?
$120.
Nope, not me.
Or how about the industrial steel side table that just screamed Restoration Hardware?
$110.
Nope, not me.
My pockets aren't as deep as his!
But I did get a really great french country panel mirror.
and
An old wooden box spring that will look fabulous as a display for jewelry in the shop.
and
A super cute industrial wagon that will be adorable loaded with pansies in the spring.
The other thing I didn't get was pictures!
My hands were too cold to carry a camera!

Hi!
You may probably be very interested to know how one can manage to receive high yields on investments.
There is no initial capital needed.
You may begin earning with a sum that usually is spent
on daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one company's work for several years,
and I'll be glad to let you know my secrets at my blog.
Please visit my pages and send me private message to get the info.
P.S. I make 1000-2000 per daily now.
