Strange things happen to people when they go to auctions. Normally I'm yelling at my auction partner Debbie not to buy anymore linen lots, let alone bid on something really silly like vintage hats. So, I'm at the auction house today by myself and things are going along as usual. I decide I really want those little bee hand towels (I have the pattern but I know I won't ever get around to making them) so I bid on it. The lot does have some real vintage aprons made from fabric that is now being reproduced by many of the scrapbooking companies. There are also some shabby chic pillow cases and hankies I would use if I had a guest room to gussy up. There was also a hand quilted blanket in the lot, which I didn't know about, so that was a nice surprise. I really wanted the little green suitcase that came with all the funky little hats and I knew no one else would bid against me so I just had to get it. When I was taking the photos of the hats, I had to lock Lucy out of the room. She was very interested in all the feather! The colors are so bright I would love to see the dresses that went with them.
The top photo shows you the only things I really wanted. Now you know why auction junkies end up with so much stuff!
