Sunday... at The Auction....

It was quite a day....

I was up...and rollin'... by 4:30.... a.m. 

oh my....

It was raining... there was ice... here and there....

Then... The Wind....

oh my.

I don't remember the last time... I had a wind burn.

The wind... was relentless.....

most of the day. 

I gathered everything.... from.... an Old....Model T Tailgate...

to...

Fresh Duck Eggs.

: )

It was a pretty tuff Auction,,,,

seems... many Folks...have learned to appreciate... 

worn... and well loved... pieces...too.

: )

I found myself... sitting on my hands... often.

: )

Yet... some Treasures... slipped past... the others. : )

The Ford...and I.... came home... with a Heavy... load.

I bought a Big... Old Galvanized Farm Cart....

that... Thankfully... as I was struggling with it...to get it on the bed...of the Ford....

a Kind... Young Man.... offered a Hand....with. : )

{Angel! } 

It is Sooooo Cool. : )

I..had a Lovely... time... at the Auction... I go...every year.

The People... are... so down to earth.... 

Refreshing. 

Ran into...some Friends...there...too.... : ) it was Good... to see them... : )

The Duck Eggs... are Amazing. 

Had a couple... for Breakfast... this Morning....

They are so rich.... 

One... is Plenty. 

: )

{Hadn't eaten a Duck Egg... since I was a little girl... 

They taste the same, as Chicken Eggs... to me...except.... they are Bigger... and Richer... }

I bought 4 dozen... thought they'd be Great... for Easter. 

They keep... better... than Chicken Eggs..... they have a thicker shell. }

I found a Wonderful...Old...Old... Kraut Cutter.... with a Heart.... cut out.

It was a Market.... where the Auction was.... I bought several... wonderful 'Smalls'...there....

Had they been on the Auction... I wouldn't have been able to bring them home...

Things...were selling... High. 

I'm so Thankful... for what we have...piled in the Barn...and Sheds. 

oh my...

If I had to buy for the shop... at Auction.... well... I...couldn't do it.  

Thankfully.... the rabbit hole... will be.... Full... at Opening.

now...

if I can just... get it all... pulled together.

: )

oh my.

Love to ya...

Anything that says 'Derby'... finds it's way.... to the House! 

Love this.... Small... Kraut Cutter....
It Has a Heart!!!
I'd Love to Keep it...
but... it will find it's way.... to the rabbit hole.
{I'm keeping the Derby Box. I can't have... everything. : ) }

Best Buy... of the Day!

The Duck Egg... is on the Left.
They are larger... and more Oval...
The Shells... are much thicker....too.
When I cooked two...this morning.... they reminded me... of Chicken Eggs... on Steroids!
To me... they taste the same... but... the whites... are much more stable... and the yolks... are Much... Richer....
I saw them being used, on a PBS Program... a while back...
Seems Duck Eggs... are Truly... the Incredible... Egg!

This Farm Cart...would be Wonderful... to change out... Seasonally...
I can see it... Filled with Flowers!!! {or... Pumpkins!}

This is a 'Parts Washer'... I'm going to give it a Good Cleaning.
It would be Great.... at a Wedding...or...Event... with Ice in it.... and drinks... or..even Food....
It's Cool!

I used this old Mail Box...for a Stool... at the Auction... to sit on...
{it was a LONG Day.... }
Carried it with...everywhere I went... in the afternoon....
: )
The Crazy Auctioneers... kept trying to Sell it... out from under me...

oh my....
Auctioneers... are...a Very...Special... Breed.
{love 'em... : ) }
