Friday night was auction night and I felt as though I should have worn my boxing gloves! Whew, it was ruff tuff creampuff!!!
Had to fight for this one. This lovely seascape on canvas was not about to go to anyone else but me! Do you hear me mean man that tried to take it from me!
I painted the frame and I think it's perfect for my entryway.
I loved the crinkle of the canvas....so shabby wonderful.
I doubt that it will ever hang in a museum, but hey, Mr. Sissie says our house looks like a "museum," so there ya go!
Gizzy approves...
When I saw this pretty slip covered chair I knew I had the perfect place for it. Another bidder wanted it as bad as I did, so the price started going up. I almost gave up but decided to up the bid just one more time!
Glad I did...
It even had the manufacturer tags on it. The slipcover can be removed for washing, how cool is that!
Okay, that's it for now. So get out there and make, sew, create, design, photograph, paint, write, cook or repurpose something wonderful and share it with the rest of us!

I am so glad you got that painting over the mean man because he would have never done it justice like you did. The white on the frame was absolutely perfect.

Oh Sissie, don't you just hate it when someone wants the same thing as you. I'm so glad you got the painting, and I'm loving your chair, it's gorgeous! Hope you have a beautiful week!!!

Hey, I am glad you hung in there Sissie! I love both of your finds...I got myself a watercolor at the antique co-op. Now I have to get to an auction so hopefully I can pay less!!
Sissie:
You should wear a three-cornered hat and a patch over one eye! lol These are beautiful finds. I especially love the chair!
Hope you have a nice week.

Love the ship painting and love that you painted the frame white, it is perfect for you home. That chair is wonderful, now I would love something like that with slipcovers. Glad you fought and won both of those!

Two fabulous finds. The painting is gorgeous and I love the colors. Great frame redo also. The chair is perfect. Love the size and style and the slipcover is fabulous. Hugs, Marty
If I ever go to an auction, I want you with me, Sissie! I like a woman who knows what she wants and will beat the you-know-what out of whoever gets in her way! : )
I love going to auctions and "shoving peeps out of the way"...LOL
The painting is PERFECT!!! I love it!
Happy Monday Sweetie!

That seascape is wonderful, Sissie! And you can't go wrong with that chair!
It sounds like you had some auction drama! You show em who's boss Sissie! That picture is neat and who doesn't love a shabby comfty chair! Did you get anything for the booths?!
You got some really lovely things! I LOVE that painting... and I think I would have been pretty tough in order to get it too! Beautiful!

I would have held out for that painting as well....good for you. And the chair.. WOW!
Hi Sissie...I love you sweet little white chair..and yes..I would have grabbed it too. I hate bidding wars..makes my poor old heart beat way too fast! :)
Just painted my old coffee table. It's amazing what a can of white paint can do!
You never fail to delight!
