Auction!



Yesterday Melissa and I went to an estate auction in Warsaw... we were there from 8:30 am until about 3:30 or so... house and contents, lots of lovely things.

What I acquired:

Mortars and pestles in iron, ceramic, glass, porcelain

Old medicine bottle (glass) "Our Trust" dog medicine.

milk glass apothecary bottles

mixing spatulas

a new pillow for max- it's pink and white and covered with rosebuds

boxes of books including chemistry notation (hand written) and books on poisons/ toxicology

minks

traps (for minks?)

big leather suitcase

leather doctors bag

homemade banana pudding, chocolate cake and rib-b-que (with extra pickles)

a broom made by a blind man (for grendel)

cigar box full of mysterious tiny glass pitchers with tiny glass spoons (?)

pink-and-green plain woven wool spreads

a sunburn

tincture of Squills

asked out on a date (I said yes! Why not, it's just a date....besides, it's one of the auction guys)

and a plastic cactus.
