Auctions & Tablescapes

Today I have the privilege of being guest blogger at Between Naps on the Porch. The subject is auctions, and I’ve provided a tutorial that includes lots of pointers, pics, and tablescapes! If you haven’t seen it, I hope you’ll check it out HERE.

 

If, however, you find yourself visiting my blog because you’re coming from Between Naps on the Porch, thank you–and welcome! I hope you’ll come back often. I’d love for you to leave a comment and tell me you saw my post at Susan’s.

 

Just in case you have time for some auction-themed, toe-tapping fun…check this out.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope to see you again soon!

  1. Oh, I adore those plates! Everything in this post is wonderful, Susan, and I am crazy about the pearl-handled knives with the silver ferules. Lovely!

    Happy Tablescape Thursday to you…

    XO,

    Sheila 🙂

  2. I’m afraid that if I attend an auction that I will be hooked for life! I am in love with the pearl-handled knives! Your guest post was very well done. Thank you for the valuable information. I’ll be looking for auction signs 🙂

  3. I love going to auctions but am always afarid to actually “go for it!”. I always think i’m going to get took but after reading your guest blog on BNOTP, I just might try it out.
    Thanks!

  4. Thanks for the tutorial! I went to an auction in Orange Co. CA once years ago and made a mess of it. Never went back. Thanks for helping me feel more confident…

    Yep, followed you here from BNOTP!

  5. Enjoyed your guest post for Tablescape Thursday. My nephew paid his way through law school as an auctioneer. So much to learn; your tutorial was well done. Thanks for stopping by my post. I like your Etsy shop. I’m always searching for Coalport, Z3137, Exotic Bird (Apple Green Rim) in the dinner plate and the luncheon plate. Would love to know if you ever happen on them. I have a number of other patterns that I would love for you to watch for, if you’re interested. What is the dimension of the cobalt glass plate, please? I’m your newest follower. Cherry Kay

    Beautiful dinnerware!

  13. I just saw your post over at Between Naps on the Porch and just love love love the Holly Hobbie coffee set! My birth year is 1973 and I played with anything Holly Hobbie growing up! If you’re willing to sell them could you let me know? Plus I have 2 daughters who love Holly Hobbie and Little House on the Prairie and would love a lesson in tea and coffee service with this set! Thank you so much!

  14. Mindi, I couldn’t find a working email address for you, so I left a comment on your blog. In case you check back here, though… Yes, the Holly Hobbie set is for sale. Send me your zip code, and I’ll send you cost info including shipping. Thanks for your interest.
