accidental estate auction winning

When my husband and I go to estate auctions, I am mostly the paddle keeper. He knows that I know what to look for, what I want and mostly very conservative about bidding in general, and plus I don't yet trust his junk hunting skills yet. Well, on one recent auction I had to get up to go to the ladies room in the middle of it and harriedly left my purse and my number with him. Upon paying my "winning items", found these two pairs of old looking native beadwork mittens; winning bid $45!. I thought that was a lot of money. I don't really know anything about native beadworks and I still have to do my research, but until then I am securing my number with me on our auction trips.








P.S. I will be having a give-away here on Monday, please come back and enter to win. Happy weekend!

  5. They look interesting to me. I think your husband make a good purchase. I'll be interested to hear about your research on those. Plus, I'm just impressed your hubby likes to go with you. My husband hasn't caught "the bug" yet. Have a good weekend!
