Mickey and I went to a school salvage auction this past weekend. These are our absolute favorite auctions to attend........you never know what you might find within the walls of an old school building!! We don't find these auctions very often....actually this is the first one we've been to in 2 years!! Needless to say, we were pretty excited! It was packed with people and there were three rings going. We ended up getting most of the things we wanted but these beauties got away.......
This old workbench was pretty awesome! Probably about 8 feet long and HEAVY..hence the reason it got away. And because it wouldn't fit in my car! But I did snap these photos so I can visit it now and then!! :-)
Guess how much it sold for?
Wait for it.....
$40!!
And then there was this set of lockers that I wanted so badly!
But again, we couldn't lift it just the two of us. And we were about an hour from home, so calling for back-up wasn't really an option! Wouldn't these be a fabulous addition to a craft room or mud room? Swoon.
All was not lost though! We did get an old industrial film cabinet, 3 turquoise carts, a tabletop industrial drawer cabinet, a vintage locker basket, several vintage industrial trash cans, and a big assortment of vintage metal magazine holders in fun colors!
Thanks for visiting!

No way...$40. I'm dying over here. Both of those cabinets would have looked great in a craft room or other. Sounds like you were able to find some industrial things for the show coming up! Awesome! I'll have to keep my eyes open for that type of sale. Fun!
Hope you have a good weekend, Polly!
XOXO,
