auction

not some online thing, but an actual auction. i haven't been to one in a VERY LONG TIME. i went to the Kilshaws one tonight, which was interesting. i am looking for a couch, to put in what will be the New Living Room. There were two there tonight, both of which i would have been very very happy to take home, but they both went for way more than i thought they would, and more than i was going to pay. so now i have some thinking to do. as in, maybe i need to be willing to pay more?

i haven't really been looking for too long, and so i'm still just getting used to the idea of what things cost, especially with used furniture. One of the couches was a nice chocolate brown leather thing, with good square lines, and nice wide arms, and also had a companion love-seat. the other, which actually came up first, was a purple 40's sort of thing, with the woodwork details, nice chanel-back design, and had two chairs with it. actually i fell in love with it, and kinda wish now that i had been willing to go higher; it went for $550 or so, and if i had bid on it might have just gone even higher, of course. thinking about it now i shoould have at least been willing to go for $600. well, now i know that.

wish i had pictures of these couches to show you.
