Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this auction and they are not taking an absentee bids :flaming: But I thought I would pass along the information to anyone else who might be interested. (Note: It is the only local auction that has specified "vintage clothing" in the title....a pretty rare treat!)

Hi - I went to this auction and am still selling stuff I bought there. (I am just now seeing your post.) It was amazing... but I was not alone and two other buyers had larger wallets than I. There were three generations of vintage clothing - Edwardian - 20's 30's and 50's 60's. Now I have to figure out how to use this board... Amanda
 
Hi Amanda! :hiya: I've had some of your items on my watchlist. :wub:

I'm glad someone got a chance to go. :) I have been to their remote site to check out their items in the past, only to be disappointed in the quality of what was being sold, so I didn't feel so bad about not attending. It is good to know that there was some great items out there for you! :clapping:
