WELL--YOU CAN'T WIN THEM ALL.............

I was up and out the door and at MY AUCTION before the auction even started. It was looking very auspicious--not too many people and no one that I knew who would offer competition. So I sat down to wait.......Miguel didn't pull the Vargueno out from under the table until quite late---so I kept the faith. When the auctioneer came to MY VARGUENO he announced it as an old tool chest of some sort (I guess he hadn't looked inside) so I really got hopeful.

The bidding started at $10.00!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. But it soon became apparent that one other person knew what MY VARGUENO was........so we bid back and forth to about $500.00 and I dropped out.

It would still have been a great price, but the vargueno was missing its very important lock and even more important stand. And it was the more simple form which means not as many interested buyers..............

I'm still hopeful.....you just never know what's going to drop in your lap.

Thanks for cheering for me.
