Auction Update & WWJB

Here are the current stats on the Pommes Anna Pan auction:

Current bid: $50.01
Number of bids: 20
Number of watchers: 53

Have you ever heard of eBay Pulse?  For each category of items sold on eBay, you can view a list of the most popular searches and the most watched items in that category. Well, our little auction is on the Most Watched list for the Cookware & Bakeware category! I think we can attribute that to you, the freshvintage blog readers, who have added the auction to your own watch list. My personal record for watchers was 50, when I sold my nun doll on eBay a few years ago.

Now on to my finds for the week...

Yes, another metal card drawer. I know that a few of you were asking about the red drawer, but I think I'm keeping that one. Sorry. I also bought a hexagon Haeger planter and a metal cash box.

It's definitely not from the colonial era, but this sampler would look cute in a nursery:

 

In honor of Lent, I picked up the Last Supper print. Actually, it was the old frame that caught my eye. And the tablecloth.

That is one cute tablecloth. Rumor has it that Jesus scored it at a wicked estate sale in Jerusalem. When he got home and unloaded all of the junk from his donkey's back, he busted out his red thread and embroidered the apostles' names along the bottom edge, in lieu of placecards. 

Henceforth and heretoforthwith, I've answered the age-old question: What Would Jesus Buy?

I had sixteen years of Catholic school. I'm allowed to say stuff like that.

HaHa...I've heard stories that Jesus got a fabulous deal on that tablecloth...

Congrats on the auction interest...I always enjoy my visits here!

Uh, WWJB? HILARIOUS.

Well, since you asked....Jesus wouldn't be buying. He PAID a huge price for us, instead. With his life. Thus, the last supper.

I agree, a very pretty tablecloth! I wonder if it was Da Vinci's mother's?????

The WWJB post knocked me off my couch I was laughing so hard. Now you should check out cracked.com's "20 tacky religious products guaranteed to anger God." Knowing your family, you can finish up all your stocking stuffers in one fell swoop. XOX

Geez, who knew that copper pot is so in demand - is it rare or something? I just looked & it is up to 71 dollars!

And now I know that although the Last Supper looks a bit chaotic, they all were told where to sit by Jesus himself. Do you think he haggled? - signed, another Catholic School Girl...

If I wasn't so tired, I'd be LMAO right now! :) (Also a Catholic School girl!).

I have been moving and therefore not online for a few days, so I'm playing catch up with my favorite blogs. You CRACK ME UP! Love the WWJB tablecloth!
