"Monster" chair Auction

I've had today's auction marked on my calendar for weeks, and I'm already envisioning where I will be placing the "monster" redwood chair and table that I hope will be mine at the end of today!
My husband even gave up his usual place at his computer editing photographs that he takes of local landscapes, plus the Master's Golf tournament to accompany me on an hour trip away to this auction! Now that's love right there!
To make a long, long story short....we stayed until the bitter end, you know, when everything was going for a dollar and if the box lot didn't sell, the auctioneer added another box and another until someone finally succumbed to paying a dollar.  I didn't get my "monster" chair...crushingly hard to fathom, and they were not kidding about monster!  Made with solid redwood,  it could not be lifted...took 4 men to pick it up....plus it sold for way more than I could ever scrounge up, so off I went and picked up about a dozen silk greenery of various sizes and shapes for $2.00 each....a huge bargain, some even still had the retail tag of $34.99 on them!  Scored!  Yeah, perfect touches for Home Staging, and decorating the Parade of Homes model I'm working on for the Fall.  A wall hanging, ladder, comic glasses, a Nordic Pine in pot and even a leather trench coat for my husband, rounded out the rest of the day.   A couple of things to sell in my store, tayrose.com, on ebay, tayrosecom, and on Etsy, TayRose.....so grateful that the sun was out all day, everything fit in the truck, and even had time to post some items on ebay. 
Tomorrow, I've got to return items to stock that I didn't use on a house that I staged to sell last week.  I also need to drag out some old rusted tin that I need to paint on for a client.  A full day!
