Vintage couture and accessories auction wrap-up

I went with Rose and Holly to the vintage clothing auction at Leslie Hindman. Either I have bad taste, or everyone else does. A lot of the stuff I liked failed to meet estimates, and one of my 1990s picks didn't even sell. Many lots that I thought were underwhelming or disappointing saw stiff competition and healthy prices. But as my realtor would say, "This is actually good news." Because it meant I could buy a few of the things I wanted!

If you're hesitant about attending a live auction for whatever reason, I think that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers offer a good first-time experience. They have very diverse offerings and a relatively casual atmosphere. The young, energetic staff are professional and knowledgeable. And they had complimentary mimosas in the morning! Try it sometime if you're in Chicago.
