Auction Find: Copper Kettles

Saturday is auction day around here, and yesterday we went to one of our favorites in town.  They had a really nice variety of items for sale from several estates.  There  were a few things we bid on but did not  win.  However,  we were able to score these beauties:

They are now nestled on top of our kitchen cabinets, right under the spotlights, and we think they are perfect.  These  copper kettles are a prime example of why we love going to auctions, you never know what you’ll find and what you’ll go home with.
