Reflections of 2017

1/1/2018

4 Comments

 
The hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is behind us and 2018 has arrived. 2017 was a big year at Harry Lahr Auctions. Just over a year ago, we had our first auction in our new auction center. This year was full of auctions from 60-year antique collection, to an estate from New York, household sales and we started having Thursday night auctions. We sold antiques, primitives, stoneware, and more canning jars than we ever dreamed. We have celebrated personal milestones- our daughter, Mahala, started pre-school and proudly announced that she wanted to be an auctioneer when she grows up. Matt and I celebrated our fifth anniversary December 3rd. And our other future auctioneer Caleb turned 1 year old in March. We had new experiences- Matt and I attended the Red Wing Collector’s Society Midwinter Show together for the first time in February and we headed North for Matt’s first Oronoco Gold Rush Days in August. We ended the year getting our new auction software up and running. Along the way we have learned a lot, had some sleepless nights, and made new friends.

At the end of each year I always find myself reflecting on the year that has passed and look forward to the year that is ahead. This year is no different and if 2018 is anything like 2017, I can’t wait to see where 2018 takes us personally and professionally. Thank you to everyone that supported Matt and I and Harry Lahr Auctions over the past year. Thank you to all the consigners and families that have entrusted with your auctions. To all our wonderful customers that we have met that have attended our auctions in person, bid over the phone or checked our website or followed us on social media. To our friends, family and auction staff that have been right there with us over the past year- Thank you! We truly are living out our dream and we couldn’t and wouldn’t want to do it without you.

Below are a few pictures from 2017. Our first auction for 2018 is this Saturday, January 6th, we hope to see you there. Happy New Year! Lisa
