This was the auction with over 100 rolling pins; I kid you not. I've never seen so many rolling pins in one place at the same time in my entire life.
Twenty-seven of them came home with me. (I actually thought I had more, but I just counted, so. No. 'Just' twenty-seven, which is bad enough. An instant collection, haha.) Thankfully, quite a few of them will be at Burlington next year--the highest price I paid for one was $7 (a really nice big maple one that I intend to keep) and the lowest price was $2, so it wasn't breaking the bank or anything. There were two ravioli pins there; they went for $20/each, and not many people knew what they were, so I told them. :)
The only other things I bought was a taller copper teapot, not really old, but nice, and this:
It is a stacking tea set.
Unmarked, and it might have been silverplated at one time, but I'm not sure, because the brass bits are around the bottom of the sugar and creamer, etc.
The lid doubles as a bell, how cute!

I didn't stay for the violin, because they were busy with the furniture, I'd already spent my budget, and I doubt it would have gone for $5 or something anyway. It was a nice violin, though.
Before I left for the auction, I finished part 5 and started in on Part 6 of the story-with-no-title. (Which really needs a title, hint, hint!) I'll be writing here in a bit after I eat something for lunch (or during lunch, for that matter.) I have to sort through rolling pins, too... :)
