It was most likely M-110 or NGC-205, a larger and more diffuse dwarf elliptical than M-32. It lies on the opposite side of M-31 from M-32, and is definitely dimmer than M-32 but still easy to see even in small telescopes. If you were looking about 7 degrees to the north of M-31, it's either NGC-185, another satellite of M-31, or NGG-278, a dwarf spiral in Cassiopeia. NGC-185 also has a companion, NGC-147 that is very faint and hard to see. This is a sketch I made of M-110 below.
