Rockin' Rayon


The great thing about thrifting is ya never know what you'll find. Yeah, I'm a hunter gatherer and judging by the amount of stuff in my basement, I'd better stop gathering real soon.

These are the sweetest cones of rayon embroidery thread, some still in the wrapper. 3 bucks a pop, woo hoo!

Garage Sale Friday


I love summer!
1. No snow to shovel
2. Tons of garage sales













Twins for only $50. Height adjustable. If only my form was this size. *sigh*





This old quilt is mighty heavy and it looks like there is a double wedding ring under the fans. It's in ragged condition and hey it was only 2 bucks so I won't feel bad taking it apart. I bought it as a cutter anyway.
I made a commitment this year to not use plastic bags, keeping them out of my house and the landfill so I have to remember to carry tote bags with me at all times. Ok, maybe I shop too much. Anyway, this is a big un and will hold lots of fabric and luckily I got 2 of them for a buck a piece.
Did you know cotton breaks down in the landfill in a matter of months? I'm probably the only one on the block with dryer lint and strips of cotton mulching my tomato plants.
