Saturday, April 26, 2008 - Today's finds on a grey Yard Sale morning

Posted in Yard Sale Finds

It was a little grey out there, and a few drops of rain fell, but I managed to find a few treasures.

 

 

  1. 3 carabiners that say "Canadian Forces" on them.  The boys will like them. Three for 25¢
  2. 8 vintage ties (not for me - my grandmother is pondering the idea of making a quilt from ties) The gold one and the royal blue with lilac diamonds one are my favourites. All eight for 25¢
  3. White muslin sheet - PERFECT for my Dear Jane backgrounds - $1
  4. Retro sheet - ooooh....imagine matching cloth grocery bags - $3
  5. Old tin with embossed kitten on top - 25¢
  6. Embroidered pillowcases and vintage tea towel.  The tea towel has never been used.  It still has the adhesive from a sticker on it.  Let this be a lesson to you: do not save your nice linens because they are "too good" to use for everyday.  Some day when you're dead and gone, your children will donate them to a church rummage sale, and someone will buy them for 75¢ (total)
  7. Quilt books.  They are worthy of a look, and much cheaper than a magazine.  I paid $2 for the three of them.

One of the things I miss about not living in the US anymore is not being able to go to yardsales. We do have jumble sales, wherein you can find some treasures, but it's not quite the same. And we have car boot sales as well, but again, not QUITE the same. Looking forward to the next set of mystery instructions later today.
