It almost looked like the skies would clear today - alas, raindrops kept fallin' on my head!  We headed out bright and early towards Ilderton for their town-wide yard sales.

A little disappointing actually....I didn't find too many treasures.  I did score a HUGE box of household linens which will completely outfit Baby Soldier when he leaves for college.  I chose about a dozen nice towels, a few pillowcases, and some tea towels for him, and FreeCycled the rest.  The towels tooked brand new and had "Sears" tags on them, and I paid $4 for the whole box so that was a good bargain. 

For myself I got two books - both are Canadian authors, and neither appears to have been even opened - $1 for the two of them.  A spool of 1000m of Gutermann thread for a quarter, and a vintage letter opener (an advertising giveaway from Clark's Flour and Feed in Watford - I wonder what their phone number is now??  I don't think dialing '39' is gonna cut it) for a quarter.  I thought it would be a handy little tool for poking out corners.

I'm working on Clue 5 of the Quilts of Valor mystery, and the Block of the month for Simple Scrappy Treasures.  Not much else going on around here.  Tomorrow's looking like a brighter day!
