I had completely forgotten
the sale that made me break my rules was being held in two parts and this weekend was round two. Many thanks to my blog friend Laurie (
Magpie Ethel) for reminding me!
They opened up the basement this weekend and this was truly a hoarder house of quilting, lace trims and childrens' books. A lot of it wasn't priced so it was kind of tough picking since you had to dig the boxes then haul it around until you could find someone to price it. Many treasures to be had for the stout-hearted and strong-kneed. Is kneed a word? Hmm. The fabric completely overwhelmed me and I didn't even try. That is something I really need to learn more about.
I got a ton of rick-rack and other trims, tiny Shiny Brite ornaments and a sweet Christmas deer, wooden spools, decals, die cuts and something new for me - children's story books. Renee, those are YOUR fault - hehe! And in case you're wondering... YES, I did go before I did the housework and no, the universe did not crack open. Imagine!
