I went to a living estate sale down the street & found this thread. It was all in one of those older plastic sewing containers. It was pretty heavy when I picked it up & it looked like there was quite a bit of thread but I never thought there would be this much. There were 16 large cones
7 small cones 8 small spools
27 mini spools 5 bobbins w/thread
46 large spools some elastic
7 lge metallic sewing needles
6 lge varigated

I got all this for $12.00. It was a man doing the sale & either he didn't check with anyone how much thread was worth or he just wanted to get rid of it. Of course, DH was with & asked "what are you going to do with all that?" Now is that a dumb question or what!

At the same sale I also got two boxes of cleaning supplies, laundry soap, some sponge cloths,& other misc. items all for $7.00. Plus for $3.00 I got a box of over 100 page protectors & about seven packs of index dividers. We went after it had been open for an hour & now I wish I had gone right away. It was a good day in the neighborhood!
