A few weeks back somebody won 23 rubbermaid totes of fabric on Ebay for just a few cents a pound. I was soooo green with envy :mrgreen: :lol:
ooohhhh... I was wondering what you mean by your comment in the other thread, because I do make clothing and quilts and sell them on ebay! :lol: No, that wasn't me! I bet it cost a fortune to ship.
New Zealand has always been #1 on my list of places to visit, especially the southern parts. When my grandma died, she left me a stack of books by Essie Summers, a NZ author who wrote paperback romances about family life set in interesting places in NZ. I have no idea why she collected those, but they were obviously well-loved books, and I have reread them many times.
