Wow, the Ides of March must have been a lucky day! I'm visiting my daughter & her family & my sister also came for a visit. So yeterday my sister & I were in a thrift store looking at their one piece of fabric when a wonderful stranger told us of another thrift shop a couple of miles away that carries lots of fabric. So with her directions we found it and hit gold.
Most of the fabric was not useful to us but I found 12 yds ($1 yd) great for making Christmas stockings for the soldiers (our group does it as a big project).
Plus an industrial size spool, probably 10,000 yds of pure casmere crochet yarn from Scotland for $3
And the most wonderful-Rowenta steam generator iron, brand new in box with manual for $7.00!!!
we took a chance that is was working & it does, wonderful day.
