i just got back and i can't believe all the crap i saw. people used to give away old baby clothes to others with new babies. they were called hand-me-downs, and people used them and passed them on. now they try to sell those garments with formula stains on them. what in the world are they thinking? it's one thing to get them free, use them, and say goodbye to them. it's something else to have to pay money for them. creased, damaged and formula stained. isn't anyone charitable? it makes me feel sick that people won't give anything up even though they can't use them anymore. and some of this stuff is, like, years old. you see the kids it belonged to and they're six or seven already. give the stuff to a charity already. at the end of the day, it all gets left at the sidewalk for the trashmen. so nobody wins. how sad is that!
all i could find worth buying was an old embroidered tablecloth with matching napkins. it has stains, but i think i can get blocks with careful cutting. and one panel of cowboy-horsey-southwestern type print. the panel was a dime and the tablecloth w/nappies was 50 cents. i also found, for $2, a shelf cabinet, with a swivel top shelf. it's really a tv stand, but very sturdy wood. and heeeeavy! on four fat caster wheels.
i will attach the swivel part to make it secure and stick the whole thing under my big board, at the very end, shelves outward. there must be something (hehe!) i can store in those shelves. my dh is so happy to see more furniture go into my cave. NOT!
i got some other things but not sew or quilt related. a nice long walk on a gorgeous day. and stuff. it doesn't get any better, does it?
