I love cruising the aisles of thrift stores to see what I can find.

* 6x24 ruler ... $2
* heavy duty wooden 24" shelf with a towel/quilt bar below ... $5 ... it;s now next to my ironing centre so the shelf can hold spray cans of water, best press, starch. The rod will either hold strips as I iron them. I'm also thinking of making a hanging bag with pockets for odds and ends of things. And the obvious use ... make a small quilt to hang from it!
* assorted quilt racks!
* sometimes fabric, but seldom ... I think those that work there grab it up any of the "good" stuff when they see it.
* yards of a autumn print that will be perfect for a OBW/SAW sometime (My one yardage score!)
* large plastic tote ... $2
* a huge bag of ties ... $2 ... one shop had a "stuff a bag for a twoney day" ... and I scooped every tie in site! I keep watching for that sale again
