I am having this garage sale to clear up some space to have a garage sale.

I went to the sale this morning. Oh what fun. Grandma 58 has a wide variety of fabrics and other sewing related items. She let me view her studio and she has more fabric in there then I think I've ever owned in my entire life. I also got to see some of her work, very beautiful. The piece she's used for her avatar here is absolutely gorgeous (the photo doesn't do is justice. As for the zippers I did buy 10 or so but didn't even begin to put a dent in to her stash. I met some of my friends there and they also purchased some zippers, still not a dent put in the supply.

Have you heard of traveling salesmen? Well, pack up and head East. You could do quite a bit of selling along the way I would think, and just think of all the QB members your would meet. :)
