Default my awesome thrift store score!

Wow, while I was visiting my family in Ohio, I hit a Village Thrift Store and scored big time! I got 7.5 yards of pink with tiny white leaves and stems, 4 yds. of blue and pink floral, 4 of small yellow floral, 4 of dress weight denim, a new queen size navy blue sheet, a twin sheet in narrow yellow stripe and a twin in narrow tan stripe. All this for only $8.00!!! Six of the pieces were marked $1.50 and most were half-priced color tickets. The 7 1/2 yd. pink piece was marked $2.00.
I am attaching a photo of my score although the white on the pink doesn't really show up, nor does the narrow white stripes on the yellow and tan sheets, which are 100% cotton(as is the navy blue sheet).

Awesome Bargain!
I've found great bargains in Charity Shops and Jumble Sales. You just never know what you could find in the most unlikely place.
