Tightly closed plastic trash bags laid out in the sun a few days will cook bugs.

What a fun sale. I wouldn't let bugs scare me away either... With all the crap coming into this country from China now, we can get bugs from anything.

I once found a pile of lovely fabrics from the 30's at an estate sale-- feedsacks and yard goods! They were such a treasure, all in lovely condition like new. I can't bring myself to do anything with them, besides just collect them!

I have a great new washer and dryer set that "sanitizes" the clothes. I'd make that my first stop after finds like that. Or there is always the big freezer for a few days.

Good for you on the lucky estate sale; I have run across the bug problem a time or two in the past, so my current fix is to put them straight into the washer when I get home. The freezer and garbage bag in the sun had never occurred to me. Thanks, ladies.....Jo Ann
