I just got back from an estate sale and am so excited! There was a sewing room full!!! I only got one bin of fabric for $6.00, all browns and other women ahead of me got the rest and there were 2 closets full. Wish i could have got there a little earlier. However her quilting books had no price and apparently no one had asked. I grabbed up 12 books and took them to the checkout. Cost $2.00/ book!!!! I got Volume 1,2, and 3 of Better Homes and Gardens Quilt -Lovers Favorites,Quilting with Fons and Porter, 365 Fun to stitch Quilt Blocks, Debbie Mumm's Quick Country Quilts for Every Room, The Thimbleberries Guid For Weekend Quilters, Quilting Pieces of the Past, and 3 books from Rodale's Successful Quilting Library. $ 2.00/each! I'm a happy camper!

Awesome find!
|
sounds like you hit the jackpot
|
You really found some great deals :D:D:D
|
Wow!! That is awesome!
|
I am so :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Good for you :thumbup:
|
I also got a recipe box filled with favorite recipes she had hand written for only a dollar. That made me sad that no one in her family wanted to keep her recipes labeled "Aunt Betsie's Chocolate Pecan Pie", Susan's Delicious meatloaf", etc. Surely someone in that family will wish they had some of these recipes to carry on traditions, don't you think?

I use to do Estate Sales and I grieve over the many wonderful things that I sold that I could use today. I wasn't or didn't have time to sew then and I didn't buy things either - at least not until the last day.
I found a great garage sale one day - I found a quilter that was selling off all her stash. She had about 50 boxes of ironed folded unused fabric. All sorted by color and standing on end so it was easy to see. I went through and pulled some of all colors and then made up 3 boxes to buy. She was selling it $1 a piece and they were 1-2 yard pieces. I should have bought it all, but had no where to put it. :( |
Congrats on your great finds!!

Good deal!!! I'm afraid to go to estate sales...I'm out of room in my sewing room!!! LOL :mrgreen:
|
A couple of years ago, I was at an estate sale and in the garage there was boxes and boxes full of all kinds of different books. I actually found a box that was full of quilting books. So, I grabbed the whole box and told them I would give them $20 for the whole box. They said yes, I couldn't believe it. There was 25-30 books in it. I was in heaven!
|
what is the little lady on your site? Is it a wall hanging you made???
Really, really cute. I have to get ready for the Giants Rangers game...Go Giants!!!!!!! |
Awesome find. I am usually too late to get any good bargains. Glad for you and hope you enjoy.
