LUCKY YOU! This is going to keep you busy for a while. Have fun!
How sad for the person whose stuff had to be sold. I'm willing mine to two friends.

If you could locate her, she might want to buy it from you. That would make her happy and give you money to buy other things.

Makes me happy knowing you are happy.

Congratulations! That should keep you busy for a long time.

Congrats on the major find!!

My sister finds these auctions as well. I have more zippers than I can use in a lifetime and that was only 25% of her zipper haul at one auction. At the same time it's sad and reminds me to USE MY STUFF!

Nice day that was! Like hitting a Quilter's Lottery Jackpot!! Congrats.

Wow I'd say that's a score ! I need to start going to estate sales again, used to go when I could, but haven't lately ...
Only sad thing is that teacher who's still without her retirement quilt ... is there some way to locate her, through the school, then she could have it quilted ?? :(

Great deal! Plus you have the satisfaction of knowing these items won't go to waste. I've gotten great buys at estate and yard sales, also hit it big with yarn.

Kerry, I was thinking the same thing when I read your reply.

Very nice! I love estate sales. Haven't found any sewing related items, but hope I will one day.
