Lucky you, sales around here are getting as expensive as stores. Nice find on the quilts - glad they will be appreciated the way they were meant to be.

It often depends on the time of day you go to a sale. I find that in "yuppie" neighborhoods if you go towards the end of the sale, the people are just tired of looking at the stuff and will give a good price as they don't want to haul it back into the house, or to donate it somewhere.
