I was looking for pretty cloth napkins for a big block pattern seen this hankie in a zip lock bag with a "S" on didn't need it but for .10 I got came home and took it out of the bag and SURPRISED!!!!! 2. $100 dollar bills fell out( doing happy dance) money for fabric this weekend at large flea market. Beleive me this is not my luck. Still think about the lady that hide it there.

wow!!! enjoy!!!

Wow. What luck. Are you going shopping now?

There is nothing better than "found" money.

What fun!!

There is a feather weight at the flea market for $200 works looks good case a little rough is this a good price?

wow...... really that is better then found money...
I am sure you had to take a double take of that!

Boy, oh boy what a windfall??!!!

:thumbup: :thumbup:

monie: buy yourself something with the money.A gift for you.

I found a bunch of $20s rolled up in wrapping paper once.

That is great!!!!!

that must have been a big surprise.

WOW I thought my $71.00 find in the pocket of a Goodwill skirt was a great deal.

Perhaps you could use (at least) some of the money to pay for charity quilt fabric...

we have done estate clean outs and we always tell people to check everything, even shoes. While we were there they were packing up clothes for donation and they found several 100 dollars stuffed in the mans shoes. they were so happy we told them to look.

That should be a happy dance

Guess that S was for $.

Yes! Run...do not walk...and spend your "free" money :mrgreen:

I have heard of jewelry scotch-taped to the outside back of dresser drawers, found by people who had bought the piece and were refinishing it. All kinds of hiding places.

I once found a large stash of $$ in a pair of old drapes at a benefit sale. Did NOT know how much was there. Turned the money in and received a reward of $1000 a few weeks later. About 4 years later received word that I had inherited the money that was in the drapes. Received a check for $5000 about 9 months later.....Yes....FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'!

Heard of a family cleaning out their Mother's closets and kept finding balls of tissues in her sweaters, coats and the robe, and threw away the tissues. Went to her jewelery box and couldn't find certain items. Yep, she wrapped them in tissues and 'hid' them in her pockets. We found money in Mother's clothes too, when she moved into a condo. We told her and she said you didn't find it all! We don't know if she found it then but when she passed away, we found money.

OMG that's awesome!!!

Estate sale last week sold 2 duffle bags with 750.00 in side pocket.

Used to help with the school rummage sales. One of the other ladies working would always check all the donated purses - always found money in some of them. Donated it to the cause - made the event even more sucessful.

Oh you lucky thing now you can buy more fabric and do another happy dance for me.I found 10.00 in an old pair of shorts I bought at a Christian Clothing Store.

Wow! These are amazing stories! makes me want to run to an estate sale! (not that I really need an excuse to do that!)

Since the money wasn't intentionally sold with the hankie, maybe it should have been returned to the seller?

I once kept a five dollar bill that I found in a pair of pants that I bought from a church thrift store and have felt guilty ever since. I wish I'd returned it to the store now.

I have never found any money but my fiends grandma used to wrap her hundreds in foil and put them in ho ho boxes in the deep freeze.. She said it was safer than the bank and the robbers would never think to look there.. LOL

Fantastic find!

buy a lottery ticket. Yeah! I heard that the older generations hide money every where.

I am proud of you! I think that $200 was for something else, not to be sold. JMO. Edie

The cases don't last as well as the machine. If the machine is in good shape, that is a good price. I paid twice as much and my case is on the shabby side.

What a wonderful "gift"

Just me but I think I would feel a little guilty that the seller did not know and would probably return it.

Lucky you!

WOW! I need to really check out the garage sales in my area. What a great find for you! Post pictures of your treasured stash you buy with the money.

Hey Im not old but I do have 'stashes' around for rainy days..

I had some of purses ready to give to a thrift store. Just as they were about to go out the door I decided to check the inside pockets. I found $300 of my own money in one of the pockets. I did the happy dance.

for years my mom cautioned: "when i die, never just toss things out. look in everything! check out every item." when she passed, i was helping dad with her things, and found over $3,000 to give to him. (it eventually purchased their headstone). i was able to assure him that even from beyond the grave, mom was taking care of him... and when he died, my kids moved into the folk's old house. when they were moving stuff in dad's workshop in the basement, they found another stash of coins and silver, antique bills, etc. that had been my grandmother's. i'm still wondering what we'll find in mom's old antiques. she had even hidden cash in some of her music boxes that weren't designed to hold things.

life is a scavenger hunt...

My great aunt, my aunt and my father called me Svenska flicka!!! Edie
