I sell ultrasuede, yet still find buying the suede skirts at $.23 is much more fun to use up!

upholstery. One uph piece is light tourquiose -2 & half yd.

takers --then will give to thrift store. PM me

I wish I could by for 23¢.
Our thrift stores
(GoodWill, Salvation Army,& Miracle Hill)
have really gone wild with their prices
as much at $3. - $4 for shirts & blouses.
When every one is having to cut back because
of joblessness they have made it almost
impossible to buy from them - and they
receive donations - its not like they are
buying the stuff to sell
I do not see how families with 3-4 children
clothe them now.
