I am very active with my sons old school and I am still a member of the PTO. Every year we have a spring and fall yard sale. This weekend is the sale and I am working getting everything organized and priced well as I was going through some of the bags of clothes and bedding I found a beautiful hand sewn quilt.
I know the lady who donated the things and was wondering why she would give up a family heirloom. But she said she had way too many things in her home and if I wanted it she would be honored knowing that I had it.
Of course I will make a sizable donation to the PTO fund raiser like I always do so its not like I am getting it for free.
Last fall I missed a nearly brand new Singer 500A in a maple cabinet with all of the accessories for $25. :evil: Oh well I picked up a treadle and a Singer 27 the year before for $15!
I will post photos of it when I bring it home Saturday. I am soooo Happy!!!!
