OH I am paying for it today believe me but I really enjoyed being out of the house and it felt so wonderful to be out in the public again. I can not tell you how many times I was asked what happened to me and how in the world did I get it. But I didnt mind because I could interact with folks and I could also let them know what the power of prayer can do! But there were not that many folks selling quilts or wall hangings but the few that were did very beautiful work!

Holy Cow! You got a great deal, and I'm happy for your good fortune, but it's so sad to imagine how tough things must be for that woman to take such a big loss on her excellent work. Where I live, that sort of product would sell very well at local craft shows.

Good Grief! What a deal for those beautiful stockings.

These were the cutest stockings I had ever seen and were hand made by the lady selling them.

I paid $2 each for them!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

They are all handmade and embroidered with a lining on the inside. How she was making money on them I have no idea but they are beautiful and she did some really nice work. She also had some utilitarian hand tied quilts for $10 and I started to get a couple of them just because they were so wonderfully made and I liked the fact that I could enjoy them for years to come. I have some photos of the yard sale and the tons of things I came home with from there but I will make that another post.


Billy

are you SURE they weren't $20.00 each?????????????
they would have been cheap at that price!!!
