I spied a small wicker basket filled with sewing notions and a 3 shelf stainless steel cart on wheels as well as a June Taylor "Quilter's Square n Blocker". When I asked about a price for these 3 items she said whatever. Then she said that if I was interested in sewing "junk"...(her very words), to go into a small closet off the kitchen door. OMG. The lady who had lived there had been a QUILTER. The only drawback was there was no electricity in the house and that tiny room was pitch black. That didn't deter me one little bit...I went and got my flashlight out of the car. And spent the next 3 hours amassing my stash in the empty bedroom next door!!! Would you believe that there was no one else interested in this?? A few stuck their head in, took a look and backed out again. Finally, I was getting tired and decided to call it quits...it was overwhelming by that time. The next 9 pictures shows what I got for $105.00. BTW, I had to go to an ATM and transfer the money from my savings to checking to a cash withdrawal because she wouldn't take a check. Here's the first three...

That is just a fantastic find. I'll bet it will keep you busy for a very long time. Just imagine the hands that assembled this stash and all of those tools. I particularly love the little plastic box with all of the yoyo's inside. You really SCORED!
|
I think you got a great deal!! I'm so happy for you!
|
Motherlode there. You are so lucky. We just don't have those good fabric sales here. We have 110 in our guild and all up to their 80's. LOL. WE just live long lives. ROFL. Thanks for sharing.
|
What a story and I believe you made out like a bandit!! You would have paid more than that at the store for just the rulers and mats alone!! Pays to be an early bird I guess. Or is it "if you snooze you lose"?
|
Wonderful score! Love that "Cozy sewing room" cross stitch. I'm sure the original owner would be glad that someone who appreciates her things got them. Congratulations
|
Wow! I'm glad it went to someone who will use it.

No one so far has said what first came to *my* mind when you posted all this (and yes, OMG!!! what a find!): If I were you (and money is really tight for me, as well), I'd separate out the items I could absolutely not live without from those I could and sell the rest on ebay. That's just how my mind is thinking these days.... -- Jillaine |
That has got to be the grab of the century. What a stash, what a haul. You must have had the good fairy on your back that day.
|
What a find! Hope I find something like that this summer at garage sales! Lucky you!
|
Happy Days are here again! Lucky you and Have a ball!
|
Wow - oh - Wow. Congratulations on the find and yet so sad that the sale was for someones possessions of pride that a family member could care less about. I work with a lady who did the exact same thing, sold everything her MIL had and NOW regrets it big time as she's become a quilter too!!! She comments all the time, I could have had that!!!
|
Wow good find
|
OMG you bought an entire store! A once in a lifetime event and you found it! Quilters envy, big time!
|
I have that cozy sewing room cross stitch set. I've been trying to finish it for 20 years!!! It's my lifelong project. I feel connected to you!!!

awsome fined
