How nice is that! You got quite a haul.
How wonderful that you found all of this great stuff at a yard sale--amazing! Wish I could find a haul like that!
Good Grief, what a haul. If you need to get rid of tradional quilting stuff to make room, just call!!! Hope to see a lot of arty stuff in the near future. maz
Hi Beth was this at the yard sale hosted by the family of a LAFTA member? If so, I just knew it was going to be one mighty awesome sale but if you got this, my imagination says it was waaayyy more than even I could ever imagine :)
Yes, the yard sale was the one put on by the family of a LAFTA member. Believe it or not, I actually did leave some goodies for others. If I had had a truck, though, there wouldn't have been much!
WOW! That is a heckofa lot of cool stuff. If you run out of room - I do have that storage building and it isn't quite full. Hah!
well yeee-haw little lady. I almost went to that. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I didn't!
Oh. My. You lucky, lucky lady, you!!
Hmmm....this is bordering on bragging! What a haul!
