So my children and I went back to the South Whitley Garage sales. It wasn't as much fun today as I had to drive around (vs my husband driving me) and it rained. Not the entire day, but it put a major damper on things. I got some scrap yarn...in skeins and all...just none 2 alike. I've got some projects that perhaps I'll do and sell at a craft show. I've never done a craft show...but maybe? At least I only spent $5.50 for about 10 skeins.
I also bought a box of basket making supplies along with a ton of pattern books. I counted 19 handles (which are typically $3-4 each and up from there! So it was a good deal considering I only paid $10 for the box! They had another box for $10 which I almost bought...but we walked down the street so I could think about it. It was gone when we got back. Guess it wasn't meant to be. That box had a plastic divided relish tray & base in it--so someone had the idea of making a relish tray basket/liner. The thing that was pulling me back to buy it was that there were two larger handles which are typically about $5 each. I've now got A LOT of basket stuff! That will be some work! But it's better than buying it all from the local lady. Not that I won't be buying some stuff from the local lady--but when you're unemployed--the funds are limited! Other than that we didn't get much! My 17 yr old bought some jewelery and my 9 yr old bought a couple little things. My 15 yr old son didn't find a thing. He was a good sport about it all.
Awe well, it was fun. I'm bushed. I'm starting to learn that the way I'm garage sale-ing is becoming more work!
