   I picked up a Singer 403 Sewing machine at the local thrift shop for less than $50. Works great! Also found some lovely retro tablecloths, aprons, and vintage sheets there. I love thrift stores!

   Flea Market Find: quilting cotton yardage of older non-designer prints – some had stains – priced at anywhere from 50 cents to a $1 – I negotiated less for the ones that had stains – the guy also gave me some small pieces just because, he said, “lady you are nice and pleasant”. After washing and ironing, my mother and I had some nice quilt backings (queen/king) for $1. The work to wash and press was well worth it.
   Some of our best finds were from the garbage dump… a story for another day.

   I found an old ironing board for $2. I use it as and extra “table” for plants or an extra serving station.

   I love to find old crochet hooks or sewing implements. Old books are high on my list as well! And always on the lookout for nice wall planters.

    Hi! I’ve found a beautiful roll top desk which I gave to my nephew when he went to collage,a filing cabinet which is very wide and perfect for keeping my stash of fabrics in. Also some ladderback chairs and a danish dresser.

    All my friends seem to go and find all kinds of great things: fabric with wonder under already on it, purse parts, jewelry bits for embellishing etc. I was just given a wooden quilt rack that one dear friend found at a sale and thought I might like it. I on the other hand don’t get out enough, but I did find an angel food cake pan for 25 cents.

    I got a giraffe hand puppet from a random garage sale and I named him Rupert. He does a very funny voice and goes on all my adventures with me!

    On a trip to Seattle to visit a friend, we went to a huge flea market. I found an AWESOME pair of cowboy boots, just my sizes for $45. I call them my ‘fancy boots’ and wear then for special occasions!
