Ok I had sworn off yard sales because I was buying to much for the house we didn't need.
But it really is a big fat lie. Today after dropping off Miss Baby with her parents
we hit a yard sale. This woman was a hooker, I found lots of frames but all I could find for
patterns etc was latch hook. ummm that can not be right.....
she did needle point and embroidery...
Still no hooks or patterns no wool...
nothing that says rug hooking.
This hoop has screws on the side to adjust to the fabric.....
Then I talked to her daughters who neither one has any interest in any of these crafts,told me it was
in her words "the tip of the iceburg". I will be going back. I am going to sell the
hoop the hoop on the stand and the purtain on the stand and keep the rest.
But for fun can you guess how much I paid for all of this?
(If any one is interested in any of this before I put it on ebay let me know)
I did hit a couple of thrifts this weekend I have more to show later but this sweet
pull toy was 1.00 and has made in west Germany on the bottom.
Miss Baby gave him a spin through the house.

you all made me feel very normal that I do not have a passion except
maybe my family.

Have a happy and safe fourth!

Good heavens woman you hit the mother load. Obviously you got it for a song and will be good profit for you on e-bay I'm sure.
I hated my Puritan and sold it an floor stand to a teacher for $75 and am sure she turned around and got much more for it than that.
I don't need any frames since I have a snapdragon as well as a Townsend floor frame, a couple sit-upons but would LOVE to know what you paid for it. Send me a note, would love to know.
So no regular hooking wool, linen patterns, or other stuff???

You are the "Yard Sale Diva" . . . I'll bet you spent $10.00 or under!
I sent you an email about your finds, Cathy! Great haul from the yard sale!!

Can't pass up a super deal!! Love the toy!!
Wowza! What a rug hooking haul!! I bet you didn't pay more than $20 for the whole lot! I just started one of Tom's rugs. Also, spent a full day at a rug hooking meeting. Too long! Are you staying cool up there?
Hope so!
