Today we headed out early, leaving home about 6:30. One of the church sales began at 6!
We hit nearly a dozen sales and found something at most of them. I even got to talk football at one!
Among my finds are:
A food processor:
Just like the one I have but a bit smaller and complete! The kids get my old one!
Some fabric:
I have some fun ideas for pieces of this already!
Some Quilting bits, not sure just what they are:
Several blouses and 3 more pair of shorts.
Some books:
An OLD Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, a Glenn Beck Common Sense and a couple Quilting books top my list!
2 printed aprons:
These were just too cute to pass up! One is watermelon and one is a gingerbread dude.
3 sewing patterns. 2 ladies had boxes of them I oculd have gotten really cheap but one was only baby stuff and the other... well I did not like the condition of the patterns or the boxes.
A lot of trims:
A really cute white shelf:
Not sure just what I will do with it, but the breakfast room is calling for it!
A tiny clock that looks like a lap top PC!
And several spools of Aluminum Yarn...
I have no clue what this is but the spools are really old looking. If anyone has ideas for this, please post them!
Hugs y'all!
Metallic Yarn:
ReplyDeleteThe most common uses for metallic fibers is upholstery fabric and textiles such as lamé and brocade. Many people also use metallic fibers in weaving and needlepoint. Increasingly common today are metaillic fibers in clothing, anything from party and evening wear to club clothing, cold weather and survival clothing, and everyday wear. Metallic yarns are woven, braided, and knit into many fashionable fabrics and trims. For additional variety, metallic yarns are twisted with other fibers such as wool, nylon, cotton, and synthetic blends to produce yarns which add novelty effects to the end cloth or trim.[8] Stainless steel and other metal fibers are used in communication lines such as phone lines and cable television lines. Stainless steel fibers are also used in carpets. They are dispersed throughout the carpet with other fibers so they are not detected. The presence of the fibers helps to conduct electricity so that the static shock is reduced. These types of carpets are often used in computer-use areas where the chance of producing static is much greater. Other uses include tire cord, missile nose cones, work clothing such as protective suits, space suits, and cut resistant gloves for butchers and other people working near bladed or dangerous machinery.
Quilting supplies:
Help with cutting pieces of material that are to be used in quilting in more uniform shapes/sizes, is what I imagine they are used for. :)
Great finds. You are a good garage saler!
