Another exciting busy and fun day!

Well we were off again this morning a girl friend and I and we went in pursuit of treasures only to be found at rummage/yard/garage sales... Even though I thought I hit the mother load yesterday with my fabric discoveries... Well I have to tell you I did almost as well as yesterday. Today I came home with 21 yards of fabric (all quilting fabrics) for the grand total price of $1.75. It all just came out of the dryer and so I think tomorrow I will spend a part of the day pressing the 50+ yards of fabric that I have purchased in the last 2 days. So for a bit over $5.00 I am the proud owner of a bit over 50 yards of new fabrics!!! Of course I found a couple of other small treasures... 2 King Size Sheet sets for $2.00 and a cheese shredder. The rest of the afternoon I have spent right here working on getting this darn puter working right. Some things are now right on the money while others still have a bit of a problem. As long as I can get on RCTQ I am a happy woman!

Well I am going to keep on working on perfecting the system here and touch in an out through out the evening... I will be playing catch up with some of the messages here... but looking forward. juliasb

How do you find these sales? Every garage sale I manage to drag my DH to has a few dented pots and pans, old shoes, odd ashtrays and old children's toys, etc.

Please - next time you're going to a garage sale - can I come too? (Metaphorically speaking of course... but I want some of this!!)

We call it "rummaging" and it sure is fun. Went rummaging last weekend with my DGD, DD#1, and a friend of theirs the other day. Spent $3 and got a bunch of great clothes for DGD, a set of heart shaped plates for me, a coffee maker for DD#1, a candle holder for DD#1, some clothes for DD#1, and a bunch of other stuff. It was great. Oh - I forgot the 3 bags of costume for DGD to play with. All for the same $3.

When DGD's hot pink cast started to itch (right at the elbow where even a coat hanger can't get to it), we went so Sonic for Limades and ice cream. That cost $9.

So, for a total of $12, I had a priceless morning!

I don't have to cook tonight - I cooked last night because DH took a nap all afternoon so he started his chores late. So, tonight he cooks!

Congrats on all the good finds Julia. I do the same thing - ask for fabric first then take a quick scan of the rest.

Our big day in Missouri are Wednesdays. Haven't really had a chance to hit many sales this year at all. Didn't realize how much I was missing them till I read your post.
