..is someone else's treasure. A while back, I was walking my kids to school and it was garbage day! There was a pile of stuff at the curb of a house that had just sold, so of course we started digging through it. The kids scored a fabulous rock collection, very fancy labeled rocks. And I scored this treasure packed box of goodies. I have always wanted a gromet tool and there were two different sizes in there, along with lots of gromets. I also found a classic metal seam gauge, just like the one Grandma Tag had back in the day. I couldn't have been more excited, and my girls learned to dumpster dive. A lifelong skill!

Lisa, This is so funny. I was at our neighbor's estate sale and found a box of just about the same stuff for $3...and I thought I scored! You win! Good job!
ReplyDeleteSee you at Quilt Club. Tracy
Score! I have one of those sliding rulers. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI felt a little silly getting so excited about someone else's garbage. Glad I'm no the only one!
ReplyDeleteVery fun! I like the skills you are teaching your kids. :-)
