Good morning, as you might have already realized we love to create whether it is crochet, knit, sewing or just about any craft. That being said we are also thrifty love to shop for bargains, clearance racks, thrift stores, church bazaar/rummage sales & now, we have craigslist.....I have a post that asks for yarn, thread, buttons, material etc...unused that is either free or cheap. I have had a couple really good bargains.
A couple months ago a young man responded with all his Granny's yarn. He said he had recently lost his Granny and knew she would want it to go to someone that would put it to good use. It was a huge rubbermaid tub stuffed full of yarn....$20. Then, a lady just gave me two of the plastic grocery bags full of yarn. Then, a gentleman responded that buys out abandoned storage units...another freebie. Last night I picked up 122 6" hand crocheted granny squares, 6 full skeins of "i love this yarn", 3 partial skeins of "i love this yarn", 20 crocheted needles various sizes, 2 plastic tapestry needles in a case & 2 yarn holders one hard plastic and one soft plastic that has the little hole so the yarn can (should) be kitty safe...all for $20 ; )
I'm so excited...as if I were a little girl at Christmas ; ) not sure what I will work on today. I almost forgot to share this, yesterday I got an email from one of the photographer's that I am working with. She is planning an event on 2/11/12 and has invited me to join her bringing some of the articles I have for sale...hopefully, bringing in more sales. So, I probably should get busy (on something)
Thanks for your interest.
Have a great day & God bless you,
Jamie
