Wonderful Finds!

OK, since I don't think many people on my friend's list for my journal would appreciate this news, I will come to the girls who will the most.

Today there was a yard sale down the street from me. So my Grandpa and I go to see what she is offering. It was supposed to start at 4:30 but we asked if we could look and she said no problem. Well I bet she was happy we did. When I walked into the yard, I noticed tonnes of stained glass glass and supplies. I noted it in my head to look at it for my mom, but went for me stuff first (books and beads....). When I found a few books and no beads, I wandered over to the stained glass. There was this foiler contraption. I decided to phone to see if my mom needed it (she's not living in town anymore...). I got my dad, and my mom's not home . After a short conversation, telling him she wants $300 for everything (she told me when I asked how much the foiler thing was), he tells me to ask the lady if she'd take $250. I ask, and she says $275. I converse with my dad again.....and I decided that was well worth it.

Here's what I got for $275....the foiler contraption, a grinding machine, a light box, a temp control for a sodering iron, foil rolls, glass pliers, many things that I don't know what they are, a HUGE pile of pattern books, papers and magazines.....and tonnes and tonnes of glass. Everything filled my Grandpa's truck to take it to our property for safe keeping. I wish I didn't ruin my camera the other weekend or else I would be taking pics to show my find.

The lady also had a Singer Tiny Serger so I bought it for $5.00...the price on it was $74.97...I'm happy with it (I don't know if it works or how good of a machine it is, but hell, I'll give it a shot).

Sorry to fill your friend's pages...but I couldn't keep this to myself!
