I think I've mentioned a time or two, we love living in a smaller, more rural area - Paso Robles has 25,000 people, give or take, and while that may sound like a lot, many stores won't move here when they can go 100 miles north, south or east and build in a bigger city. I love to sew, and with the exception of Beverly's Fabrics we don't have much at all to choose from - so I've called on my daughter in law to help me a few times. She not only has a friend who owns a store, she finds some IN CRED IBLE deals.
This is my $32 box of stuff she bought for me!!! 40+ patterns!! AND - - -
Tons and tons of ribbons, laces, zippers!!! AND - - -
Almost 100 lace insets, sequins, tassels, tracing paper, buttons, patches, and all kids of pretty material.
She will go into a fabric store, or thrift store, and they may have an entire bag of zippers, all new, but out of the packages (thanks for helping!!), or a bag of patches, buttons, ribbon and lace, another time a big bag of material. So here's the deal I made with her - I'll pay for the bags - $2 to $5, she takes what she wants out and sends me the rest after she fills up a new big box!! Good deal for both of us!!
They work and live in the Denver Metro Area - so lots and lots of stores to choose from. Thank you, Kim! You,re a sweetheart! And I love you very much!
I'm in the middle of making some really sweet things for Valentine's Day I will share with you all tomorrow!
Have a wonderful Thursday - the weekend is coming!!
Blessings,
Donna

ReplyDeleteGosh Donna, it's like Christmas again only better 'cause you'l be enjoying creating with all these goodies for a long time!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!!!
Thanks for sharing with the newbie party.
ReplyDeleteI would love to find deals like that. I have at times found things at garage sales, and after I go through the box maybe only keep a couple of things. I can then bundle things and put in my own sale. Nothing lost........but that stash looks awesome.
