The only one I could find today was not far from home and in a warehouse, the ad said everything that was more than two weeks in the store was 75% off to make room for two new estates coming in. Well, don't believe everything you read. This was an overstuffed warehouse in an industrial park and there were no prices on anything so how do you know if it a reduced price? Where will the new stuff go? The prices were kind of high on most everything we asked about. Maybe I will go back in a couple of weeks and ask for a price on the same things I asked about today.
I did purchase a few things, an old square tin for $3, a yard long picture of songbirds on a feeder for $8, a piece of vintage scarf fabric for $5, 8 Little Golden books for $5 and a really neat old wooden three drawer file cabinet for only $20.
I really like the old tin but I think it may become part of the Quester raffle prize I was trying to put together.
The picture replaced a wooden shelf that I recently hung in my kitchen that just didn't fit the space. I cleaned the picture and I like it a lot, now when there are no real birds in the yard at my feeders I can see a picture.
Not too sure what will happen to the fabric, it has a black background around the edges and paisleys (60's return) with an ivory center each square is about 12 inches and I got about three yards.
The little Golden Books fascinated me, my favorite is the Pokey Little Puppy that I read and re-read to my daughter (now 38) so many times that I could recite it backwards, I remember my Grandpa reading it to me. The strangest thing about the little books is that I have never seen them before and the speaker for my Quester chapter meeting that was cancelled last week due to snow was going to speak about those books. We have rescheduled the meeting for this Wednesday, I may stick the remaining 7 books in the raffle prize. I plan to put a ribbon on the Pokey Little Puppy and put it with my Christmas ornaments.
More on the fabulous file cabinet later. I just love it! Can't believe the reasonable price she gave me for that, I didn't even quibble.
Quibble, great word, don't know where I pulled that from, not one of my normal words.
Signing off, I hope you have a lovely evening, come again soon.
It sounds like you found some wonderful treasures, the filing cabinet sounds really interesting. I do remember the Pokey Little Puppy. Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by.
