Today I actually got out of the apartment and walked on down to the nearby Savers, on a day that was a bit too warm for even a cardigan. And oh what a treasure and fantastic deal I found!
I got FOUR great serging books for $3 each:
Serger Secrets (A Rodale Sewing Book)
The Ulimate Serger Answer Guide by N. Baker, G. Brown and C. Kacynski
The Complete Serger Handbook by Chris James (signed!)
Serge with Confidence by Nancy Zieman
Two handmade, wooden boxes; one Dominican Republic Cigar box and the other with in-laid wood design that reminds me so much of the Arts and Crafts movement. But the creme de la creme piece, the "I cannot believe someone has not already swooped in for this", was a bag listed for $3 containing four, 50g skeins of Elsebeth Lavold's Cable Cotton!!! The original price tags were still on, listed for $6.25 for one 50g skein, which means someone originally paid $25 for this and I got it for $3 (pre-tax dollars)! That is a discount of 88% off the original price. Sometimes I really love my hording gene. :)
