blue printed fabric - $1
knitting needles - $1.70 for both
brown cross stitch fabric - 80 cents
Plus Mom called from the thrift earlier this week and said she found a $3 bag of a knitting needles and did I want them? Knitting needles run about $4 to $6 a pair. She said there were 11 pairs of needles in the bag. Um, yeah I wanted them! (serial knitters will tell you that you are defined by your needle collection ;) )
My craft room (and whole house for that matter) is getting a bit over crowded. I need to have a garage sale. Not easy in Queens, let me tell you. I was thinking the other day that we need a website that is for swapping/selling your thrifted items to other thrifters around the world. Does anyone know of a website like that?? I'm looking for one run but bloggers and not like an Ebay type site.
cheers

PS - I added a few new links to fellow thrifters. I plan to add more through out the week! Check them out

I love the blue print fabric.I think there is a blog called "thrift barter buy',but I have not thoroughly explored it.
If you ever swing by the Northern Virginia side of DC, I'll tell you a bunch of great thrift stores within five miles of my house. Thrifting is great here, because people get rid of so much nice stuff. I used to try the Goodwill, I guess it was, in Queens, and it was, as you've noticed, very picked-over.
