I went to the McHenry Library sale today and only spent $3.50. I didn't find any manga books or video games. Kind of disappointing. I did find a quilting book and a few other books. If you were looking for kids books, they were 25 cents each. Paperbacks were 50 cents and hardcovers were $1. The prices were good. I just wish they had more books that I was looking for.
I stopped at 2 estate sales in Cary. At the first one, I bought a vintage goldtone pin for $2. I knew that it had a name on it, but didn't really look until I got home. It was Kramer. I didn't know the name so I looked it up in my jewelry book. Kramer made pins until the 1970's and the ones shown in the book were with rhinestones or other stones. So, it's a good name. I'll hang on to it and wear it. The second sale was a Caring Transitions sale. The house was FULL. I only found a needlepoint with roses for $4. It is the perfect size to make a pillow. I think that was the original purpose of the piece. I am going to make a pillow from it after I finish Austin's quilt. Which, by the way, is almost done. I only have the binding to finish. I'll post a picture when I finish it.
Thursday April 26th at 3pm is the First Presbyterian Church rummage sale on Route 47. I haven't been to a sale at the church since they were located in downtown Woodstock. They moved to this location a while ago.
