knitta please!
My mom called me at 9:30 this morning to inform me that she had stumbled upon a big jar of knitting needles at a garage sale asked if I wanted them. Um, only always. So she comes home with this:
Sure, some are bent and others mismatched, but there are still a lot of needles that can be used. Whatever I already have is getting passed onto Lauren and whoever else that wants any. There are a lot of 1's, 2's, 4's, and 6's, so once I get a complete inventory, that will be shared.
When I went out with mom this morning/early afternoon, we didn't have as much luck, but I did end up with a pretty kick-ass magazine rack for $3. It's hard to explain, but it's going to get Amanda-fied with some paint and/or decoupage once I figure out what it wants to be. I also found a few cute pieces of glassware for $.10 each. Got 7 pieces total, and they're stemmed with blue/green "cup" parts. Two small ice cream cup-types, 3 smaller and 2 larger parfait-style pieces. I don't know if they're actually parfait pieces, but I don't know how else to describe them. Cute nonetheless. I saw a breadmaker at the same sale for $2, and anybody who knows me well knows that I've been wanting a breadmaker for quite a while. Unfortunately, it was in gross condition and there were bits of dough stuck in the machine. Thanks, but no thanks. That was the big disappointment du jour.
Du Jour means safety! Du Jour means seat belts!
