Look for Supplies at Yard Sales

Hello fellow crafters,
This morning I woke up early and hit a few yard sales. I haven't been to a yard sale in months and I didn't really expect to find anything, but today I hit the Motherload!!! I got what must have been over $100 worth of MOHAIR and WOOL for $4. I also got a bag of crochet thread for 50 cents!!!

Then I went to another yard sale and asked a woman if she had any knitting or crochet stuff and she said, here I have this whole giant garbage bag full of yarn. You can have it for $2. I was thrilled beyond belief!!!! I was trying NOT to show my enthusiasm because I didn't want her to raise the price.

My advice to all you crafters out there, hit the yard sales, tag sales, Estate sales in your neck of the woods. You NEVER know what you are going to find. There were lots of baskets, Christmas stuff, fabric yo-yos, ribbon, fabric. But I was only interested in the YARN this time around.

All in all I spent less that $25.00 and got enough yarn to keep me out of MICHAELS and JOANNS for a while, a sterling silver necklace, a really nice piece of agate or marble encased in sterling silver, a lucite bracelet with pink rhinestones, a cake decorating book, a garnish making book and 2 Halloween Costumes complete in the bag and never been opened!!! I do realize I will have to put the Halloween Costumes someplace I can remember when October rolls around, but for $2 each they were a bargain!!!
