Recent finds at the goodwill outlet this week --
pic 1 -- take warning this is a real pet peeve of mine -- these handmade goods are something very special to me due to the remembrances of my heritage --
this particular one was in the bins -- 110 x 120 inch hand crochet bed cover -- a real beauty -- except the former owner was a real pig -- when one thinks of the hours their love one spent crocheting this beauty and they tossed it on the table -- ate like pigs and gave it away to goodwill as a real goner -- coffee and food stains so bad i had no choice but to dye it the color of the most prominent stain -- it spent yesterday in my washer for 10 hours in a dye bath -- she's perfect for the master bedroom as the expresso browns are the theme color --
pic 2 -- this one i had taken off a wedding dress last summer -- the skirt was a goner -- again no respect to the article worn -- i was able to save the top and wore it to a wedding last summer with a camisole underneath -- i felt like queen victoria herself -- and it got the raves -- great spirit lefter for me
pic 3 & 4 -- this is an expandable hard shell black leather briefcase by american avenue -- the company is still in existence today and their briefcases can command some high prices -- the problem was -- it was locked and they could not get inside -- ted & always take a chance on these -- sometimes they are total trash -- this one was as clean as a whistle inside -- perhaps in ted's and my next life we will be cat burglars -- both can pick locks or figure the tumblers -- guess those years spent with the crime lab did pay off

ditto with yours also sean
Gotta give it to ya, you &Red are AMAZING :-). Great job on all these. I could use the briefcase myself but could of never figured that lock out. SWEET Find
(chuckles) I meant Ted not Red. This phone spells on it's own, if I don't catch it in time, it can mess things all up. Sorry for the TYPO. ;-)
thanks jay -- ya right blame the phone -- hope you have a great week
