Last day for the Giveaway and the Sally Ann Auction

Today is the last day of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway (insert sad face here). It's been a lot of fun reading everyone's comments and reading a lot of your blogs!   I'll be entering some more tonight.  If you haven't done so already, you may also enter my giveaway through SMS and then go back to Sew Mama Sew to see other awesome stuff.

Alright, today's post is about today's Salvation Army auction.  It starts at 6pm and here are some goodies that you can bid on. 

There's always a sewing machine up for grabs

Yay for Fisher Price

So there's an eye missing...  that's ok

Look at the date on this one

These goodies came from the Sally Ann on 1225 Kennedy Road.  If you like what you see, drop by and make a bid. Proceeds go to a needy cause so everybody wins!

Have a great weekend and I will post again this Sunday with the SMS winner's info.

Thrift Store Finds

On my way to get my new iron, the kids and I stopped off at the Salvation Army to check out the goods.   They were pretty amused by some of the tackier things but I was hoping to find a chair to upholster (yes... I know I still have to start/finish the other one...).   As I was walking in, I thought I had found it but the guy carrying it wasn't an employee - he just bought it.

No matter, we had fun looking around.  We found some vintage sewing machines and the one at the bottom left looks just like the one I grew up with.

I also saw these two dress forms.   Fred Flinstone is sitting on the couch.

Hubby zoned in on this hairdryer.  Looks like all of our moms had one of these in the 70s? 

Last but not least, check out this bolt of jersey.  I didn't measure what was on it but for $24, you get a brand new bolt of grey jersey.  I have no idea how much fabric was wrapped up but I'm guessing that it's more than 24m.  What a steal!

I left empty handed... resisted the urge to sanitize my kids... and went on to buy my new iron.  I'll have to come back again for the chair -  maybe after I'm done with the one I already have.
