if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll know already that the strangest things happen to me. another one to add to the list ;) although not so big as some of the others.
on saturday, i worked a couple of hours at the shop. towards the end of my shift, a lady rushed in to the store with a bunch of bags. she just came from an estate sale or auction or something that she was running and the knitting stuff hadn’t sold, and she just wanted to get rid of it to someone who would appreciate it. so i bought it.
i was first sold by the sight of these two vintage knitting bags
then i was enamored with all of the old wooden needles poking out of a sock
and lastly, there was some old wool
and some newer wool
how could i resist?!?
Boy you really lucked out! I love the bags & am amazed at all the notions! :) Nice find! Right place + right time = score! :)
It is a special talent to able to get estate sellers to come to you! What a nice catch.
lucky duck!
Wow, it’s like you have a special gravitational pull just wool.
I wish I had that. :)
SCORE!!!!
you are a lucky girl indeed!
The bags alone are worth it, you lucky duck!
The bags alone are way cool. When ever someone feels the urge to give me yarn like this it’s usually acrylic….You scored!
I once bought a knitting folding bag thingy with a box full of needles and acrylic yarn. When I pulled it all out there was a compact and some blush! I was 1/2 hoping there would have been some cash….
It was kinda cute though, I tried to picture the little old lady that this must of come from…
What great luck! Love the bags.
Wow, how lucky! The bags themselves are awesome enough on their own!
