Frogs for Sale

First, thank you so much for your kind words about the craft room clean up. It's always nice to have hard work recognized! Grazie mille .

Because you were interested, I'm happy to keep those few cents eBay takes and sell these here. I was going to put them on eBay as a lot. I'd prefer not to have to make up eight invoices and eight boxes, etc. Most of the "Buy it Now" prices seem to be about $5-8 for the clear glass frogs and a little higher for the metals. I'd be really happy if someone took them all for $3 each. We can work something out. I'll charge actual shipping costs; my local post office doesn't let me ship for more than it should cost (always pushing first class over flat rate).

Gold metal and green metal. SOLD!

These are very heavy.

Large (about 4.5") and flatter. SOLD!

Small (3") with a higher dome. There are actually three of this type. SOLD!

I also have some old Sampler and Antique quarterly magazines if someone is interested. Back issues cost  $7. I can do $3 each. Or you can make me an offer for all of them: Fall and Winter 2002 and a complete set from 2003. SOLD!

Piecework: I would prefer to sell one year lots. I looked up the prices on these and they are crazy, ranging from $5-$24 each. But for you, special price, one year (six issues) $18. I have complete years from 2000-2010. I also have May/June, July/August, September/October, and November/December 1999.

Yard Sale News

You're too kind about my grandmother. Fortunately, I get my good genes from her, and my face looks well- pressed without the benefit of botox. Good thing 'cause I can't afford it. (I'll let you in on a secret: that's not her hair.) (Well, it is insofar as she owns it. LOL.)

I'm sorting through boxes in the basement gathering items for the neighborhood yard sale next Saturday (next week, I clean and price). I won't tell you some of the things I found down there* but I did come across a stack of crafting books I'm ready to part with. (Gee, they've only been in the basement for five years. So glad I moved them across country! To my credit, I did get rid of at least six boxes of craft books before we moved.) I've put them up there ^ on the page marked cleverly enough "sale page."

I will work on listing some charts soon.


*Let's just say collectibles from the honeymoon.

Big Sale in NH

Those who find themselves in or near Center Harbor, NH will find all kinds of excitement at the Keepsake Quilting Summer Tent Sale. (I'm pretty sure there's no Winter Tent Sale.) 70% off fabric! There are some allusions to the fact that it's more than just quilting. Knitters, you know them as Patternworks. Cross-stitchers recognize the name from Keepsake Needle Arts. (But the poor scrappers, Keepsake Paper Crafts is going out of business.) You can read about last year's fun here.

I can't be there this year, maybe next. I'll get my cousin the engineer (yes, she's gone back to work!) to start thinking about how best to cram fabric into a zip-top bag (apparently you can buy as much as you can get in a bag for $5.)

Highlights include a fabric auction, games, and great prices. Because in New England, people are cheap and you have to price things low.
