freebies and not-so-freebies!

so in the last week or so, i have continued accumulating more crap that i do not need...
b u t . . .
it is all totally awesome so check this out! here are some treats from the hoarding house:


i did need more tracing paper, and i am a total sucker for packaging...


and this cool-tool for marking patterns without destroying them with a tracing wheel!


a button spacer (awesome!) and button holder


seriously- its like they invented this for carpal tunnel. if you have it, you need this tool!


and the best. apron. ever.

and then i went estate/garage sale-ing and to the flea market with tyler and i snagged up these treats and more:

$10 for all these hats!


tons of new brooches and pins and sweater clips... even though it is currently 100 degrees outside with a heat index of 4,000, they were all maybe $15 total!

and i also got 4 skirts from the 1940s, an evening gown from the 1930s, a party dress from the 1950s, a robe from the 1940s, a fonzi puzzle, some necklaces and a chef hat!
now, here is the BEST FREEBIE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE:

i KNOW! its friggin' awesome!!!!!

  3. i was soooo shocked when she gave it to me! i was gonna offer to buy it, but if you saw all the crap in that house i am sorting out, i guess it makes sense!

  4. if it's a house full of stuff, you're doing her a favour! it has to find it's way back into the world somehow. but that machine looks like it's never been used!
