Old Valentines, $1.99. From the graphics, they look like maybe from the 1960s? About half of them hadn't been punched out yet, and envelopes were included. There were more valentines, but they looked much newer and not nearly as neat. Those will be going back to charity with my next donation.
This is a throw pillow, about 15" square. I think I've seen something similar in Country Living (which is obviously my design bible!) and I saw this one at Saver's several weeks ago. I didn't get it then, but when I went back on Friday it was still there, which I took as a sign that it was waiting for me. :) It is made out of pale pink fabric that has a slight sheen to it, almost like taffeta but I don't think it is. I suspect it is handmade, because the fabric is thin and I can see pencil lines on the reverse. It's stuffed with a square piece of foam and backed with pink fabric that doesn't even match at all, so I think what I need to do is use my handy seam ripper, remove the backing, and soak this in some Woolite to see if I can get rid of the pencil lines. Then I'll have to resew it to some better fabric. Shouldn't be too hard of a fix. I like how it looks kinda Shabby Chic. This one was $1.99.
This little gem is headed straight for eBay! It is a twin fitted bed sheet with a McDonald's pattern on it, and it is in almost perfect condition! One tiny tear up in a corner, but the colors are bright and graphics unfaded. It looks like it was hardly used. I did a little searching and a similar one sold in the last couple weeks for $38.00! Wow! Don't know if I can get that much, but even if I could make $10 off it, I'd be thrilled. This cost $3.99, and I think it was money well spent! I'll update here if I sell it. I'm going to list it this afternoon.
More later!
