I have done the "kicking myself". A few years ago I saw a Featherweight in an antique store for $25. I must have lost my mind because instead of buying it and ordering the power cord replacement that it needed, I told the owner how valuable it was and where he could get the parts to repair it. I chalk it up to being the end of a very hot, tiring day. I was upset with myself for months. Hope someone got it and loves it. I already had a FW so at least that is a consolation.

As many others on the board have said, there had to be a reason that I chose the 2nd rack that day. It must have been so that SHE could find that quilt. I wish her well with it. I truly believe in fate stepping in at times.

I was in a thrift store on Sat. and they just happen ot have a $5.00 a bag (13 gal. size). WELL, I filled up two of them with mens dress shirts, quilt idea floating around in my head and other projects using them. No ties there, but did find a thrift store the other day with ties for $0.25 each. They had hundreds of ties. Anyone want me to ship them a variety at cost?

Sorry you missed out, but I am sure you will find something just as nice next time. It probably was meant to be.
At one of our thrift stores, they have a sign posted that if an item does not have a price on it, it cannot be sold that day. I think that policy is crazy.
