Last Saturday we were in the middle of a triple whammy pickin' day -- yard/garage sales first, antique stores second and finishing up with an auction. Mid-morning we ended up on a total wild goose chase when we got hooked into following for signs for a moving sale way out in the country. We followed those signs for miles and found the road, but never found the sale. I will say the person put a lot into the signs though.
I had a feeling that the next sale we found would yield pure gold!
The next thing we found was a big sale in some type of mechanics parking lot. I saw a big, white, metal birdcage that I liked but could not decide where I would put it in my "storage shed". We went back and forth talking about how much to offer, what I would do with it, etc. As we strolled along and looked at the other things for sale, I spied something pretty unique in the world of crocheted/knitted objects.
I started to shake for I have never encountered anything like this before; yet, SO finally said, "NO...I'm not going to negotiate the price..." Here is the now-fabled item:
I'm sure you are wondering: it includes plastic nipples that seem to be from baby bottles.
And, while SO wouldn't haggle over this lovely item, I couldn't leave without trying. It was marked $5 and can you believe they wouldn't come off that price???
