I was glad the Springdale auction was indoors, I attended two outdoor estate auctions years ago in Arkansas and nearly died from the heat! The ribbons are a great find, I would have snapped them up too. They would look great grouped together on a wall.The Thriftaholic (Leilani)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02105619277913578745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-77373233351482474952009-08-26T12:09:27.788-05:002009-08-26T12:09:27.788-05:00Those RIBBONS!

It's amazing what you can find in those box lots! Some of my coolest finds have been from estate auctions (some I paid a dollar or two for, but I paid dearly for some others too). Also, I have a bunch of vintage fair ribbons too (got for a buck at a flea market). I have seen beautiful quilts made out of them; what will you plan to do with them? Please show us when you figure something creative to do with them!PocketChangenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-25102055799630477542009-08-24T09:20:53.256-05:002009-08-24T09:20:53.256-05:00That melted candle is too funny.
