A Weavers Dream of a Tag Sale

Don and I went to three tag sales today and there was an obvious "Weave" theme going on. The Universe sure was pointing me in the right direction for treasures that relate to Jude Hill's  Considering Weave group! The best part is that most of the items were anywhere from 10 cents to $5.00. The prices were crazy reasonable, which is great because money has been tight lately.

Look at all these treasures! And most of it was just priced at dollar or two and under! The wall planters and loom were the most expensive at $5.00. Happy dance!!

  
I am totally in love with this little table top loom I got for $5.00



 The little hand looms in the basket and the square ones were in a box with the yarn for $1.00


Check out this amazing antique Knitting Needles box with the ruler markings I got for .50 cents!


Lots of embroidery floss

 I fell in love with these antique blocks

Beautiful platter signed by the potter on the back

Plus the lovely old box with the dividers, the baskets, one filled with old wooden clothes pins, woven mats and all the hoops for embroidery and weaving. 

It was a good day all around!

  2. Wow! I am going to find out where you live, sneak into your house and steal that knitting needles box/case. I've never seen one like that before. The little square loom with the pins sticking up on all four sides is a Weave-It. Are you familiar with them? They're a special way of weaving with them that is absolutely ingenious. You've inspired me. I need to do a post about those little looms. Wow!

    1. No, Linda, I am clueless as to how to use any of these looms, I would love to learn how to use both the square ones and the tiny round ones in the basket. Please keep me in the "Loop" if you do a post on it. I am excited to read about how to use it.

  3. Wow! Nicely done. Love those hampers with lids. And the platter. The blue loom looks like a potholder loom. I had one as a child. Have fun.

    1. I think you are right about the blue one, Beth, I remember those stretchy bands that we kids used to weave potholders with.
