This past weekend saw the "World's Largest Garage Sale" sponsored by the Cancer Society in the Twin Cities. I rode up with my parents and we met up with my sister and her husband for the festivities. We stayed overnight in a hotel with a pool (Yay!) and were up bright and early to wait in the line. We got to stand indoors while the line stretched clear around the building, and did I mention the sale was held in an empty, two story Macy's-ish department store in a mall? It is HUGE! The crowd was getting a little antsy as 10:00 approached and my Dad predicted the morning's headline in the newspaper! We all carried our own cell phones and SCATTERED once inside the door! I headed straight for the fabric section and found some nice trims, an Amish knitting board, some knitting needles, and this fabulous, colorful and obnoxious polyester fabric! It is just begging to be made into some tacky bags! I also came away with a really pretty tin with a picture of Queen Elizabeth II. I was washing it this morning and it was in fact a collectable biscuit tin from her coronation! So I think that is pretty neat! I'm sure I'll find something important to store in it!
