Garage Sale Finds...I Think I Hit the Jackpot!

A couple weeks ago I thought I was fortunate to come across a couple of boxes full of crochet magazines, books and patterns, and when I asked how much, I was told $4 for both boxes!  It took me two days to go through it all!  I found magazines such as Workbasket, Crochet Fantasy, Annie's Pattern Club, etc...many, many different kinds of magazines, books and patterns all dating from the 1940's through the 1990's!  The following picture shows only the one box after I've gone through everything and kept what I want...what's pictured here is going on eBay...

Now, as luck will have it, Heath and I were out garage-saling this past Saturday (Sept. 19, 2009)...can you believe I found even more crochet books/patterns/magazines!?!?!?  It would be too much of a mess to spread them all out and try to take pictures of them all, but for $22.50 I got both boxes FULL, and about 10 hard cover crochet pattern books (not pictured)...and to think that I hit the jackpot the last time???  LOL!  This find was AWESOME!  There was so much more at the sale, too, but I had a limited amount of cash on me at the time.   Ah well!

Here's a picture of the two boxes described above...

And below is a close-up picture of a very small handful of the magazines I got between the two garage sales:

It pays to garage sale!
