One crazy long week...
Can I be cloned, please? I need to be in too many places, all at the same time.
I'm tired, I'm nearly falling sick again, and I have too many committments that somehow keep falling onto my schedule without my permission and screwing up the plans I make!
Anybody know how that happens??
If you don't hear from me again till Monday, have a great weekend. Monday is a holiday for us US gov't-type peoples, so I'm hoping to get some pictures of my latest rummage-sale find posted and shared!
An antique Japanese silk reeling device. The whole darn thing. In working order.
I love the church rummage sales in my neighborhood!
Take a wild guess how much it cost?
The comment that comes closest to the actual price wins a prize!
What kind?
Silk, of course.
I'll bet it cost $2 -- it's amazing what bargains you get at rummage sales!

ReplyDeleteYou found a zakuri at a church rummage sale? Gad. I'm going to guess a dollar.
And it is amazing what you can get at sales. We got a $1500 Mettler scale for $15 because the people were tired of converting from ounces to grams.
I'm saying five bucks.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so jealous I almost hate you. You going into sericulture now? I hear mulberry trees need lots of sun.
My guess is 6.75
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky person....

I'm going with 8 dollars. I'm thinking they A) didn't know what it was and B) thought it would need to be cleaned up and repaired. I'm also thinking you haggled a bit. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing 15$. Your church rummage sale has much cooler stuff than the last two in my neighbourhood. Lucky duck.
ReplyDeleteHeello mate nice post
