As a few of you may know, I LOVE thrift store shopping. It's my "resale therapy". I've even been known to play hookey from work for a few hours here and there to hit a 50% off sale at Value Village or Salvation Army Thrift Stores. I hit thrift stores when I travel too...because you just never know what will turn up where....like gorgeous mint condition Dale of Norway sweaters in Montgomery Alabama....like I said...you just NEVER know. So yesterday i cruised through my favorite Sally's (Salvation Army) in Eagle River. I've been lucky there. Last year I found two bags of Rowen DK wool..one in dark purple, one in lavender. Yesterday...I saw this.....
Interesting...circa 1970 I'd guess....but let's look inside.....
Do you believe it.....mint condition Boye Needlemaster set....needles size 2-15....all cords...adapters...chuck key...everything.....intact.....
It was 50% off.......I paid $4.25. That's enough of a score to make any cheapskate happy! Whooooohooooo!

What a deal! I have a friend who lives in the Santa Monica area and finds the most incredible deals on merino and cashmere sweaters in the area's thrift stores. The thrift store closest to me is the most drab, dingy and depressing place.
SCORE!
How cool is that -- and you get it in a "vintage" case to boot.
I have today's version of the Boye Needlemaster set, but I look at yours, and the contents have not changed, just the container.
So satisfying to find something like that.
Good going!
MY GAWD!! That is so fabulous. Lisa, except for the blood & guts thing (eww..blood!), we could be clones. I adore thrift stores.
