My husband and I finally went on an outing we've been looking forward to for a while, but haven't gotten around to. We went to Leaf's Treehouse - a local flea market/antique shop. People rent spaces in there and sell their wares - it's huge and lots of fun to poke around in and find lots of treasures! We wandered around most of the store and found ourselves in a small niche at the back when I spotted something that looked quite familiar.
"That's funny - it looks like a table runner I made for the quilt shop, then later sold. I wonder who bought the kit and make one like it." Then I looked closer. "Wow, they quilted it like I did. That looks pretty good!"
Then I picked up the end and looked at it really close...."Wait a minute! This is the one I made! How much are they asking for it?"
$65.00 - I don't remember, but I hope I got at least that much out of it - it was a lot of work!
I'm not really too sure how I feel about it, but it sure was an interesting find! It has obviously been well cared for because it still looks as beautiful as when I sold it....I guess you never expect to find something you worked hard to create for sale in a flea market.
