Hubbie and I went to Goodwill yesterday. I was looking for a light colored scarf to display my pins on at the upcoming NWPCG Artisan show. I always browse the aisles while there, you never know what you will find.
I really got lucky..... I found an Atlas Pasta Machine! Unfortunately it did not have a crank. That did not stop me .... I took it to the counter and was able to get a 50% reduction from $24.99 to $12.50. The great thing is that when I got home I found that I have a crank that fits it .... Now I just have to determine if it is in good working order. That will have to wait until after the show though.
The other big score was a box of dominoes - the good kind, not the cheap plastic they make now days. I have seen (and own) some wonderful transfers onto dominoes, so I been looking out for them every time I visit a thrift store. There were 72 of them in the box for only $3.99 .... I am waddling the two step with my happy feet on cloud 9.
So what am I doing today? I should be getting ready for the show. Instead, I am trolling You Tube and finding so many ways to decorate dominoes besides picture transfer ... maybe if I finish my tagging I can try one of the techniques out.
Great finds Julee, I would love another pasta machine then I could have one for light clay and one for dark and hope cross contamination wouldn't happen so often. Look forward to seeing what you do with the dominoes.
