BSA Church Rummage Sale

And this, my friends, is what I call a Yarnalicious haul from a Boy Scouts rummage sale. 

For a grand total of $12, I gained these two bags of yarn, a 1950s Bible, and a kit shown below, all to sell on eBay. 

Will you look at that vista of items? It is enough to make a seller tear up. 😿There was an entire circular table filled with yarn. I snagged all of the banded ones, even if they were singles. 

The piece de resistance is this kit. You know I have a penchant for completing another crafter's unfinished work. Only problem with this kit, I do not know how to crochet.

For some reason, I like to list yarn. Of all the items I list for sale, yarn is the first to be listed. Easy to photograph, easy to describe. The quickest category to sell items. At this last listing session, I bought the yarn at hospice thrift in the morning, listed it that afternoon, and the lot of 3 skeins New England Shetland wool sold the next day. 

For my investment, these recent yarn listings total $360 on eBay. This will help fund the last of the wedding expenses. 💒 

Crochet and Church Rummage Sales

While I do not crochet, I do sell crocheted pieces on eBay. Here are a couple of cute pieces from the 1985 Carry-Along Crochet publication. First up, Bert and Ernie - even more adorable in crochet. Representing the letter C for the A to Z Challenge.

These burgundy beauties were just listed.

Church rummage sales are the best. The pricing is the best. There are many surprises to be found. 

This one was held last month at the St. Katharine Drexel Parish. I made it to half off second day, best buy a box of Diane China for $2.50. We are collecting China plates at thrift for my daughter's wedding this fall. Other than that I picked up a few books, and a skosh of fabric.
