A thrift store purchase

Post by calicopuzzle » Wed Aug 13, 2008 3:40 pm

Stopped in at the Salvation Army store across the street from the car dealer where my husband takes the car for it's check up--look what I found while waiting.....All my thread in one place for only $24.95

Large white file cabinets on the left are old issues of Quilter's Newsletter Magazines--starting with Issue #3, and Traditional Quilt Magazines early issues and until the company folded several years ago...etc. Some of these old mags have some really great pattern ideas. The cabinet on the right is rotary rulers in the top 3 drawers, then rotary cutting supplies and scissors, table clips, patterns in one large file drawer--folders of ideas etc. and the bottom drawer is patterns for clothing sewing etc. etc. etc.

Way cool! I wonder what its original use was?

Now please explain your white cabinets - fabric storage?
