Official freebie scorer of the day?  That’s me!  I was super excited about my free dress form.  It was going to be my first purchase of the day…at our very first stop….for a whopping $2.00.  
My husband asked if they had change for a twenty and instead of going to get change the lady said to just take them (dress form and metal shelf)!  Made my day!

    You two are pros! I think the dress forms puts you over the top though, what a find and a deal. Our church is having their bi-annual rummage sale, I'm hoping to find some furniture for our new craft room we are putting together. Wish me luck!
