<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 54923, member: 210"]What do you all look for at sales that you like to keep? Obviously, I like to keep some of my jewelry. But I look for old every-day linens, love finding the old dish towels made in the USA, new old stock or gently used. They are so much thicker and really hold up. I also buy the old chantilly? tufted bedspreads, have a pink and white one on my bed now that I got for $5. Had a small hole, no biggie, stitched it up. I got an older stainless Oneida set today for $5 (hubby is always using our flatware for home-repair projects, always buying more at yard sales.) I will be on the prowl for older cotton sheets, the kind that make you feel cool when you sleep on them. I don't like the newer sheets. There is a whole blog dedicated to this subject, people looking for "granny's sheets." I also like to look for old Corelle dishes and casseroles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
