Sometimes you get the feeling that you are making the right decision at the right time. It’s been almost 72 hours since my last post and since then I have bought a new serger and sold my other ones. I’ll admit a tiny bit of me was sad to see the little green sergers go. My new serger is making me deliriously happy, though.
After I made my purchase, I stopped at my two favorite thrift stores, which are at the same end of town as the sewing store. Look what I scored!
I just love the colors so much, I may never use them. They remind me of neapolitan ice cream. Is it weird to decorate with spools of serger thread?

Congratulations!! She’s a beauty!
As for decorating with serger thread? Absolutely! I’ve seen pics where people hang the cones on a rack on the wall and the colors are just amazing. Gotta love it when function (storage) is fashionable (colorful decorating).
Congratulations – both on the new machine, and the great thrifting finds!
Definitely not weird to decorate with notions. I do that all the time
(Even though my husband thinks I’m just a slob who doesn’t clean up after she’s done with the sewing hahaha)
Congratulations on your new Jane. She looks very lovely and dependable.
I’m dying to know: what are your two favorite thrift stores?
