Guess where I went back to today? The grocers that had these magazine racks. Got 11 more for total of $12.10 ! ... I also went to that thrift shop, where I got the blue and white Waverly fabric. I got this piece today. I though it would make nice table scarves or runner , with embroidery. Look what I paid for it. Going to put it in the washing machine, before I go back to work. See you later-Toogie

Toogie, you need to take all of us shopping with you!! You always find the best deals and bargains! That was really exciting that they had more of those "thingys" with the wood frame. Congrats on your wonderful haul:)

When I got there, I looked at the end display where I had found the others. There wasn't but a few and they were pushed back, behind other stuff. I picked those up and was about to leave, when I walked around the next aisle and there were all of these!

This would be something different than the regular small sized flashlight, keychains,candy,etc the bus drivers usually get. Maybe they could line it with a plastic grocery bag,and get the kids to throw their trash/candypapers in.?????????????????

Not a chance!!!! :-P

Can I ask what you use the racks for?

by toogie 27 Aug 2014
Anything you want to. I have my husbands blood pressure cuff machine in his. You can put your hand work/needle work. I thought about rolled up towels in the bath or even to put out extra rolls of toilet paper.Anyone else have ideas????????????????
by Leaha 27 Aug 2014
They are great to go bags for a little something to keep ones hands busy when in a waiting room at a hospital or the drs.

They also work to carry stuff in the car that can roll around or migrates under the seats.

What a great find. What is the store name, in case I have one here in town? I could use a few of the magazine racks myself!

I like you words-lol- My niece said her MIL wouldn't buy unless it was 'On Sale' and her mom wouldn't buy unless it was 'Clearance'.-lol- Taught her well, I'd say.

Nice find Toogie! What will you do with your burlap? I finally purchased that Mr and Mrs design on savvy stitches. I hope to get that sewn on my piece of burlap, like the picture on sew forum to frame. That's a great deal on everything!

It's not burlap, and for the life of me, I can't recall the name of this fabric.( My sister is worried about HER memory, or lack of it, I should say. Listen to me, I'm as bad as she is) I love those designs. I am making that for my newlyweds for a christmas present.
by bevintex 29 Aug 2014
osnaburg-kind of like a lighter burlap
