Sshhhh....

I think I made a scoop! I am not very good at frequenting 2nd hand stores (mostly cause I'm too lazy to actually shop by the "search and ye shall find" method), but a few days ago I ventured into the one here in town. I hadn't been in the store for more than a few minutes when my eyes fell on this box:

It looked old and forgotten, the sort of thing you'd find in your grandma's attic if she had one. I had to have a peep inside, a lo and behold, it was a box full of old fashioned sewing patterns! All the patterns were in really good shape and I am guessing they are from the 50's. Included in the box was a DIY "this is how you make a pattern fit your shape" book from 1954! (I know there is a word for that, but right now, way past my bedtime, I can't find it in the back of my head!)

I honestly believe I have made quite the scoop, paying the silly price of 30 kr ($5,23 or 3,43 GP) for the entire box! I paid real fast before they realized the huge mistake they were making, and quickly carried the box like a dear treasure to the safety of my car.

Now, I don't really have the time to revel over my find, as we are truly packing our lives into boxes these days, but it will almost be like christmas when I sometime in the future open up that box and actually have time to look through the patterns and choose one for a dress or skirt.
