Meanwhile, I thought I saw a sterling demi-tasse set in the thrift today. "Made in China" .... boo. At least one of us scored.
No need; I know tool guys and quilters ... aka me. It's a Law of Crafting that the thing you tossed last week because you'd never use it is the...
Aka at current melt, about $1100 just for the tray. WHEEEEE!
But... he might need it again, and it's cheaper to store the old one than to go buy a new one. (said every crafter ever born) Of course FINDING...
