Yesterday, about 5 minutes after I arrived at the DC Big Flea, my sister calls me and tells me to head on over to Aisle D STAT. Her tone said, "I mean it!" When someone who totally groks you commands something like that, you obey.
Good thing I did! I scored 34 of these metal mini hardware drawers—some with bonus rusty hardware in them. They interlock, so are ripe for myriad combinations. Janet's booth ROCKED with loads of amazing items! The best part: when I (of course) asked "How much for all of them?", she started laughing and said, "Your sister TOLD ME you'd say that!"
As if you wouldn't have bought all of them....
Absolutely fabulous! and, yes, I would have bought them all!!

I am fairly swooning. Not only would I have bought them all, I would have a hard time parting with a single one of them!

Oh my gosh, I just bought the exact same set this weekend in east Texas! Same orangey fronts and everything. Sadly, the bottom row of mine is all rusty and I'm afraid I'll destroy the drawers trying to get them open. Such a shame, as that's where all the weight seems to be. Stacks of gold coins, no doubt.

That is an amazing find. Your sister was great in finding the drawers. So many uses. Thanks for sharing

Perfect. I would have done exactly the same thing!

You've struck gold (or rust) once again! And here I was feeling all smug for scoring 25 non-matching sewing machine drawers. Once again, I'm bowing down to your greatness... and your sister's too! AWESOME!

High Five on the Hardware Bins and of coarse I would have bought them all! My Friend Geno recently gave me a heads-up on an Amazing 'Score' that he didn't have room for, I Love it when Pickin' Partners graciously Share Info and keep their eyes peeled for the Stuff of our Dreams as well.

What a great blog and a wonderful post. We've been passing the winter with a little Armchair Junking.
EDITED: Since you posted the same comment on two posts, and 2 links to your own blogposts, I've removed the second instance.
