      Oooh, that's a great idea! I'm wondering if that might help sell the next one that we get... because it's only a matter of time before we do

    Sell the weights to quilters or sewers. Great for holding fabric in place while cutting patterns.

    The wooden baby bed organizer is a good item for someone who can use it in their storage area to stack items on. Also, the thrift store sells wine glasses for $8 each, especially during the holidays so that is a good find.

    • @FlippinTheMitten

      @@FlippinTheMitten Wonder if you heard of checking out college clean out days. College kids throw out all kinds of great items at end of year.

      Of course, if it’s allowed in your area.

    • @FlippinTheMitten

      That does come up sometimes, but it keeps getting forgotten about. We know someone that sees the aftermath of college clean out days -they have mentioned it to us and we have been reminded here in the comments, but still haven't managed to put it on the agenda. So, thank you again for mentioning that! I think I would love picking/treasure hunting at college clean out time

    With those college books that you got check your local college they have a bookstore you can sell them to this and make some money off of it students are always looking for books like that or you can put it online marketplace.
