Driving home from the fabric store one day, I notice what I thought might have been a treasure in an alley, to pull off a discover it was only trash! And as I turned around to get back on the main road I spotted what looked like a bolt sticking out of a dumpster, so of coarse I stopped to take a look. There were TWO bolts of Knoll Textiles, fabric dumped, still in plastic, waiting for me.I had to back our car up to the dumpster and use the bumper as a boost, to get in the dumpster to pull off bags of garbage, to be able to pull out the heavy bolts of fabric! I shoved them in the car and drove home happy as a lark.
I can't ever find nice gray fabric at our fabric store, I'm always looking. So who can believe that I just found two bolts, 45 yards of beautiful , expensive fabric. The fabric is still sold by Knoll a is $29 a yard, so that means I found over $1300, worth of fabric!
So now I have no excuse to not start or finish a project, I've got enough fabric to upholster anything I may possibly bring home.
You lucky duck!
ReplyDeleteSo incredibly jealous of that find!! WOW!! http://trulyyoursdesignnet.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThese types of finds make me wonder if the employees were planning on getting it later...My Father finds stuff all the time {extension ladder, huge tool chest with the keys still taped inside, tiles, shelves...}
ReplyDeleteI think it is time to start perusing the dumpsters myself...I once found a cat tower still in the box, which my cat is sleeping on right now, but haven't looked in a while.
:D
