It does break my heart to see it in garage sales and so on. There's a warehouse near my mom's house in Delaware that is full of people's estate items, household goods that people have sold them. Last time I was there, they had lots of L&L pieces for $30 or so. The time and effort that goes into them, and then framed, only going for $30.

I haven't been garage saling of in a thrift shop in a while. I figure if I don't go, I don't spend money.

I have found some really nicely stitched and custom framed pieces @ Goodwill for $2-4. I usually always buy them because it makes me almost sad that something someone spent the time to make and paid to have custom framed ended up someplace for $2. Maybe its because I know from experience how much work goes into making a piece and how much it costs, esp if its stretched, matted & framed professionally.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208566267255097756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865121664017247301.post-35796775265173673602010-03-16T07:40:34.806-07:002010-03-16T07:40:34.806-07:00Oh definitely!

I rescue stitching if I like it - although sometimes only for the frame - and if I don't want to keep it, I give it away to a good home through my blog.<br /><br />I rescue UFOs in charity shops too, on occasion - just last week I picked up two barely started Lanarte kits of Tutankamun and Nefertiti which will go nicely with my other Egyptian stuff.<br /><br />Now all I need is to be able to buy time in the same stores!Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915479560572642825noreply@blogger.com
