I've been saving up for a while and since it was my birthday I attended a short and sweet 3:00 in the afternoon auction just across the river
My knees were literally shaking with more than a dozen bidders crammed into a very small garage this afternoon, but I ended up with the highest bid and snagged 3 full stacks (each stack contained four,
3-drawer "cubes")of gorgeous floss in the original DMC cupboards-
Whoo whooo!
Now where to put them?

You can put them in my sewing room, I'll be happy to "store" them...what a haul! Congratulations.

What a great score! I go through a lot of floss doing cross stitch, would love to find something like this. I'm sure you had a Happy Birthday.
