I saw a girl in Goodwill carrying around a sewing basket almost the same as this today & when I saw it in the linkup, I thought it was her! I'm sure she paid much, much more for it than you did. Good deal! <br /><br />& one day when they had $1 clothes sale, peeps were buying everything buy the cart full & the housewares section was bliss! I bought one thing from housewares & got to jump the line infront of 3 people who had packed to the brim buggies. It was bliss.
