Oh, yay! I'd been wondering if I'd missed it this year.

(reposted from Team Wench Events) "What will you be doing on Saturday morning while you wait for Amazon to deliver Harry Potter? Come to Team Wench's Prepare for Fair Yardsale! Located just a mile off the DC Beltway, we're going to have lots of wonderful things for sale at prices you'd never see in the stores or at the Renfaire. We've got: - Two all-metal sewing machines. Still working, and liable to outlive us all! Strong as horses and easier to care for. - An antique treadle sewing machine. A real beauty, and with an intriguing box of attachments. - Antique laces and trims. Antique jet and shell buttons. - Modern laces, buttons, fasteners, and trims. Soutache! Sequins! Piping! - A full pirate wench costume (shirt, bodice, belt, skirt, petticoat, in shades of white, burgandy and forest green) size 14. - A sage green Irish dress with gold-tone fasteners, size 20-22. - Hanks and bags of bugle and seed beads, in just about every color of the rainbow. I'm even donating some of my old competition costumes at firesale prices. Maybe you don't want to wear them, but oh, the things you can have if you buy them and take them home for parts! Six yards of white fur trim. Panels of hand-painted silk and satin plenty large enough to work into a bodice. Yards of hand-worked bead trim attached to a ribbon that could easily be shifted to some of your garb. All this, in addition to baskets, sewing patterns, fabrics, and - for the non-faire folk among you and your friends there are also all sorts of goodies like: - A Japanese-style jewelry box, still in good enough condition to be a little girl's present. - A white synthetic suede couch slipcover (machine washable, if you want to make a "suede" costume out of it.) - A tan-and-white cotton armchair slipcover (machine washable, with more than enough fabric to make nobles) Come down to Berwyn Heights and see!
