unfortunately I was in the market for a used sewing machine in decent shape for a decent price. Did not find such. Well, did, but would almost rather buy a new one with a manual and all that jazz.

But yeah, I found one wonderful estate sale with a bunch of fantastic shoes in my size. Mine! And the lady took amazing care of everything. And then another garage sale with a lady selling off her hand painted Dr Scholl's from a local store. I happen to know that these shoes regularly retail for $160 new. Pictures later.
