Rummage Sale madness

This morning I went to a rummage sale at a Methodist church- since it was the last day of the sale it was "bag day"- here's what I got for $5.  Not pictured are the metal toy bulldozer, a men's wool sweater begging for a shrinking, a pair of toddler shoes and a candle that looks like one of those heads from Easter Island.  All that stuff would have been a better photo I bet.  The close up is of a flat sheet for a crib, I couldn't pass it up, the embroidery is too cute.  It also came with a pillow case for a tiny crib pillow.  The sheet set was brand new with tags from who knows how long ago- what a find!
I plan on using the denim to make denim "yarn" for rug weaving.  Also the t-shirts will be used for their fabric to make new projects.  I have recently been making plant hangers- sort of faux macrame- with t-shirts.  I will post a "how to" later-
