The Textile Museum is hosting their Yard Sale again!
The museum collects donations throughout the year, from individuals and from businesses (like fancy schmancy decorating stores), and it is all organized and put out for sale. It’s usually a wonderful smorgasbord of stuff: upholstery samples, quilting fabric, yarn, needles, antique lace….you name it. Plus, while standing in line (it’s VERY popular) you meet a wonderful folks with a wide array of interests. The conversations you strike up are fascinating. Note that all of the good stuff doesn’t go at the start: they usually put out fresh stuff throughout the sale….so there’s always something new to see.
Many many years ago i worked across the street from the museum and would arrange my breaks/lunch for multiple trips to the annual sale. If you’re going to be in/near Toronto, consider heading over!
