S/O What to look for at LSS Garage sale

I would be looking for Sassafras Lass, Cosmo Cricket, Crate Paper, Pebbles and Making Memories.

I definitely look for older paper lines that I loved and missed, or those favourite brands that are out of business (for me, it's Sassafras Lass and Basic Grey).

I also look for stamps and basic punches...I can usually find good deals on these and will make use of them.

As someone else who is a long time scrapbooker with a stash that goes back for years, I try really hard to be selective. Sometimes it's hard to resist the good prices, but as someone who has trouble purging, I need to be careful what I bring in.

adhesives are always good ONLY if they haven't lost their stickiness. it's hard to tell when they are in packaging. foam is the worst. they may feel tacky but sometimes they are not tacky enough to hold for very long.

i like the older dies, too, for cutting thicker things. and who doesn't love paper? for me it's patterned cardstock. i can't get enough of that stuff. even if i can't use it on a page, i can turn it into an envelope for this or that.

i'm so jealous that you have an SB garage sale in your area. we don't have anymore stores much less those kinds of sales. i used to love going to them when the SB stores would host them.

I usually look for tools, stamps, dies, and embossing folders. I avoid stickers and adhesive since I don't how well the products have been stored. I always end up buying paper though. Can you say addicted?

I always go in looking for stamps, stencils, basic shim dies and brands such as Sassafrass Lass, Doodlebug and October Afternoon or collections that I missed out on in the past. I usually manage to grab a couple of of stampin up ink pads with the reinkers too.
Stamps are usually my biggest focus and then everything else.

I like finding old Scenic Route and KI Memories.

cmpeter- you that is exactly what it is.

We have these here. I tend to only buy paper lines that I don't have, or that are from companies that are out of business. Scenic Route, Basic Grey, KI Memories.

I just look for stuff that I like that I missed when it first came out. And I try to focus on stuff I know will match with my current stash.

i'm in SoCal too and i have an entire room full of stash.  and yet, i still find time to shop some more. your stash would be like an LSS to me even if i own the same stuff. LOL.  

Oh my gosh, I still have all of that in my stash. And Rebecca Sowers too.

I think we need a 2peas road trip to shop each other's stash.

Tools. I scored my heat embossing gun at a garge sale for $3, back in 2006. Still going strong. I also got some CM shape cutters for next to nothing!

Stamps. I picked up some slightly used sets back in the day!

Paper. But I love paper, paper's my favorite. 😍

Ooh, you got the threading water punch!! That was quite the eage back in the day - I still love the way it looks!!

quite the haul! enjoy!
