I will never be rich!

The Embroiderers Guild of Victoria hold a "Paddy's Market" day once a year, where the Guild members can clean out their stashes and sell what they no longer want. I had heaps of books and magazines, a few unworked tablecloths and doilies, and some bags of crochet cotton, which had been given to me last year by someone who was herself having a cleanout. Most of the other members have similar stuff to sell, so we all set ourselves up at tables around the hall, and then check each other's stash. Great fun! Most of us seem to find things on other tables that we want, so it reduces our profit margins somewhat! I resisted the temptation to buy other people's UFOs or SINS, nor did I buy any books, which was a big victory for me, as they are usually my downfall. In fact my only purchase was $1 for a nice piece of blue gingham with the intention of attempting Chicken Scratch. I didn't sell any of the books or mags, nor any of the cross stitch kits I had out, but most of the crochet cotton went, and all of the UFOs, so I came home with about $50. However, when I checked my eBay account tonight, I discovered I had won an auction, which is costing me $51, so hence the title of this post - I'll never be rich...
