A plastic thread box that says "Tidee Maid" on top, 2 small hoops, and a doily:

Saved the best for last!! I found this restaurant china, a set of 75 pieces - all for $25. I love it and will keep a nice set for myself and sell off the other pieces, they are very collectible. Happy days are here again!!
