You should most likely rush off to the thrift store Today!! and find some. ;-) <br /><br />I'm a firm believer in signs, you know. When I was going to get rid of that jute I saw a gorgeous old crocheted jute bag at my friend's house - it belonged to her great-grandma- and then the next day I found that library book with the jute shopping bags. I took that as a sign too.:-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-37150218334028057232009-10-09T07:36:12.489-07:002009-10-09T07:36:12.489-07:00Hi Andrea

When I went to pay I finally remembered to ask what they usually do with their shrunken or moth hole damaged wool sweaters - if they sell them or just toss them out. The woman told me they throw them out so I said I thought crafters would buy them if they sold them for cheap. She said she would talk to everyone about it. I was thinking if everyone started asking about it they might stop throwing all those sweaters away - they're so perfect for felting projects. Anyway, thought you might be interested to know. ;-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-32841019647553949452009-10-08T23:37:41.512-07:002009-10-08T23:37:41.512-07:00You know, I was JUST thinking that one way to orga...You know, I was JUST thinking that one way to organize our school books would be to put them all in baskets according to subject (anatomy, geology, birding, etc) - and now I see your post: it's MEANT TO BE obviously. Thank you Heather. I will take this post as A Sign.<br /><br />Nice baskets by the way. Not that I'm hijacking your post, right?
