Don't sit still!!

That's right, if you are at my place and you sit still long enough you just might find yourself on a shelf at Vinnies a little tag hanging off you that says $2.50. For the last 3 Mondays I have taken huge bags of stuff to the op shop, this week the lady there actually said to me, "Having a clean up are you love?". Yep that would be right op shoplady!!


So to this weeks arrivals and departures (and a "shake it all about" aka recycling.)

In - 1 book Wool Pets, pig index cards, silver necklace, piece of Kokka Trefle fabric with little apples(not for immediate use), 3 mts fabric (for immediate use). 4 books "rescued" from work, 1 Homestyle magazine.

The pig index cards are so cute. They are very thin and they slide in between books on the shelf so it looks like they are going into and coming out from between the titles. The book I had to have because I have a very similar on in Japanese so I figured it would help with the instructions in that one so how could I not buy it, it's practically a translation aid. Really, I NEEDED it was not just a want.

And the "rescued" books? Well I work in a library and sometimes I just cannot bring myself to dispose of books that I have though of as precious just because they are the worse for wear. My house is like a nursing home for old books, they come here to rest for a few years, with nice gentle page turning and clean shelves before moving onto the big library in the sky.

Now for the Outs- 1 soft toy pig, 1 Piglet toy, 1 western style belt buckle, 1 small basket, 7 Hobbytex tubes from the 70's, vintage doll clothes, dolls bedding, 1 mermaid cushion, 1 shirt, 1 Minnie Mouse toy and they all went in 1 big mesh spotlight bag to the oppy.

1 pink jumper to a friend

and to the bin went 1 pillow, 4 dolls missing various limbs and eyes.

2 stopped watches went to a friend who uses the faces to make jewellery.

And finally a shake it all about. 1 mens shirt box now houses my Barbie clothes.

Out total this week 25

In -10

Boy this feels good.
