Charity Shop trawl #1 10.02.11

On Thursday mum and I went along the charity shops on Botchergate. It's a lottery of finding good things, but we weren't disappointed! Found, but not photographed are a whisk and two Jeffrey Deaver Books. Well you don't really need to see those do you...

The first shop we hit, Age Concern, turned out to be the best of the lot. Our full haul for the morning includes a rather nice plant pot, now with crocus bulbs in:




a pretty floral pillowcase for Scrap-e-Do use:


a purple tweed suit, which we have now felted, for Scrap-e-Do use:


a hoodie which appeals to my inner goth. The design is on the back and front and even glows in the dark:


some buttons and a fastener, for Scrap-e-Do use:



and last but not least, a dinner service including dinner plates, lunch plates, cake plates, cups and saucers, two jugs, a sugar basin and a lidded marmalade jar! The design is Midwinter Roselle:


I haven't decided how much of the set I'm going to keep yet. I will probably sell the cups and saucers as I don't really use those, and possibly one of the jugs and the sugar basin to go with it.

Welcome to Scrap-e-Do!

Hello there! We are Gill and Karen Hands, a mother and daughter team. We've decided to run a little online business together, predominantly through the folksy site. We have yet to set up a shop as we're still working on our first items for sale. However in the run up to our shop becoming functional Karen will accept knitting and crochet commissions. There will be a separate post regarding that later.

In the meantime keep an eye on this blog to be kept up to date with what we're doing, ideas, projects etc.
