Little purses for your loose change

I finished these little purses today and listed them in my Folksy Shop. These are just ideal to carry your loose change and or cards. I made one for myself too.
Five little purses for loose change and or cards.

Bought today at a car boot sale



I found a selection of squares in a bag of remnants and also pretty linings. I discovered a packet of spools among some haberdashery. I spied a pin cushion just what I need. I was going to make one, which I'd like to, but this saves me having to for the moment. I found this lovely thick wool cardigan and what a bargain. I bought a few buttons too.

I do  like a rummage at a car boot sale you can pick up some nice things.

Boxes of stuff at the charity shop

 






These are the boxes of stuff that greeted me outside the charity shop today where I work on Saturday mornings. There are big plant holders, pretty flower wall plaques, glassware, sets of plates and circular brass mirror. There was even a bag of windfall eating apples. I shall enjoy the sorting and displaying them. A few bags of clothes were brought into the shop too while I was there. We get a lot of quality things donated sometimes new. Two boys came in and looked at games and racquets and picked a pair of online skates which we sold to them for only £1.00 they were pleased with their bargain! We sometimes have so much stock that we have to sell it cheaply.

More linings to my collection.

I picked up these few yards of linings today. This is my incentive to have another tidy up of my bag of linnings and maybe even buy a new container for them all.
