After feeling inspired to make Christmas gifts, I went off to the hospice shop this afternoon. Scored some really good things too. But boy, I might avoid shops in general coz of the frenzied feeling to spend, spend, spend that comes on - but I found today, it was even stronger in a 2nd hand shop! What is with that? Maybe because I feel OK about buying things that are already out there, buying clothes that have already been washed of all the pesticides and nasty chemicals and finding unique finds that you really wouldn't in most regular shops. Just as well I don't frequent them too often!
So, I came away with 2 large glass jars with clamp lids for my pantry (I'm slowly building up my supply whenever I go down there and buy up what's there), 8 lovely linen serviettes with 2 textured type ones in contrasting colours to make my hot rice bags, a woven nana bag (haha) with bamboo handles - quite funky actually and great for shopping and popping things into (like library books), some clothes for Nathan (short and longsleeve t-shirts, pj's, fleece top for next winter), a woollen jumper for myself and a cool patterned jar to put the bath salts into.
