Monday’s are all about thrifting {regular posting will resume next week btw} so I’ve put together a selection of items I’ve bought but really didn’t need. I thought I needed them, but really I don’t! So I’m hoping they will find a home with someone who will give their existence meaning.
There are several craft booklets involving pom poms, feathers, foam & babies. Oh my!
There are also 3 coloring books: smurfs, care bears & strawberry shortcake. I thought these would provide great line drawings for someone doing embroidery for kids.
There’s also some birds, felt flowers, ribbon & a wooden deer {like the one on our mantel.
And the bonus is this ring; I made using a thrifted earring:
I’ve been collecting vintage earrings and made rings for myself for a while now. But since the earrings come in pairs I have leftovers I’ve thought about selling on etsy. I’m not sure if there’s a market for these though so if you have any thoughts on it, let me know!
So, now you have to leave a comment so that you can be included in the drawing…don’t forget the rules, okay!
Oh, and because I want everyone to get something this week, I’m also going to be providing an embroidery pattern every day from the mail-order transfer Design #838:
You might recall that the very first transfer I shared on the blog was the chick from this collection. Fitting considering this giveaway is in honor of my 75th post, which is coming up shortly…

I would say put the extra earrings on Etsy in lots. I've seen Jennifer Perkins from Naughty Secretary Club sell bags of her surplus jewellery bits-and-bobs on Etsy. And I definitely know people who buy them to make their own jewelery.

I think there is definitely a market for your beautiful rings on ETSY! I want to buy one, for starters! :)

I am so excited to hear about your give away week. I think I am going to pass on today's since my main focus the past few weeks is getting rid of things. But....I may be entering later this week, because I am not sure that i am strong enough to resist temptation daily.
I have a fun pair of yellow and white earrings that I have been meaning to make into rings.
I have been looking forward to this!! YAY!!
