Re-Stash a Crafter

I haven't been free during the too-few hours we get good light in the house lately, so I have not been able to photograph anything pretty for you -- not the totebag in progress, not the pretty fabric from Spool, not the exciting yard of thomaspaul aviary fabric soon to become cushions. But: in my small way of helping my brother-in-law and sister-in-law furnish their new home, and get some extra breathing room in my home, I have been de-stashing a bit, emptying my 2 desks of fabric and scrapbooking scissors and beads and sequins and yadda yadda. This comes right at a time when somebody in the world can probably use and love the craft supplies I want to give away.

I've just sent an inquiry to the coordinator for "Re-Stash a Crafter" (make sure you read all the teeny text on that page, and in the sidebars -- it's a little hard but let's understand they had to put the page together in a big hurry. Or maybe my browser is just weird). I'm hoping Re-Stash can take my excess and give it to a crafter who lost his or her stash in the bushfires in Victoria, Australia. I reallyreallyreallyreallyreally love my stash. Sometimes, I have to admit, I just like visiting it and having it near and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. Imagine if you were a book-lover (which, hmm, you may well be) and ALL of your books were up in smoke. You may not need to read any of those books at the moment but you'd miss their nearness and their presence in your life. So. Re-Stash. I hope I can be part of the goodness.

ETA: This link is actually super duper helpful!! I'm sorry I didn't manage to find it before but I think the fault is my own. Anyway, there are instructions, there is a shipping address, and they will take my stuff!

It's so great that there is a place where someone can make good use of your stash. I would indeed miss my books. So many are books that we use to look up stuff for our classes. We have already given 35 boxes of books to the public library and the schools where we used to teach. You would think our library would be much smaller than it is, but there are still stacks on the floor that won't fit on the shelves.

I stumbled upon your blog. What fun it is to rumble through. Gigi
