Found! A Needle Box!

It almost makes you want to take up knitting doesn't it? All it's bright green glory and those raised letters and yarn ball calling out to you.

I don't knit, but I think I need to start collecting plastic knitting boxes with raised letters. They'll be a fine addition to my canister display.

Just don't tell Craig, ok?

I found this today at a fabric opshop. With it's bright lime green shine, I knew it was meant for me. It just goes to show you that one man's stash is another man's treasure.

On that note, I'll be destashing again this weekend. Saturday May 12th at Marrickville Town Hall. There's too many stall holders to list, but I know both Dolores and Belinda will be there. Gold coin donations go to the local girl scouts.

Details are all about the web via Frankie and PeppermintMag, but you can easily find the lowdown at Facebook. Someone asked if I had anything left after last week, boy do I ever. I have tubs that I didn't take including yarn, really cool quilt blocks for upcycling and more lots of fabric. I held some back to make sure I had something special for both markets.

See you there!

  1. I'm as green with envy! Beautiful find - I have been meaning to get out to that fabric op shop, but a trip to Marrickville this Saturday may be a good substitute!
