Do you love to wander through charity shops?

 I love to explore charity shops wherever I am around Australia. Over the years I’ve found so many craft treasures like embroidery cottons, patterns, materials etc languishing on selves unwanted, unloved and I wonder about the story of how they got here. Bought and used? Bought as a new hobby and boredom set in? No time? Departed? Memories unwanted? I mostly use the material found and give the end result to friends. But for the past year or so, I started to give the end result..the finished item made from the finds, back to a charity shop for them to sell and raise funds for their charity. For me this is the perfect circle of giving. This is one of them: every item in this embroidered Peace sign including the hoop came from charity shops.
