charity shop challenge - march

the charity shop & second-hand rummaging i did in march further cemented my love for recycling via clothing & avoiding fast fashion. as well as the above shoes & the trousers seen here, i added two cardigans & a top to my wardrobe (perhaps i'll share them next month - i'd done my photos by the time i found them this morning). i'm starting to think i might have to have a one-in-one-out policy with clothing if i keep finding things. it's nice to think that if some items from my wardrobe made their way to a charity shop, someone might like them as much as i like my finds.

misprints packs

whilst tidying up my desk yesterday (pictures of my clean tidy space soon), i found a pile of misprints from printing sessions - prints that, for one reason or another (the reason often being me being a perfectionist), i hadn't considered good enough to make the cut when finalising the edition for sale. so i decided to make up five misprints packs for selling.

the pack inclues three prints & one postcard, with "mistakes" being ink being too thick/not coming through in small parts & misalignment. it's possible that someone who wasn't me might not be able to spot what was wrong with some of them. but anyway, i'm not going to use them for anything so i thought i'd offer them up as a small pack that meant someone could fill up some wallspace quickly & cheaply. the editioned prints & postcard would be £30/$47+ altogether, so i figured £10/$17 was an alright sum!

charity shop challenge - february

here's a charity shop challenge post for february. i'm a bit low on the ol' funds so should probably leave further shopping until next month. this image isn't of something i actually bought in february however. i picked up this dress for £3.99 in a charity shop a few years ago - the only difference is that it was about twelve inches longer. i finally fulfilled my intention of taking it up this weekend, & bust out my new sewing machine for the first time in the process. hurrah all round.

you can see a couple of my other purchases from this month over in the charity shop challenge flickr group. need a reminder of the guidelines? see a couple of posts back, or click here.
