Charity {More Inspiration}
Charity... Not the easiest of theme and then again, pretty easy when you think about the possibilities. Lucy and I came from two different angles on this - she was thinking of making something for a charity (which is an amazing thing to do); I was thinking shopping - in charity shops.
During my maternity leave I have had time to go to charity shops, a lot - they close at 5 pm, and because there are none near my work in London, it is not as easy now for me to shop there. But I do love finding gems in these shops. And believe me you can find amazing stuff, my mother-in-law found a real Mulberry purse for £8, I am not joking - I saw it, and it is the real deal. However I would not be prepared to upcycle a Mulberry purse..
However I have been known to upcycle jumpers from charity shops into cushions..

Buy a necklace, and make the wood beads more golden
Or just add interest to a chunky necklace
These are not big projects, and easily manageable until the 15th ;) As for me, my entry is currently looking like this - a bit obscure but it is all in the structure...
We hope to see many of you joining the linky party on 15th!
Awesome inspiration! Love how great minds can think so differently ;)
