I remember when you came to visit and basically “shopped” my craftroom…I wish people really could do that…sometimes I have things that I don’t even remember and with fresh eyes, it reminds me what I was going to make! lol…
Even with all this time on my hands, I can’t and don’t want to craft 24/7 so there is no sense hanging on to so much that it makes it unenjoyable! I am glad to send off stuff and window shop!
I left with the most delightful jumble of yarn ends, pretty sure a variegated green and black in my stash is from you. It’s one of my faves and I am hoarding it for just the right project, not too proud to admit, lol.
I received from @calluna today. All are wonderful… but do you see that little decorated tin box on the left? Yeah…
The little tin box was full of baubles and trinkets! I feel like she sent me her fairy treasure chest. Here is the contents of that little tin box:
And just in time too… I have a whimsy swap to gather for… 
That was indeed my fairy treasure chest! But I hadn’t even really opened it in the past few years so it’s time the whimsies start circulating again. A tin made by @racky was the only proper thing for my metal bits collection, and it didn’t seem right to send the bits independent of their vessel!
I totally recognize that tin. The tutorial is famous! What an awesome thing to share, wow.
Anybody else want a random collection of whimsies & do-dads? I didn’t have time to craft for that swap, I really wanted to join just to send treasures though.
Calluna must be a wizard to get all those tiny things in that tin…wow…what a collection…and I so remember that tin…and the tutorial…thanks @magpie for sharing it again here!
If anyone has any images of Madonna with Child, I collect those for a project I am working on…details will be in my list!
Oh wow what an amazing stash you have! I’d be happy to take that halloween fabric off your hands, and will keep you in mind when I need a few buttons and beads 
I need to look through all the lists again!!
@aimr sent me some fabric and didn’t want anything in return so I would like to pay it forward instead. I’m not organized enough right now to make a comprehensive list or take pics but if anyone would like a envelope stuffed with paper ephemera I would be happy to send you one.
Send me a msg!
I love looking in on this thread, it’s a such a neat sharing thing 
I haven’t felt able to join in myself - I’ve moved a few times over the last several years (including to Fiji and back), so my stash has been quite thoroughly weeded. Since the last move, I’ve been in a town with only one little craft store, and so I buy very little now (except for painting supples and fabric for specific projects). Plus, the cost of postage here means it’s usually only worthwhile to send small items (as letters), or put little things in with other crafted swap items. But I’m enjoying looking and getting ideas for things you guys might like!
That said, the wonderful (and wizard-clever) @calluna is sending me some of those library catalog cards - I have some art plans for them!!
I have a whole box of them from @calluna from the Asheville meetup a couple years ago. I love using them.
I am glad that people know they don’t have to offer or take anything…but it is kinda of nice to have a first start point if there is something you need or want but just don’t want to go look for it or buy it…looking through some of the stashes has also motivated me to go back to my own stuff and remember why I bought it and make some projects!
And, I feel pretty confident that if I need that special button or some ribbon or something to finish off a project, I could ask here first…
I am like @magpie…I love making stuff but I don’t always want to keep the stuff I make…now that I live in a warmer climate, I have tons of hats and scarves and shawls that will sit in a drawer if I can’t find suitable homes for them…yes, I have given a lot to homeless shelters, but you know, some of them are special and I would like to know they were special and not just utilitarian to a stranger…do you know what I mean?
That’s weird. I have it turned on to allow messages and I have gotten other messages from people today. Let me see if I can send you a msg.
It must have been some sort of hickup…
Me too. It gets a little cool and wet in winter here, so I need a few warm-ish things, but nothing like the woolies I used to wear in Wellington. Most of my knitting is to give away now - there’s good charities for practical things, but some things are special, and I know my Lettuce friends appreciate handmade 
I just updated my list - I’m looking for a small piece of dark blue (navy?) corduroy fabric (~2" square) to patch a hole in a quilt.
Watch out! I might just have to send you some paper diamonds so you can make me some hexagons for my epic paper piecing quilt 
But it’s all hand sewn! My mom has put quite a few together for me and it’s tempting to have some made from Lettuce Craft friends too
You can send me however many you want me to stitch. Hand sewing isn’t speedy but it shouldn’t take too long to do a few seams. And you know I have lots of fabric!
