Thrifting and Stockings

I love thrifting. Do you know what I mean?  It's like an adventure! You walk into the store, hoping to  find that perfect treasure.  Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.

Before craftday I made one last stop at the The Thrift Station in Danville to try and find any fun linens to use in our stockings.  The store was pretty wiped out.  I decided to make one quick pass through the store before I left and look what I found.  

Isn't she cute?  And even better, look what I paid for her.

Here is her new home.  Now I have a place to put my morning cup of coffee.

So we had a great turnout for our Craftivism Day.  We made stockings to send off to the organization Christmas in Dixie.  This group is gathering Christmas decorations for the victims of the Tornado in Alabama.  

See this post for the details.

Everything was in order.  

Fabric table.

Trim table.

Yummy snacks from the farmers market.

Deliciously refreshing water.

Pretty flowers.

And a sample stocking.

Now all we needed were the people.  The wonderful helpers who came to give of their time and creativity to share love with others on the other side of the US.

Everyone worked hard.  We made 25 stockings!  

Ta..Da..

Thanks everyone!

Hi guys,

Sorry I've been absent the last few days.  Tom and I are traveling in Idaho/Oregon.  I'll be posting more about that next week.  I wanted to pass on a great organization that everyone should know about.  They are called give1save1.  They promote a family that wants to adopt and helps them to fund it with the help of the readers from their blog, facebook and pinterest pages.  Check them out.

The cost of adopting a child can be very expensive and a lot of loving people want to give a great home and family to a child that does not have one.  By donating and sharing, we all can help to give a child a home, even if we do not feel called to do this ourselves.  I am in awe of loving generous people who have a heart for adoption and grateful for their example.

xoxo
