Other People’s Mistakes

Don’t you just love browsing charity shops and buying other people’s impulse/unwanted buys at much reduced costs?

Take this carrier bagful of EMU cotton.  It cost me £3, which I would assume, was probably almost the cost of one ball.

I have transformed this £3 bag into a generously sized blanket, pair of bootees and beanie hat for my new little great-grandson who was born just before Christmas.

My son, grand-daughter and great-grandson are travelling down from Wales this morning  which means we will have five generations together today.
