Make a Few Little Thrifty Pennies


Hello there ...
What an awfully wet day we have here ... and its forecasting force 7 gales this evening...

O woe is me ...
 

 Such wet and windy weather ... I'm quite tired of it.
It seemed quite dark today too.


All the garden was looking sorry for itself too ... damp and dreary.

I needed to focus on something positive ... do something useful..
and what could be more useful at the moment than a few extra pennies. 

Having bought Hubby P some much needed new boots and an Approved Food order my 'pin money' stash is much depleted. 
So I had a root about the house and 'tidied' some bedroom drawers ...its amazing the amount of 'stuff' a body acquires ..I'm sure some of it breeds in the dark of the cupboards.



How many scarves does a girl need ... some are colours I would never wear ... just pretty .. I suppose that's what I was thinking.



Anyway surplus to requirements ... so off to Ebay with you. I know they won't make a lot ... but you know what they say ..

...Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves' 


 I'm holding on to this thought...


Spring and Summer has got to be on its way ...
and we can smell the flowers...

What makes it Spring for you?

  1. It's got to be daffodils. Once they peep through spring is surely here.

  2. oh yes, daffodils - they lift my soul to see them and this last winter has been so wet and dark I really am looking forward to them once again.

  3. I agree, as soon as you see either flowers or lambs, it's spring no matter what the weather! :)

  5. Now the snow has melted away I can spy my daffies just beginning to peek through the ground........oh wondrous joy, although it has rained heavily all day with monstrous winds here on the Welsh Border.

  9. If you change your mind about selling them, I often use scarves as an alternative to wrapping paper. I buy them in charity shops so they don't cost much and people sometimes give them back to me to use again once they have opened their gift! If you aren't too sure about wrapping gifts in fabric, then google Furoshiki, which is the Japanese art of wrapping gifts in fabric, they make it look really good!
