Extra, Extra...

**Wood and carpet are here again.**

I have decided to give my blog readers advanced notice on the good stuff.  Check here, and you'll get it before the Craigslist crowd is notified.

Tile samples and some spongy stuff:

Here is the lovely wine cabinet my new friend made with fabric samples:

She made this skirt from fabric samples, too (she is amazing):

Just fabric books? No, new chairs.

Showcase:

These chairs were given a beautiful makeover using our repurposed fabric squares:

Lovely bike basket liner...

Thank you for sending pictures!

Sample books and materials from my last trip:

Worley's Wonderland

Today I made another exciting trip to 

in Castro Valley.  These guys are the nicest people.  I'm going to start collecting supplies, so get ready for some fun stuff.  

Today I got wood samples:

There are a bunch of sizes.  The wood is beautiful.  I will leave them out, and you can have whatever you can use.  

I also got more fabric books (this picture shows some of the fabric I'm collecting for a giant map of Africa I'm making):

I have some interesting sample books (colorful swatches).  I'll go through it and post more pics when I get the chance.  I'm going back on Friday to get a bunch of carpet squares (like 20, think front door mat size), so let me know if you want some.

I also had an inquiry from a lady who wants to donate to schools, after school people, worthy causes...so let's keep spreading the word and see what fun connections we can make.
