Mannequins and more!

OOH what fab scrumpings just keep on occurring!

Yet another list of fabulousness for you guys this week.

  • Mannequins and various limbs incl. One complete male, one armless sitting female, torsos, hands and arms (see website for piccis)
  • Lots of fabric samples in many textures, colours and patterns. All quite small (20cm ish but v useful for patchworking, rag rugging, peg dolly dresses etc
  • More clear Perspex sheets, roughly 1m x 1m.
  • Sizing cubes (those little cubes that dangle on coathangers to tell you what size the clothes are)
  • Childrens’ clothing, mainly 6-18mths but odd larger size too. All unused just left over samples from clothing industry.
  • CDs
  • Buckets with lids
  • Teabag fabric
  • Silk flowers
  • Long lengths (3-4m) of white plastic piping (60mm inner diameter)
  • Sweet jars (minus contents… sniff)

Don’t forget it won’t stick around for long, so get yourselves over and we’ll be very glad to see you!

Also looking good this week… Our summer collection of Spectacular Spectacles and accompanying kits to jazz them up even more. We have an ever increasing range of resource packs to keep you and the little ones out of mischief. The activity and craft kits now include:- Jumping Jacks, animal masks, and a variety of brooch making kits. Lots of scope in each pack to use your imagination but a little bit less overwhelming than the scrapstore in it’s entirety if your looking for a little rather than a lot of inspiration.

‘Til then fellow scrapfans!
