Changing of Hands

 

The scientific name is Lycoris Squamigera. This lily has several common names, such as Naked Lady Lily and Surprise Lily. In the Spring the green leaves come up and look great for about a month or two. The leaves then turn brown and die. In August, up pops a stalk (no leaves) with buds that open up pretty pinkish purple lillies. Thus the name Surprise Lilly.

Well, this shopkeeper is open for barter! I am going to be posting a Changing of Hands entry once a month, so keep checking back, you may find something you can’t live without. Here is March’s Barter Goodies!

A Wooden Paper Doll with attachable (velcro) clothes. This cutie is 13 inches tall and has a 21 piece wardrobe.

                    

Sharing Time. A big person/Little Person Project Book. Some of the projects are:

1. Build a Box Playhouse
2. A Puppet Stage
3. A beautiful Daisy

A total of 40 projects.      

Vintage Full Size Strawberry Sheeting. Strawberry Fields Forever, maybe curtains.

    

Sew & Go Baby. A sewing book for Baby Gear. Everything from Baby Announcements to Recycling  Sweaters, Dad’s Shirt, etc. into baby clothes.                              

Metro 7 Blouse XL. I bought this new, never wore it. I love the blue/brown combo.

            

Faded Glory Blouse. Ladies 16/18. The blouse’s bust line did not really fit, so it is yours! The beading detail is nice.

If you see something you want, just email me with attached pictures of your barter items. We will see if a Changing of Hands can happen. If so, we will barter and exchange addresses.

Do you like to recycle or make old into new? I like to recycle clothes, furniture and new packaging(bottle caps, etc.). As a culture we throw away to many useful items! The earth’s resources are not unlimited. I have a big surprise to announce in about three weeks, so please check back, you might be interested!

Do you like thrifting? Thrifting is a big part of recycling. Check this out. I love the retro graphics!

This is one of my dream get-aways.

I would really love to hear from you about your recycling projects. Email me with the story and pictures and one entry a month will feature Your Recycle Projects.

Look around your house today to see if something old can be made new again! After all, it is Spring!
