Freecycle rocks

[PamNY]

I've had to force myself to face reality that I'm never going to use a lot of the fabric, buttons, elastic and such that I've accumulated over the years. Those of you who grew up with depression-era parents will understand.

I put the fabric on Freecycle and it was requested by a teacher who runs a fashion design program at a high school. I was so pleased that it's going to a good and useful purpose that I was inspired to sort through the buttons and elastic as well.

And if anyone doubts the dedication of teachers, she's got a broken collarbone and is traveling quite a long way on the subway to pick this stuff up. Makes me wish I had more for her.

I've had such good luck with Freecycle -- I nearly always get nice thank-you notes.
