The Scouts Rummage Sale, however…
I delivered them all to the Village Hall this morning before the Prayer Meeting. It was extremely satisfying to return this afternoon and see a lady buying some of the books, and a man happily carrying out my duvet which I’d packed into a distinctive blue bag!
I am afraid I did succumb to a very dirty spoon for a mere 20p – but with a bit of polish, I have a treasure! Lovely for serving trifles
It's a very pretty spoon, Ang.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I have a lovely 'new' feather duvet from our charity shop! I'm glad yours got a new home. And that spoon is fantastic! Is it silver?
ReplyDeleteNo Floss, it's EPNS - but still pretty nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure animals charities would accept duvets too. You now HAVE to make a trifle to test the spoon for 'schlooooopiness'

I worked in a charity shop and we wouldnt take used duvets but you will find animal charities or dogs homes will take them.
ReplyDeleteI'm imagining potential reasons for refusing duvets - must stop as they are all exceedingly unpleasant to contemplate.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very pretty spoon!
Even EPNS that is a pretty spoon.
ReplyDeleteI've known horse stables to take old duvets - to keep the horses warm in winter.

Our local dog rescue kennels are always happy to receive duvets and other bedding.
ReplyDeleteI work in a charity shop, we take used duvets, old clothes not of saleable quality & rags and sell them to the "rag man" who recyles them. It makes money for the charity, I thought most charity shops would do this.
