These beautiful red and green Velvets! There's a lovely deep aubergine colour at the back of the pile but my photography skills have taken a nose dive and I don't think you can make it out very clearly.
Some greys, blues and stone colour, hopefully for a future project based on my local river, well its an estuary but it has its own individual beauty (well you need to look closely to see it, it is in the detail)! I must admit to being a little smug with my new additions to my stock pile and did I say, all for only £3.00!!!!!!!!!! I do love a bargain. 
And this fantastic paper and card that I believe are the inserts from photo and picture frames. The pink things are paper roses, I just popped them in the basket, thought I could use them to decorate the table on Valentines day. Forward thinking! Bubble wrap to for felt making. And did I say, all for only £3.00! And just to finish off Mrs L and I went for lunch to the pub around the corner. What a lovely relaxing day, just what the doctor ordered. If you have a local scrap store please be supportive and pay it a visit, you'll be amazed at what you can find and you will help the environment because most of it its recycled waste and probably destine for a landfill site! What beauty we can make from someone else's waste. Take care
Will post again soon.

What brilliant finds and all that for just £3 was it you said!. It actually makes it worthwhile when you know that you are spending so little money AND helping to prevent waste at the same time. Your friend is to be admired taking on something like a textile degree - I have enough trouble at times and I only wear glasses

Hi Lesley, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on the hearts!
I think I need to go to your scrap store, all that for £3 is amazing! I love velvet, though I've never actually tried sewing with it yet. I love paper roses too, I bought some about a year ago and they crop up here and there all over the place :)

WOW! nice finds, I love scrapstore. It's a constant source of amazement what gets consigned to landfill. A scrapstore should be a compulsory thing in every town and city! x
