I had a wonderful time visiting two dear friends on our sleepover Unbirthday weekend--- a celebration about seeing one another instead of getting presents.I also had an opportunity late that Saturday night (between fabulous dinner at the Cafe Brio and a Lara Croft action film) to put some seldom-used items up for grabs. If my friends wanted anything, they were welcome to it.
I brought hair clips, bath oils, herbal teas, a stainless steel soap dispender still in its packaging, kerchiefs, hairbands, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and silky little bags which are lovely but I never use them.
There was one bracelet which was a bit of an internal struggle to part with. It was made of beautiful luminous green beads and I bought it at a craft fair only a year ago as part of a set. I wear the earrings almost daily. But the bracelet? Gorgeous, but I think I wore it twice.
I was glad of my decision when I saw how pretty it looked on my friend Pol...
I also gave Pol my old glass coffee bodum as promised. I love the metal one I have and I'm quite sure it will be enough. :)
Hurray for friends to pass things on to!
(I must say that my dear friends often pass things the other way too---trading among ourselves has become a time-honoured tradition. I've received many clothes, shoes, and fabulous books over the years. It's like shopping for FREE!)
42 more things passed on. A tootal of 3383 things gone.

I have worn the bracelet MORE than twice already, so trust is is in good hands (or is that ON good hands?).
And the other items are lovely too. The silk bag is employed as a trinket holder... and the bath gel is already 1/8th gone.
Thank you for sharing!
That reminds me I have some clothing that needs to be shared.....
