No Top 3 - Week of Nov 23rd + Call for Supplies

Hi Reusers,

We had no donations this week but I will be introducing some holiday giveaways in the coming weeks, so, watch the blog or Facebook for updates.

We also have a new Call for Supplies needed in the community before the end of December:

• plaster gauze (ie for mask making)
• plaster of paris 
• vaseline 
• lots of decent quality oil based clay/Plasticine (ie Plastelina) 

If you have any of the above items kicking around drop them off during regular hours (Tuesday - Friday 9am-4:30pm) and they will go to the member seeking them out. We will post updates on our Call for Supplies page, so, watch there for the most recent needed lists.

Thanks and Happy Reusing!

Top 3 - Week of Nov 16th + Honourable Mentions

Hi Reusers!

Here are the Top 3 for the week:

1. Used spools of thread
2. Joss paper with silver and gold leaf from Ngoy Hoa
3. Faceless styrofoam mannequin heads

We also had a significant donation of some needlework books and patterns but our shelves need to be cleared before they can go out for sale; there is no room - buy our books! We thought it deserved an honourable mention:

Happy Reusing, folks!

Artist to Artist Exchange NEEDED - Drawing Table

Item Description:
I'm searching for a small sturdy wooden drawing table, maximum 4 feet wide. You have one kicking around, taking up space? Let me take it off your hands! Something like the one pictured would be great, or possibly something more contemporary would work too. Thanks!
Price: Free or cheap is great
