A friend told me about this strange little store here in Portland Oregon! I have driven by it many times and, from the outside, it appears to be a recycle place. Well, that's exactly what it is! scraps.com accepts recycled goods that is usable including fabric, yarn, sewing & art supplies, etc, resells it at a low price and the profits go to education. Actually, school camps. I bought a pkg of 5 fat quarters for $2, big package of large safety pins for 50 cents, fabric sample book, etc. This would be a great place for stash building! That is not my goal but I did find some good buys and even bought some office supplies. If you donate stuff to them, you get a 20% discount which I forgot to ask for. But, oh well, money goes to a good cause.

I love Oregon's green spirit. What a wonderful idea.
