Scrap Exchange in Durham
Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 6:21 pm
I have to share my $12 haul from Scrap Exchange. If you are in the Durham area, especially if you are looking for fabric stuff, you really owe yourself a trip to the Scrap Exchange. Their new digs at Golden Belt are so much larger and nicer than when they were near the Farmer's Market. And they need our support, too. Their rent is larger to go with the space.
In addition to fabric, there's wallpaper sample books and some wallpaper, carpet samples. Ribbons, buttons, findings. Paper -- there were some packs of dark red linen texture card blanks. I debated really hard, but decided I didn't need it. Some stamps and die cuts, not a lot. Medical supplies like these little cup things I can use with watercolors. Posters, CD cases, National Geographic magazines. I can't even think of all the different stuff they have. Also they sell art made with found/recycled items, so I came away with some inspiration for free!
Here's all I got for $12. The box will probably get recovered, but for 50 cents I had to have it. It holds tall cards very nicely.
