In November 2010 I went for the first time to the Reuse Centre in Edmonton. It's the best shop ever when it comes to crafts supplies. Basically people can drop off whatever they don't need any more from books to candles, wool, cardboard, paperclips, trophies, calendars ... you get the idea. As a crafts person it's a resource centre, you go there and spend a long time going through the well-organised boxes and sorting out what you will need for the crafts on your mind. It's mostly for crafts I think, and a bit decorating your home. You pay $5 for how ever much or little you take home, it's a flat fee.
As I was going through some cards I found one addressed to "a special brother-in-law", with a sports car at the front, a bit more text and a hand-written line "To Robert, from so-and-so and family." Awesome, I thought, it perfectly matches one of my brothers-in-law and took the card home. Well, his birthday had just passed so we had to wait almost a year to send the card. My husband and I had a discussion about leaving so-and-so's name in there or using white-out and inserting my name. It became the latter. I suppose he got the card although he never said anything about it. But Robert, you are welcome to leave a comment in case you read this.
That's crazy! Thank you, I did get it. That store sounds cool.
