Question for everyone.
All proceeds to East Lancashire Hospice...
How can we earn the biggest profit from clothing recycling? Currently getting .10p for every kilo of clothes donated. This must be the lowest price, in my opinion. We can't travel very far due to volunteers dropping off the bags but I'm sure we can get more for our clothing donations. Any suggestions are very welcome. Please contact me 07519114944
Thank you for your help.

Well this is a complete one off!
Great Christmas present!
I will not be making another necklace like this one. Made from pearlised mini tiles, each one individual finish. Even the earrings will be one of a kind. The earring tiles are on silver studs but can be on fish hook or round push through backs (see last picture) if you prefer. Studs are the most commonly used. If you want an extra tile at the bottom then it can be added but I don't think it needs it. Selling this set of necklace and earrings for only £20 with all proceeds to East Lancashire Hospice. Please message me if interested and share for me. First come, first served.

Star Wars Boba Fett canvas wall art print. He is standing amidst a dramatic cloud of smoke with his signature green helmet and jetpack. Size 20" W x 30" H. 59cm W x 76cm H.
This has been donated and to me it looks like a pink tinge on the cape. Whether this is correct or whether the sun has coloured it slightly, I don't know. Please see pictures.
Collection only from BB1 area of Blackburn.
Price £20 with all proceeds going to East Lancashire Hospice.

She is moving in a flat and is short on furniture. Does anyone have the following to give away or sell cheaply?
Bedroom: Double or small double bed, chest of drawers and a wardrobe.
