Second Life for Stuff in Denver
Sally Kurtzman

This handy little ten-page booklet, by former Rocky Mountain News columnist Sally Kurtzman, continues the service she started in the tabloid with "The Stuff Exchange." People with old-but-serviceable stuff are told how to get in touch with organizations that can put that stuff to good use. Second Life lists contact numbers for organizations in need of commonly found household items, and helpful tips on how to decide what goes where: trash, regifting to friends and family, donation, or storage to wait for a future trip through the decision-making process. Because the average Denverite throws out three and a half pounds of garbage a day, Kurtzman's old wartime advice to "make it do, wear it out, use it up, do without" makes sense even in the new wartime. E-mail Kurtzman at sallyk@ecentral.com for a copy.

Where and/or who is the best contact for fabric yardages. sewing projects, and craft supplies. I have a lot of fabric that I would like to donate to an organization or person who could use it.

Thanks,Paige
