It's here... my last week! I have a mere two more days to work, and my days as the Charity Shop Fairy are over. Well, sort of. I'm going on a 0 hours contract as a safety net...
There's so many posts I haven't made and so much weirdness not documented - I'm sure I can keep the blog going with retrospectives for some time!
We're off out for a farewell dinner tomorrow evening- to my surprise, an insane number of people are coming. It could be quite traumatic! I'm even considering breaking my teetotal of 6 months. It seems like an occasion on which one ought to have a drink. Though it could equally spell disaster if, as is very likely, I become slightly intoxicated and behave inappropriately!
It feels a bit like stepping of the edge of the cliff (leaving the shop, that is, not having a drink!) - and I may in fact go slightly potty without all my lovely nutters around to keep me sane!
About Me
- Sophie Millward Shoults
- I'm primarily a hoarder, a magpie with a huge stash of yarn, knitting patterns, sewing patterns, fabric, clothes, vintage tea cups, recipes, films, books - you name it.
This blog is partly about my quest to learn to finish a project, and battle my perfectionist demons: the art of imperfection, if you will.

Congratulations! How exciting, you´ve been wanting to leave for ages haven´t you? Where to next?

Yes, I handed my notice in 3 months ago... Bit of volunteering and house doctoring for a while - considering applying to the local corner shop for some part time work too so I don't starve! Then hopefully starting an electrician course at college in September.
I just found your blog and am sorry (for me) that you're not blogging anymore - though happy for you that you got out of the thrift store racket as it sounds like you needed a break. I've often thought a great novel could be spun out of all the strangeness, heartache and humanity that bubbles up in thrift shops.... All the best!
