Have you ever wondered whether those wonderful volunteers who work in the charity shops go home and tell their families all about the goings on of the day? Well, I think I might have cropped up in some of their conversations across their tea table tonight....I mean...why don't charity shops sell giant pine cones? or potato sacks for that matter? It just had to be done - I had to ask them!
After feeling slightly dejected and reflecting on why on earth I just asked someone if they ever had giant fir cones in their shop, my spirits lifted as I just happened to stumble across an unexpected finding of a different sort...the perfect Sensory Story storage box! To be honest I have to make that plural - boxes!! Quite by chance there they were shouting out to me "buy me, buy me!" Had to buy two really because as I was pulling the one I wanted precariously off the shelf, I happened to see another design and immediately ideas were jumping into my head like popcorn in a microwave! Can I really write another story? I mean seriously? A peacock adventure! Well lets get the squirrel done and dusted first, but just had to find a clean page in my notebook to include all my new peacock ideas.
I have these sorts of conversations in charity shops all the time!
