So, we put a couple ads out on the local Freecycle boards asking for throw pillows, floor cushions, vinyl shower curtains and comforters. We had five people respond and consequently were able to pick 13 throw pillows up form three houses today! We're going to keep this up weekly to bring in as many free supplies as possible (see The Wish List for things that we're looking for). We send out quick thank you notes to people that help us by donating their unwanted items. I'm hoping that the "spring cleaning" season will aid in our efforts.However, we're not just relying on free stuff. We'll also be scouring yard sales and thrift stores. Everyone we meet seems to be excited to see how our "recycled, reused, repurposed" wedding will turn out, so we'll definitely post projects as we work on them.
