This provides an opportunity for others to build up a collection. Bendigo Share and Repair Shed are holding a Destash Market. Plenty of great bargains! Nothing premade. Resources excess to other's art or craft needs. Anything that someone else may like to use, from buttons to fabric, books and patterns, vintage or just found in the cupboard.
