We hope you enjoy creating, fixing, swapping and sharing at home; doing some of the things you might have tried at this year’s Festival of Thrift. We would love to see the results, so do send them to info@festivalofthrift.co.uk and be part of the Festival’s online Best in Show on 12th September.

We will keep adding to the collection until October so you can Keep on Thrifting!
