Today at lunch I had in my hand, but resisted buying:

+ a small set of oil paints

+ a resin kit

+ candle wick

+ a small(ish) brass panel

+ balls of Penelope-blue 4 ply wool

+ a length of evenweave fabric

+ a large silver grey cotton wrap (with the intention of shibori-ing it)

+ a light grey cabled snood

+ a small cotton hand towel with sashiko design

I really do need a lunchtime activity for in office days that doesn’t involve wandering about in shops.
