Seems like they should give you a discount after making you come in and it was their fault they couldn't do it. Yes, Bonnie, they're now your shirts - you cut them up or do whatever you want with them.Tonya Ricuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778059489713831067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1133901652165681922005-12-06T15:40:00.000-05:002005-12-06T15:40:00.000-05:00…And, I tell you another thing ‘that special chari...…And, I tell you another thing ‘that special charitable shirt’s gonna invest me with even more ‘special charity’ each time I wear it or lean on it as a cushion or drape it as a quilt.<BR/>Hey Bonnie! sounds like you’ve set up the imagination of a storyteller who buys a shirt from a charity shop not realizing that the shirt was previously worn by someone very special. And, that shirt then invests as a whole, or in parts, ‘wonderful qualities’ to them that makes use of the shirt.<BR/>“Once upon a time there was just an ordinary shirt hanging on a charity shop rail…”Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807915524509627146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1133900382511675082005-12-06T15:19:00.000-05:002005-12-06T15:19:00.000-05:00I wasn't "taking the shirt off someone's back" so ...<EM> I wasn't "taking the shirt off someone's back" so to speak. </EM> Now . . that's an idea! What if you saw the *perfect* plaid shirt for your quilt but . . someone was wearing it!! :)<BR/><BR/>Oh, give me a break! Some people! I don't think it should matter if you buy the shirts and use them for rags for your car! They put them up for sale, you bought them! I really can't believe someone wrote that to you.<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the procedure being put off. I'd be a bit aggravated about that too. At least they were able to schedule you for next week and you don't have to wait four more weeks!<BR/><BR/>Just keep quilting . . keep the mine occupied!<BR/><BR/>Judy L.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720927550545452529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1133898826750599512005-12-06T14:53:00.000-05:002005-12-06T14:53:00.000-05:00I haven’t bought a new shirt in decades even thoug...I haven’t bought a new shirt in decades even though I can afford to.<BR/>A clean, serviceable shirt with no tears, scuffs and with all the buttons intact off a charity shop rail is o.k. on my back. <BR/>My ‘new shirt’ (I always conjecture with myself) will have made the less fortunate fortunate (if yuse git mi drift?). <BR/>And, by the way, I’m fortunate, also, for wearin such a becoming garment that just happened to have (before I donated for it) already had it’s ‘coming out celebration’ on another’s charitable shoulders. – <BR/>(Ind eniwaze; those in the noze bout garmints noze that garmints needs a wearin-in faze jus like a smart car, diamond ring or wrist timepiece afore it starts confidently feelin an lookin’ its best!)<BR/>Whether you wear it or ‘cut it up for cushions’ the deed of donation to charity is profited both by giver and recipient!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807915524509627146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1133896691466973322005-12-06T14:18:00.000-05:002005-12-06T14:18:00.000-05:00Hey Bon,Some people need to get a life!

It doesn't matter who buys them and I'm fairly certain that you aren't "cleaning them out" of all men's shirts, so don't worry about it. =)Ms. Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804532085018616427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1133890715566838932005-12-06T12:38:00.000-05:002005-12-06T12:38:00.000-05:00You are right about the shirts.

Thrift stores take clothing donations, clean them up and sell them to give people employment and to make money for their particular charitable cause (salvation army, etc.) Folks buy the stuff to save money, to find interesting things, or whatever, not just because that's the only place they can afford. That's what keeps the stores in business! Thanks so much for adding that pattern to your web site. You are so awesome to do that and your instructions are so user-friendly.
