I love Free Shops!! They are awesome!
And I just wanted to show you a couple of items I got on my free shop hauls lately.
I got a cute shirt.
Free shopping is so much more exciting then regular shopping.
It’s like another person left presents there for you to find.
You’ll often find something unique, I sometimes find handmade or hand embellished clothing.
Wearing this, I already got asked twice if I am a communist, by people looking at me in bewilderment.
Free shops are awesome, coz they redistribute stuff from people that don’t need it to people that need and want it. They are like the flow stations in society. Things flow in and they flow out. No throwing beautiful, useful items into landfills or incinerators. Thinking of all the great stuff that already ended up in landfills, coz people didn’t think about it or didn’t know what to do with it, makes me pretty sad.
Another person commented I was post socialist. I liked that. And of curz I am post socialist!
No exchange of money needed. Just giving and receiving.
Ladybug skirt!
It’s almost like a free rental shop, if you don’t like something, just bring it back or give it to another free shop or one of your friends.
The kettle in our studio kitchen broke. I had just brought a kettle to the free shop a couple of weeks ago. And I found this one last time. Mini kettle. Cute!
My favourite free shop in Berlin is called “Schenkladen”, which translated means “the shop of giving”. Sweet name!
This is a patch from a shirt that looks like a pyjama top. It says ‘superluck’, how cool is that?!
A new friend of mine invited me to a ‘free flea market’. Can’t wait to go! Have you been to a free shop before? What cool things did you get or experience?
