looking for spare parts
so, i'm looking for some old, ratty, costumy bits for a couple toys i'm building for faire... i figure this is the best place to start looking.
i was wondering if anyone out there has a pair or two of old minnetonka moccs that can't be worn anymore... i need three pairs... or more if they're out there. i'm talking about ratty, dirty boots with holes in them that you just haven't gotten around to throwing away yet.
i'm also collecting a few old, worn out peasant pants, shirts and hats. i got some castoffs from the costume shop, but i'll need more to finish the projects.
i don't really care what size they are, or color, or style. like i said, i'm building a couple toys for the peasants to play with this year, and i was trying to save a little work and cash by recycling. i'll pro'lly be hitting thrift shoppes and garage sales soon, but "peasant clothes" and especially boots are harder to find for cheap.
if y'all have some parts you'd like to donate to the cause, i'd love you forever if you could set them aside for me. i'll most likely be in the cities off and on over the next few months, so i could try to coordinate with you to nab them at your convenience... or, i suppose i could grab them at faire too, but i was hoping to do some of the building before faire starts.
also, if you have suggestions on where else i could look, or if you could spread the word to those not on my LJ list, i'd once again love you forever. as you can see, "forever love" is going pretty cheap this year. *grin* i don't have access to any of the festival listserves anymore, and i'm not sure how to do a mass request anywhere else.
thanks muchly!
