I think a fun one would be pink/orange/yellow. 2- I might be dumb, but I couldn't find the link to the care for the pads. I would LOVE to see a good how-to like your other faq pages on that. 3- I troll one of the "local" online thriftstore-like-places *L* My best finds so far have been my sewing machines! 1- I love bright color combos.

My favorites! 2: For the pantyliners: I haven't had the chance to try these yet, but am looking forward to it. I would definitely say word of mouth. 3: I go "thrifting" every single chance I get - at least weekly. Favorite find was a whole trunk of vintage fabrics that were extremely well cared for. Thank you for entering me in your drawings. What a fun way to do the giveaway.

For #2: I've been thinking about making cloth-pads and would love to try these - sounds like a great idea! For your FAQ, I'd like to see washing information. For #3: I don't get to go thrifting that often (maybe once a month or so). My favorite find has been a cashmere/silk deep violet sweater that I thrifted the yarn from. It was an XXL, so that's a lot of gorgeous yarn! ugli.tangelo.fruit at gmail dot com For #1: A dream fabric color combo would be greens and blues all mingling together like a deep ocean color – yum!

That would be my dream! 2) I haven't converted yet because of my husband. Find a way to get the men on board (make sure they know that they'll NEVER have to deal with/see them) and you'll convert more women too! 3) I found some beyond gorgeous vintage German pillowcases recently, and I turned each one into a skirt. They're wonderful! Thanks for the giveaway! 1) Honestly, if it’s batik, I want to see as many bright colors as possible all mixed in. That would be my dream!

One of my favorite finds is the huge Bow Maker that was left on "the last day" at a prominent family's estate sale. It is at least 40 years old and still working great. I even blogged about it because I was so excited with the FIND: http://spt2.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-latest-acquisition-sasheen-star-bow.html I just love it! #3 I go to garage/estate sales about 3 times a month and just love finding treasures.

I swear by these pads now - they have made *such* a difference to me!! It's amazing and I tell all my girlfriends ... even if it is not necessarily 'nice' conversation! ;) For #3 I go thrifting at least once a week - I have a few favorite places and go further afield every month ... my kids have grown to love it!! My best find recently was an Art Deco tray that I bought for my Mum for mothers day - for $4!!! For #2

My best finds were some vintage crockery - two detailed white porcelain salt and pepper shakers, a diamond faceted glass and a gorgeous floral glass platter (the latter two I glued together to make a cake stand).

I loved purple and yellow together when I was growing up. And I still love irises so must still enjoy that combo. LOVE the batik fabric you've used. Hmmm…favourite colour combo.

I'm just getting ready to start using mama cloth. I guess the #1 info I'd like is just how good is mama cloth in a heavy flow ! Oh I’d love #2 the cloth menstrual pads.
