What's funny to me is that I liked sassafrass's fb page after they closed up shop...not sure how that happened, but they ended up offering boxes of leftover product for a really good price. I bought one (hated the paper...don't throw rocks, lol) and messaged them privately afterward about them maybe having some extra embellishments to put together a box of JUST embellishments for me. They charged me $29 or so (no clue why I remember that) and it was less than they charged for the first box that included the paper...it had about twice as many embellishments as the first box, too. Talk about a bargain! It was almost all duplicates to the first box or duplicated within that box, but I really liked the pieces that I got and almost asked if they could do another one for me but didn't want to become a bother.
I actually have a drawer of just those goodies being hoarded. Partly because a lot of it is really thick (their flowers are AMAZING and I think I will have to make a few canvas projects to use and showcase a bunch of them) and partly because I just don't think to use it. One part of that box that has been moved around my stash about a million times are the few sheets of their alpha stickers that I received. I made the purchase something like 4, maybe 5, years ago now and I have reached for those alphas countless times...but they never seemed to work just right with the colors I needed. Until recently. I used the orange/navy/green heavy PL kit from one of the last few that Gossamer Blue did and the orange glossy glittery ones matched almost perfectly. I used e's in every word I spelled and used them on 5 or 6 cards in the spread...guess what? I still have 4 or so e's left...meaning they are still completely usable! This is the spread that I started back in October of June 2017...I finally finished it...I'm so happy that it's finally done and I'm getting back to crafting, but I'm also happy that I finally got use a supply that I've loved and wanted to use for such a long time now. One thing I don't think I could ever over buy are alpha stickers. Especially flat ones since I tend to use those the most since PL is my dominant craft at the moment. Sigh...nostalgia.
