Our gift shop follows the Tollkeepers’ tradition – waste not, want not! We make our sales goods from recycled materials whenever possible – the wool from a sweater with a moth hole turns into a new pair of mitts! People give us leftover knitting wool, for socks, doll’s clothes, and hats. We make door snakes from left over cloth. We also sell selected (sometimes used) books. 1 min 50 sec17 slides
