Thank you Cynthia B for this awesome donation of crocheted hats, scarves, and socks.  Cynthia hails from sunny Florida, The Sunshine State.  Love the hat designs, and extra thanks for tagging with the size.  So very helpful for me and the volunteers at the various shelters.  Nice dark scarves are always perfect for the homelss with limited if any ability to do laundry.  

Clean dry socks!!  So very important as we move into cold, damp central Ohio fall and winter weather.

Many thanks and please keep up the good work Cynthia.  Hope to see you here again on Bridge and Beyond.
