Buckley poppy!

[Tinkerbelle]

I have the Buckley poppy bought direct a few years back. I've also bought one for my stepmother. But it does mean you don't "need" to buy a new one each year. For the last couple of years I've bought the hessian shopping bags instead. One direct and one from Sainsbury's. I use them all year round and they're really well made.

I bought one the year before last from the Royal British Legion website

I agree £5 is a good donation so long as people don't just buy one and wear it for years without donating again. I made sure to give some money to a poopy seller last year but just didn't take a poppy. I always managed to lose my ordinary poppy or end up with it crumpled so the crystal one is much better for me.

I keep looking at the crystal one, I think I may get one direct from BL. I have one of the big blousey poppies, I blinged the black centre with some diamonte stones and just drop some money in the collection tin without taking a poppy. I have been doing that for about three years now.
