I'd have to make up names and uses for half of this stuff though because I have no idea what some of this stuff is! :D<br /><br />Scrapiana - oooh...a printers tray...I have one of those in storage....now the wheels are turning.<br /><br />Kim - thank you!<br /><br />Margie - there are more... polished rocks, shells, auction tokens... very inspiring indeed.Lisa at lil fish studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264613554041175072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-19334507631164519962010-04-06T18:44:15.584-05:002010-04-06T18:44:15.584-05:00i think i love these little bits the most and I th...i think i love these little bits the most and I think they could be the source of great inspiration.Margie Oomenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01459762796958425287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-46987065179942795492010-04-05T15:43:04.571-05:002010-04-05T15:43:04.571-05:00I always love the button jars!! lovely treasuries ...I always love the button jars!! lovely treasuries you found!!Kim van Waardenburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737848184316666015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-59538728267065509112010-04-05T14:38:43.748-05:002010-04-05T14:38:43.748-05:00Poignant.

You could reuse bits of unmatched earings as magnets ... or could have the most interesting pieces (the ones you really prefer) displayed in a shadow box/frame with a glass. Like in a museum. Maybe with tiny vintage tags & name written with a fountain pen. OK, I'm digressing. Your collections are always so thrilling.<br />oxoxox thanks for sharing !Sonia / COZY MEMORIEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442300389429354564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-82384941991474029302010-04-05T12:35:27.739-05:002010-04-05T12:35:27.739-05:00I could lose hours making my way through all those...I could lose hours making my way through all those items, organizing them into groups, then putting them back together into one container.

Did the family take Fluffy on a vacation and he lost his collar? Maybe a young man left PA to discover the world, and that dog tag was a happy reminder of his best friend back home that he carried in his pocket. My imagination soars with the possibilities.<br /><br />When my Grandma was a teenager, she and her sisters worked in a dairy in WNY. Almost 50 years later I was prowling a flea market in Vancouver and found an old, glass milk bottle from the dairy. I surprised my Grandma with it, and we spent hours making up stories about how that milk bottle traveled so far.Mama Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149713326779589498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-57978463938057635112010-04-05T11:12:00.121-05:002010-04-05T11:12:00.121-05:00I just thought of something fun to make with tiny ...I just thought of something fun to make with tiny found objects. I saw something like this at a restaurant once. <br /><br />I wouldn't do this with precious found things... but for those little things that you just don't know what to do with.... but are neat objects.<br /><br />You could take a glass jar, like a peanut jar that is good and sturdy, and fill it mostly with rice. Add in the little found objects, a bottle cap, different colored buttons, a cuff link, a quarter, old penny, a piece of string, an earring...anything. And make a game out of it. You have to roll it around or shake it to find all the objects. You could make a list of what's in it so you know how many things are inside and make it kind of a seek and find!<br /><br />I think I'll make one today and post it up on my blog later! :) Thanks for the inspiration!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226974050458872987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-39539655728237828742010-04-05T09:10:22.779-05:002010-04-05T09:10:22.779-05:00This is such a lovely blog, I am so glad I have st...This is such a lovely blog, I am so glad I have stumbled across it.
